SAC 1 Revision Flashcards
What is a Skill
The ability to do something well.
Fine Motor Skill
Recruitment of smaller muscle groups for activities that require precision.
Gross Motor Skills
Recruitment of large muscle groups for running, swimming etc.
Discrete Motor Skills
Clear beginning and end: Netball Pass.
Serial Motor Skills
Performed in a sequence, several skills in a row: Gymnastics Routine.
Continuous Motor Skills
No definite beginning or end: Running.
Closed Motor Skills
Performer has greatest control over the environment: Diving Routine.
Open Motor Skills
Performed in a less predictable environment, where conditions are frequently changing and performer has less control over the environment: Rugby.
Fundamental Movement Skills
Stability
Locomotor
Manipulative
Stability
Balance and control of body
Locomotor
Physical action that propels an individual from one place to another. Moving forward, backward, upward etc.
Manipulative
Manipulative skills involve moving or using an object with the hands or feet to achieve a goal or complete a task.
Three Stages of Learning
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
Cognitive Stage
Mentally trying to comprehend the movement requirements of the motor skill; what needs to be done.
Associative Stage
Beginning to refine technique/movement pattern. More consistent and making fewer errors.
Autonomous Stage
The skill is largely automatic, and the performer no longer consciously thinks about the skill. Meaning focus can be directed elsewhere.
