Continuum
A line that goes between two extremes. (CONTINUA means more than one continuum.)
E.g.
Open—————————Closed
Basic—————————Complex
Low Organisation———-High Organisation
Open Skill
It is a skill that is affected by the surrounding environment. It need to be constantly adapted by the performer to meet the requirements of the activity as the situation change around them. Also it needs adapting as they re executed. Conditions are unstable and unlikely to be the same each time the skill is performed.
Closed skill
It is a skill that is not affected by the surrounding environment. It doesn’t need to be adapted because the situation around the performer is unstable. The skill has a more set pattern and can be pre-planned. The opponents don’t directly interact during the execution of the skill. this reduces the need to make sudden changes. The conditions are likely to be same each time the skill is performed.
Visual Guidance
It's when the performer s shown the skill. Use of the video/pictures or demonstration Advantages: Copy movement Done in groups For beginners Disadvantages Demo might be incorrect Time-consuming Complex

Low organisation
easy to do
easy to break down

High organisation
harder to do
cannot be broken down
eg tumbling in gymnastics, golf swing
massed practice
no breaks skill repeated \+the correct movement pattern -boring -tiring used for experienced, older and very fit people skill must be: simple, low org, closed, not dangerous
Distributed practice
breaks
