Week 11 (ML) - Organismic Difference factors constraining skill acquisition

Question 1

What are the characteristics of the individual which constrain the coordination solution?

Theres 2 of them

Answer 1

1. Structural - Physical Body Structure
- Strength, speed, flexibility, anthropometric
- genes (height and weight changes)
- Development changes (growth and maturation

2. Functional - Behavioural characterstics
- Cognitive, emotion, mental
- Previous learning experience

Question 2

What did the study on physical growth and baseball indicate?

Answer 2

• Practice consistently associated with skill improvement
• Biological growth influences rate of performance gains

Question 3

Linear vs Non Linear Pedagogy

Answer 3

Linear pedagogy
Follows a sequential, step-by-step process for skill development. Skills are learned in a predetermined order, with each step building upon the previous one

Non-Linear
Nonlinear pedagogy is based on the idea that learning is more complex and unpredictable. It emphasizes the adaptability and exploration of skills in dynamic environments
accounts for inter-individual differences in self organisation of movement

Question 4

Examples of linear and non linear pedagogy in tennis

Answer 4

Linear
- Same technique instructions
- Repetition of same drill
- Shadow drill (follow the leader)

Non Linear
- Changing net height or target area
- Changing court size
- Outcome focused instructions

Question 5

Why would using constraints led approach within a nonlinear pedagogical framework be useful?

Answer 5

Structures practice and helps nuture inter-individual differences in the learners motor
