gross and fine motor skills
gross motor skils relate to movements and coordination of large muscle groups e.g kicking a footy and fine motor skills relate to movements and coordination of small muscle groups e.g throwing a dart
open and closed motor skills
open motor skills are performed in an environment that is constantly changing and players need to respond by constantly adapting their skills to the changing environment which is externally paced e.g going for a mark. closed motor skills are easier to instruct as are predictable and planned and are internally self paced meaning the participant chooses when to act e.g b-bal free throw
