skill acquisition, chapters 1, 3, & 4 Flashcards
fundamental movement skills
- movement patterns involving different body parts
- they are the foundational movements to more specialised sports-specific skills
sports-specific skills
utilise a range of fundamental movement skills in a sequence
closed motor skill
motor skills performed in predictable, self-paced environment
open motor skill
motor skills performed in environment that is constantly changing and is externally paced
why do we use a closed/open skill continuum
because not all sports skills, whether classified as closed or open, are identical in their ease or difficulty of execution
fine motor skills
delicate and precise movements, engaging the use of small muscle groups
gross motor skills
movements involving the use of large muscle groups that result in a coordinated action
discrete motor skills
involve movements of brief duration that are easily defined by distinct beginning and end
serial motor skills
series or group of discrete skills strung together to create a more complicated, skilled action
continuous motor skills
have no distinct beginning or end
movement constraints
factors related to individual, task, and environment influencing movement
individual constraints
those that are internal to performer that impact performance
examples of individual constraints
body structure, fitness, psychological factors and genetics
categories of individual constraints
structural or functional
what do structural constraints relate to?
body structure of individual, body composition, body size, growth patterns, flexibility, and psychological capacity
what do functional constraints relate to?
behaviours, skill learning, attention, anxiety, and perceptual ability and information processing skills
task-related constraints
include rules of game, equipment used and speed and accuracy required, explain the goal of the sport
environmental constraints
those that are external to individual such as weather, sociocultural restraints and gravity
what does Newell’s Model of Constraints include?
task constraints, environmental constraints, and individual constraints-including structural and functional
enabler
something or someone having a positive effect on one’s movement skills
