PE AOS1 Skill Acquisition Flashcards
What are the fundamental movement skills (FMS) ?
Basic movements traditionally associated with Physical activity
Skill Acquisition
the science that underpins movement learning and execution and is more commonly termed motor learning and control
What is a Motor/movement skill?
a ‘special’ form of skills that require movement of the body or limbs
What are the 11 Fundamental Motor skills?
1- catch
2- kick
3- run
4- vertical leap
5- overhand throw
6- ball bounce
7- leap
8- dodge
9- punt
10- forehand strike
11- two handed strike
Briefly outline the 3 constraint types
Individual - physical, Psychological and behavioral factors that are internal to the performer
Environment- Type of environment/ setting and characteristics of where performance takes place
Task- Factors that can be manipulated in training to manipulate performance
4 Types of Internal Sensory Information
- Visual (sight)
-Auditory (hearing) - Touch (pressure)
- Proprioception (body awareness in time and space )
Benefits of a constraints based approach
- Skills taught in a more open environment
- random practice
- tactics and strategy developed
- skills effectively transferred into games
- less likely to breakdown under pressure
- self correction
Disadvantages of a constraints based approach
- skills take longer to master
- not textbook technique
- more suited to autonomous learners
Perception action coupling
is the working together of the central nervous system (CNS) ad the muscles ~ our body perceives a cue/stimulus via the CNS and then a message is delivered via the muscles to perform the desired action or skill
Sport Specific Skills (SSS)
more complex than FMS and are often a sequence of FMS ( overhand throw into sports specific skills)
3 Stages of learning
-Cognitive
- Associative
- Autonomous
Cognitive stage of learning
- beginner stage, a learner in the cognitive stage is learning the mechanics of the skills
- substantial attention is required to understand and perform the skill
….
Associative (practice) stage of learning
- movement patterns become more refined
- learner can begin to use their internal/intrinsic feedback to self correct errors
- increasing awareness of environment and external cues
- awareness of tactical info (tactics and strategies)
Autonomous Stage
- automatic stage, learner performs skills almost automatically
- little attention required to perform skills
- can make good use of intrinsic feedback
-focus on developing strategies and tactics
Fine Motor skills
The use of small muscle groups to perform skills that require precision (often rely on sight and touch )
Gross motor skills
The use of large muscles to perform skills that require strength, power and force
Types of movement
- discrete
-serial - continuous
Discrete Skills
involve movements of short duration & the skill has a clear beginning and end
Serial Skills
a series of discrete skills linked together to create a more complex skill
Continuous Skills
have no clear beginning or end. movement may continue for as long as the performer wishes. repetitive action of the same movement
Predictability of Environment - Closed Skills
- are performed in a predictable environment
-skills are self paced & the athlete can decide when they start or stop
