Unit 1 Flashcards
Gross Motor Skills
Movements that require large muscle groups and little precision.
Fine Motor Skills
Require small muscle groups and more precision
Closed Skill
Performed in a highly predictable
Open Skills
Performed in an unpredictable environment.
Discrete Skill
Has a defined beginning and ending. Typically one movement skill.
Continuous Skill
Skills that are typically repetitive and don’t babe a clear end or beginning.
Serial Skills
When discrete skills are linked with continuous skills. Typically repetitive movements with specific beginning and end points.
Linear Learning
Learning occurs in a predictable, gradual series of steps. Continuous improvement with practice sometimes progressing slowing or rapidly.
Non-linear Learning
Learning that is more dynamic, unpredictable and erratic. It doesn’t follow a preset pathway.
Characteristics of Motor Skill Learning
- Improvement
- Consistency
- Stability
- Persistence
- Adaptability
Body and Movement concepts
Body awareness (what movements the body can perform) Space awareness (where the body can move) Quality of movement (how the body moves) Relationships (interactions with opponents)
Movement sequence
Represents combination of specialised fundamental movement skills and sequences.
Movement Strategies
Approach that helps an individual or team successfully achieve a movement outcome or goal.
Massed and Distributed practice
Massed practice is with short or no rest
Distributed practice is relatively long rests
Part and Whole Practice
Whole practice is practice of a motor skill entirely
Part practice is practice of parts or components of a motor skill
