Answer 10

Involve movements that are brief in duration and easily distinct between beginning and end ( throw , kick)

Question 11

Serial motor skill

Answer 11

Series or group of deserter skills strung together
- more complex
- duration is prolonged but still distinct beginning and end

Floor routine in gymnastics

Question 12

Continuous motor skill

Answer 12

Have no clear beginning and end to movement pattern
- Running and swimming

Question 13

Define influences on movement

Answer 13

it is a limitation or restriction on the performer that can explain differences in performance

Question 14

List individual constraints

Answer 14

• Individual to performer
• Body structure, fitness levels, psychological factors and genetics
• Functional : skill learning , attention
• Structural: body size, flexability

Question 15

List task related constraints

Answer 15

• Rules of the game
• Equipment used
• Size and area of playing surface

Question 16

Why is lighter equipment better for juniors

Question 19

Qualitative analysis of movement skills

Answer 19

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

Question 20

Features of an individual in cognitive level of learning
