Paper 2 Flashcards
What makes a movement skilful
-efficient
-predetermined
-coordinated
-fluent
-aesthetic
-good technique
What is an efficient movement
No wasted effort,
What is a predetermined movement
The performer knows what they are doing and what they are trying to achieve
What makes a movement coordinated
All the parts (or subroutines)of the skill are linked together seamlessly
What is a continuum
A range or sliding scale between two extreme points
What two continuums are motor or movement skills classified on
-environmental
-Difficulty
What does the environmental continuum measure
How much sports skills are effected by the sporting environment
What are some examples of environmental stimuli
-other players
-terrain/surface
-weather
-situation
What are the two characteristics of the environmental continuum
-Closed skills
-open skills
What are closed skills
Skills that are not effected by the environment.they are usually self paced and occur in fixed or predictable situations
What are open skills
Open skills are effected by the environment,they are mainly perceptual and externally paced
What does the difficulty continuum measure
How difficult or complex a skilful movement is
What are the two characteristics of the Difficaulty continuum
-simple
-complex
What are simple skills
Skills where the performer doesn’t have to process much information or make many decisions
What are complex skills
-Skills where the performer has to process lots of information and make lots of decisions
-skill has many subroutines
What is visual guidance
When a performer can see the skill being performed or practiced
What are some examples of visual guidance
-Demonstration
-image
-video
-observation
How does visual guidance help coaching
-Helps learner who are at the early stages of learning and have never seen or experienced the skill
-skilled performers who need to refine specific elements
What are the advantages for visual guidance
-good for visual learners
-particularly good for novice performers
-good if the demonstration is correct or clear
-can provide feedback on performance
-helpful when teaching tactics or positioning
What are the disadvantages of visual guidance
-demonstration/image/video must be a correct example of the skill,otherwise the leaner will pick up poor technique
-needs to be very detailed and specific for elite performers
What is verbal guidance
Verbal guidance is given by an observer after watching your performance
What are examples of verbal guidance
-coaching points
-feedback
-peer feedback
-questioning
What does feedback need to be to be beneficial
-constructive
-specific and accurate
What are the advantages of verbal guidance
-good if clear,short relevant
-use of key words can focus technique
-helpful accompaniment to visual
-good for elite performers
What are disadvantages of verbal guidance
-learners can only remember a limited amount of spoken information
-needs to be simple and short for novices and younger performers
-difficult to communicate subtleties and complexities of tactics
What is manual guidance
When a performer is physically guided or supported by the coach
What are the advantages of manual guidance
-good for confidence
-good for safety reasons
-allows experience of the skill before thorough learning
What are the disadvantages of manual guidance
-learner may become dependent on the support
-directing movements has little kinaesthetic(awareness of body and limb position and movement)
-gives leaners some sense of timing,action and coordination
-child safety issues
What is mechanical guidance
When a piece of equipment or aid is used to help a performer learn and practice a skill
What are some examples of mechanical guidance
-Float in swimming
-harness in trampolining
What what are the advantages of mechanical guidance
-gives confidence
-ensures safety
-gives some feel or kinaesthesis of movement
What are the disadvantages of mechanical movement
-expense of equipment
-easy to become dependent on the support
-should not be used in isolation but always made relevant to the whole performance
What are the types of feedback
-continuous and terminal feedback
-intrinsic and extrinsic
-knowledge of results and Knowledge of performance
-positive and negative feed back
What is continuous and terminal feedback
Continuous-Feedback received during a skill
Terminal-feedback received after the completion of the skill
What is intrinsic and extrinsic feedback
Intrinsic-the physical feel of the movement as it is being performed,it is felt by performer as the execute a skill
Extrinsic-provided by external sources
During or after a performance can come from coaches teammates,includes thing the performer can see or hear
What is knowledge of results (KR)
-focuses on the end of the performance,or the result or outcome of a movement
What is knowledge of performance (KP)
Focuses on how well an athlete performers and the quality and pattern of the movement
What is positive and negative feedback
Positive feedback-usually given when the player is praised following a successful outcome m
Negative feedback-received when the movement is incorrect or unsuccessful
What is imagery used for in sport
Mental or phycological technique in which the performer imagines or visualises themselves being successful in their performance
What is mental rehearsal
Performer pictures themselves executing a skill and practices the skill in their mind,focuses on specific stages and correct technique
What helps create imagery
-sight
-hearing
-touch
-smell
-taste
What does imagery and mental rehearsal help
-build confidence
-reduce anxiety
-improve concentration
-overcome problems
-improve results
What is selective attention
Where the performer focuses their communication on what they are doing and ignored all other distractions
What is positive thinking
A performer being optimistic,thinking and being confident about doing well and winning,shutting out negative thoughts and feeling well prepared
What is the effect of positive thinking on a performer
-improves motivation
-improves confidence
-improves performance
-decreases anxiety
Why do performers use goal setting
-Having relevant goals helps participants of all types in physical activity and sport
-useful for novices and experienced performers
Why is setting goals useful in sport
-goals help performers to adhere(or stick) to their training/exercise programs
-goals help motivate performers and keep them enthusiastic
-goals help to improve performance and make it the best it can be
What does goal setting help to do
-show success
-give motivation
-monitor progress
-provide ficus
-plan/adapt training
What is the use of smart targets
Setting smart goals can make a goal seem more achievable and improve or optimise the performance
What does SMART stand for
S-specific
M-measurable
A-achievable
R-recorded
T-timed
