Proficiency of Movement Flashcards
Types of Skill Classification?
- Closed Skills
- Open Skills
- Fine Motor Skills
- Gross Motor Skills
- Discrete Skills
- Serial Skills
- Continuous Skills
What defines Closed Skills?
Performed in stable environments with predictable conditions
What defines Open Skills?
Performed in dynamic and unpredictable environments
What defines Fine Motor Skills?
Involving precise movements of small muscle groups, such as those used in darts or playing the piano
What defines Gross Motor Skills?
Involving larger muscle groups and whole-body movements, such as running and jumping
What defines Discrete Skills?
Actions that have a clear beginning and end, e.g kicking a ball and throwing a dart
What defines Serial Skills?
A series of discrete skills performed in a specific sequence, e.g gymanistics and dance choreography
What defines Continuous Skills?
Actions with no clear beginning or end, e.g swimming or cycling
What are the three stages of learning?
- Cognitive
- Associative
- Autonomous
What is a cognitive learner?
- A beginner
- comprehending and learning the skill
What is an associative learner?
- Intermediate
- Refining and improving the skill through practice
- Can provide some own feedback, mostly uses coach feedback
What is an autonomous learner?
- Performing the skill automaticall with zero to no effort
What are the Biomechnanical Principles?
- Application of Force
- Projectile Motion
- Balance and Stability
- Force Summation
- Impulse
- Absorption of Force
What is the principle of Application of Force?
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.
What is the principle of Projectile Motion?
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.
What is the principle of Balance and Stability?
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.
What is the principle of Force Summation?
This principle involves coordinating muscle actions to produce maximum force or velocity.
Efficient force summation enhances athletic performance by maximizing force production.
What is the principle of Impulse?
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.
What is the principle of Absorption of Force
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.
Types of Feedback
- Knowledge of Performance
- Knowledge of Results
- Kinaesthetic Feedback
- Augmented Feedback
What is Knowledge of Performance?
This refers to the execution of a movement or skill in relation to specific movement patterns or mechanics
What is Knowledge of Results?
This tyoe of feedback provides information about the outcome or result of an action or movement
What is Kinaesthetic Feedback?
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.
What is augmented feedback?
Information provided to the performer about the performance from an external source, such as a coach, video analysis or technology
What are parts of Qualitative Movement Analysis
- Preparation
- Observation
- Evaluation
- Error Correction
What is preparation
Setting up equipment and identifying key points for observation
What is observation?
watching and recording the skill that is being rehearsed
What is evaluation?
analysisng the movement for strengths and weaknesses
What is error correction?
focuses on implementing strategies to improve performance
Types of practice
- Massed Practice
- Distributed Practice
- Blocked Practice
- Random Practice
What is massed practice?
Repeatedly practicing a skill with minimal rest
What is distributed practice?
Spacing out practice sessions with rest intervals
What is blocked practice?
Repeatedly practicing the same skill/task without variation
What is random practice?
Mixing different skills or tasks within a practice session
