pe skills and coaching

• fundamental movement skills are movement patterns that involve various different body parts
• sport specific movement skills use a range of fundamental movement skills in a sequence and can usually apply only to a specific sport
• closed motor skills are performed in a predictable, self paced environment
• open motor skills are performed in a constantly changing environment (usually externally paced)
• fine motor skills are delicate, precise movements that use small muscle groups
• gross motor skills are movements that use large muscle groups, resulting in co-ordinated action
• discrete motor skills usually have moments that go on for a short duration and have a distinct beginning and end
• serial motor skills are a sequence of discrete skills strung together to create a more complicated action
• running, jumping, catching and kicking are examples of fundamental movement skills
• open skills have a less predictable environment, and greater inter-trial variability
• closed skills have a more predictable environment, and smaller inter-trial variability
• basketball free throws and pitches in baseball are internally paced
• a pass in basketball and batting in baseball are externally paced
• bowling in cricket and rebounding in basketball are sport specific skills
• if trials are performed in similar ways it means it has low inter-trial variability
• bowling in cricket has low inter-trial variability
• if trials are really different from one another each time theyre performed, it means it has high inter-trial variability
• surfing a wave has high inter-trial variability
• swimming and cycling are examples of continuous skills
• shooting an arrow and shooting a ball in netball are examples of discrete skills
• the open and closed skill continuum is classified depending on pacing, environmental predicatability, and inter-trial variability
• sociocultural factors are made up by, SES, gender, cultural norms, beliefs, local community, peers and family
• equipment is an example of task constraint
• familial advantage is the influence of a having parents or siblings (that do a sport) have on motor skill development
• making many errors is part of the cognitive learning stage
• trial and error is part of the cognitive learning stage
• unable to detect errors is part of the cognitive learning stage
• rapid improvement is part of the cognitive learning stage
• beginning to identify and correct errors is part of the associative learning stage
• refining and replicating movement patterns is part of the associative learning stage
• beginning to apply skills to game environment is part of the associative learning stage
• regular practice to eliminate errors is part of the associative learning stage
• making few errors is part of the autonomous stage of learning
• multitasking is part of the autonomous stage of learning
• skill performance becoming automatic is part of the autonomous stage of learning
• applying skills in a game situation with tactical strategy is part of the autonomous stage of learning
• identification and correction of errors in action is part of the autonomous stage of learning
• playing/court surface is a type of task constraint
• rules are a type of task constraint
• massed practice when all the training is done at once or all skills are packed together
