Complex - Multiple subroutines, decision making and coordination are important
Classification of a skill:
Muscular Involvement
Gross - Large muscle groups creating powerful movements. Basic motor skills
Fine - Small muscle groups creating precise and accurate movements. Requires coordination
Classification of a skill:
Continuity
Discrete - Clear beginning and end of skill
Serial - Linked discrete skills that form a continuous movement
Continuous - No clear beginning or end, the end of one subroutine is the beginning of the next

Environmental Influence

Classification of a skill:
Pacing
Self-Paced - Performer is in control of the start and pace/speed of the skill
Externally-Paced - The start of the skill and the pace is controlled by external factors
Classification of a skill:
Organisation
Low Organisation - Simple skills that can be easily broken down into parts. Discrete subroutines can be practiced separately
High Organisation - Complex skills that cannot be easily separated into subroutines
Positive Transfer + Example
Previously learned skills aids the learning of a new skill
Tennis Serve ➡️ Volleyball Serve
Negative Transfer + Example
Previously learned skills hinder the learning of a new skill
Golf Swing ➡️ Hockey Hit
Bilateral Transfer + Example
When a skill learned on one limb can be transferred to the opposite limb
Throwing with Right Arm ➡️ Left Arm
Zero Transfer + Example
Learning of one skill has no impact on the learning of another
Rowing ➡️ Archery
