Proficiency of Movement

Question 1

Types of Skill Classification?

Answer 1

• Closed Skills
• Open Skills
• Fine Motor Skills
• Gross Motor Skills
• Discrete Skills
• Serial Skills
• Continuous Skills

Question 2

What defines Closed Skills?

Answer 2

Performed in stable environments with predictable conditions

Question 3

What defines Open Skills?

Answer 3

Performed in dynamic and unpredictable environments

Question 4

What defines Fine Motor Skills?

Answer 4

Involving precise movements of small muscle groups, such as those used in darts or playing the piano

Question 5

What defines Gross Motor Skills?

Answer 5

Involving larger muscle groups and whole-body movements, such as running and jumping

Question 6

What defines Discrete Skills?

Answer 6

Actions that have a clear beginning and end, e.g kicking a ball and throwing a dart

Question 7

What defines Serial Skills?

Answer 7

A series of discrete skills performed in a specific sequence, e.g gymanistics and dance choreography

Question 8

What defines Continuous Skills?

Answer 8

Actions with no clear beginning or end, e.g swimming or cycling

Question 9

What are the three stages of learning?

Answer 9

• Cognitive
• Associative
• Autonomous

Question 10

What is a cognitive learner?

Answer 10

• A beginner
• comprehending and learning the skill

Question 11

What is an associative learner?

Answer 11

• Intermediate
• Refining and improving the skill through practice
• Can provide some own feedback, mostly uses coach feedback

Question 12

What is an autonomous learner?

Answer 12

• Performing the skill automaticall with zero to no effort

Question 13

What are the Biomechnanical Principles?

Answer 13

• Application of Force
• Projectile Motion
• Balance and Stability
• Force Summation
• Impulse
• Absorption of Force

Question 14

What is the principle of Application of Force?

Answer 14

This principle involves the generation and application of force to perform actions in sports. For example, in soccer, a player applies force to the ball when kicking it towards the goal. The force generated by the player’s leg muscles determines the speed and direction of the ball.

Question 15

What is the principle of Projectile Motion?

Answer 15

Projectile motion describes the flight path of an object influenced by gravity after being launched into the air.

Understanding projectile motion helps players anticipate the trajectory of the ball.

In basketball, when a player shoots a free throw, the ball follows a projectile motion as it arcs towards the basket.

Question 16

What is the principle of Balance and Stability?

Answer 16

Balance refers to the ability to maintain equilibrium, while stability is the resistance to disruption of equilibrium.

Developing balance and stability skills helps athletes maintain control and prevent falls in dynamic sports situations.

Question 17

What is the principle of Force Summation?

Answer 17

This principle involves coordinating muscle actions to produce maximum force or velocity.

Efficient force summation enhances athletic performance by maximizing force production.

Question 18

What is the principle of Impulse?

Answer 18

The change in momentum of an object resulting from the application of force over time.

Increasing the impulse allows athletes to achieve greater distances in the long jump.

Question 19

What is the principle of Absorption of Force

Answer 19

This principle redirecting external forces to minimize injury or enhance performance.

In martial arts, practitioners absorb the force of an opponent’s strike by bracing their muscles and distributing the impact across their body.

Question 20

Types of Feedback

Answer 20

• Knowledge of Performance
• Knowledge of Results
• Kinaesthetic Feedback
• Augmented Feedback

Question 21

What is Knowledge of Performance?

Answer 21

This refers to the execution of a movement or skill in relation to specific movement patterns or mechanics

Question 22

What is Knowledge of Results?

Answer 22

This tyoe of feedback provides information about the outcome or result of an action or movement

Question 23

What is Kinaesthetic Feedback?

Answer 23

Kinaesthetic feedback, also known as proprioceptive feedback, involves sensory information received from receptors in muscles, tendons, and joints that provides the brain with information about the body’s position, movement, and muscular effort.

Question 24

What is augmented feedback?

Answer 24

Information provided to the performer about the performance from an external source, such as a coach, video analysis or technology

Question 25

What are parts of Qualitative Movement Analysis

Answer 25

• Preparation
• Observation
• Evaluation
• Error Correction

Question 26

What is preparation

Answer 26

Setting up equipment and identifying key points for observation

Question 27

What is observation?

Answer 27

watching and recording the skill that is being rehearsed

Question 28

What is evaluation?

Answer 28

analysisng the movement for strengths and weaknesses

Question 29

What is error correction?

Answer 29

focuses on implementing strategies to improve performance

Question 30

Types of practice

Answer 30

• Massed Practice
• Distributed Practice
• Blocked Practice
• Random Practice

Question 31

What is massed practice?

Answer 31

Repeatedly practicing a skill with minimal rest

Question 32

What is distributed practice?

Answer 32

Spacing out practice sessions with rest intervals

Question 33

What is blocked practice?

Answer 33

Repeatedly practicing the same skill/task without variation

Question 34

What is random practice?

Answer 34

Mixing different skills or tasks within a practice session
