Unit 3 - AOS 1 - Movement skills etc. Flashcards
Define Motor skills
any bodily movement used to achieve a specific goal
Define fundamental motor skills
Basis of all movements in a sport and form the foundation for sport specific skills = kicking, throwing, catching
Locomotive motor skills
- enables us to move through space
- running, jumping, hopping
Body control motor skills
- balancing, tumbling, climbing
Sport specific motor skills
often use a combo FMS in a sequence to perform movement
Closed motor skill
Performed in a predictable and self paced environment.
No interruptions to environment or changes to surroundings
Gymnastics , bowling
Open motor skill
Constantly changing, unpredictable environment and externally paced
Proximity of an opponent, the changing speed or height of a wave
Fine motor skill
Involved use of small muscle groups ( senses - touch and sight)
Baller in baseball imparting a spin on the ball
Gross motor skill
Use multiple large muscle groups and actions to production coordinated movement
Batting and hitting a ball in baseball
Discrete motor skill
Involve movements that are brief in duration and easily distinct between beginning and end ( throw , kick)
Serial motor skill
Series or group of deserter skills strung together
- more complex
- duration is prolonged but still distinct beginning and end
Floor routine in gymnastics
Continuous motor skill
Have no clear beginning and end to movement pattern
- Running and swimming
Define influences on movement
it is a limitation or restriction on the performer that can explain differences in performance
List individual constraints
- Individual to performer
- Body structure, fitness levels, psychological factors and genetics
- Functional : skill learning , attention
- Structural: body size, flexability
List task related constraints
- Rules of the game
- Equipment used
- Size and area of playing surface
Why is lighter equipment better for juniors
better technique development
List environmental constraints
- External to individual: weather, socio-cultural, gravity (can’t control)
The relationship between skill development, participation and performance
- They are directly interrelated
- More developed in motor skills = participation^ = performance^
- People are more likely to be motivated in an activity and perform well if they have skills required (decreased skill = lower confidence to participate)
Qualitative analysis of movement skills
Preparation
- Critical features of the skill
- Info about performer/athlete
Observation
- Watching the performer or recording them using tech -> from different angles
- The details of what is being observed should have been planned in prep
Evaluation
- Evaluating features of skill and comparing the technique required in skill
- Sequential: comparing mental pictures of body positions through skills to desirable phrases
- Mechanical: Applies mechanical principles (optimal body positioning and joint rage in movement)
Error correction
- Verbal feedback
- Physical conditioning
- Provide with visual model
- Mechanical guidance
Features of an individual in cognitive level of learning
