Paper 2 Topic 2 Flashcards
What does SMART stand for?
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time-bound
Why do we have SMART targets?
Increase focus on what needs to be achieved
Increase motivation/effort
Increase task persistence (you are less likely to give up)
Allows you to progress over time
Decrease stress
OPEN SKILL
performed in an unpredicatble environment,
where the performer has to react and adjust o teamates, opponents
and conditions of play”
e.g. a tackle in football
CLOSED SKILL
“A skill performed in a predictable environment” - The
performer uses exactly the same technique every time and is in
control of what happens next.
e.g. throwing a shot put
BASIC SKILLS
“A simple skill requiring little
concentration and few sub-routines”
e.g. running 200m
COMPLEX SKILLS
“A skill requiring a lot of
attention and concentration. They are
made up of a lot of sub-routines”
e.g. a twisting somersault in gymnastics
LOW ORGANISATION SKILL
“A basic skill that
can be broken down easily and each part
practiced”
e.g. swimming front crawl
HIGH ORGANISATION SKILL
“A skill that cannot
be broken down easily because they are
whole actions”
e.g. a golf swing
FIXED PRACTICE
“Repeatedly practising a whole skill
within a training session”
This is usally done to improve a
CLOSED skill.
A good way to introduce someone to a
skill.
For example putting in golf, serving in
tennis and basketball free throw.
VARIABLE PRACTICE
“A training session that includes
frequent changes of task so that the
skill can be repeated in different
situations”
Good to practice OPEN skills.
For example a `conditioned game´
MASSED PRACTICE
“Practice that occurs withuot
breaks between trials”
Good for LOW organisation or
BASIC skills.
Good for motivated and highly
skilled performers.
The performer must have the
correct technique to begin.
DISTRIBUTED PRACTICE
Practice that has breaks for rest, feedback
and mental rehearsal”
Good for learning new skills as
it has breaks for feedback.
Breaks give chance for rest and
praise.
Complex skills are often practiced this way.
VISUAL GUIDANCE
When the performer is shown the skill:
Video, pictures & demonstrations
Demonstrations must be clear, good
quality and seen more than once.
Good for when it is not possible
to hear instructions.
VISUAL GUIDANCE (ADVANTAGES)
Useful for all levels of
performer.
Especially good for
young/inexperienced
performers.
Allows performer to see
what is required.
Performers can copy
what they have seen.
VISUAL GUIDANCE (DISADVANTEAGES)
Demonstration must be of
good quality.
Some skills are too
complex to demonstrate.
Not effective if
performers are not paying
attention.
