5.1.2 Classifications of skill

• What are motor skills in Physical Education?

  Abilities to execute movements
• Match the motor skill classification with its example:

  Fine Motor Skills ↔️ Writing

  Gross Motor Skills ↔️ Walking

  Open Skills ↔️ Playing soccer

  Closed Skills ↔️ Shooting a free throw
• Discrete skills have a clear beginning and end
• Arrange the classifications of motor skills by nature in order of duration from shortest to longest:

  1️⃣ Discrete Skills

  2️⃣ Serial Skills

  3️⃣ Continuous Skills
• How are simple and complex motor skills classified?

  By complexity
• What is the difference between gross motor skills and fine motor skills?

  Muscle groups involved
• Match the motor skill classification with its example:

  Gross Motor Skills ↔️ Running

  Fine Motor Skills ↔️ Writing
• Which muscle type is associated with fine motor skills?

  Small muscles
• What is an example of a closed skill?

  Shooting a free throw
• Motor skills involve the execution of movements with coordination to achieve desired performance
• Discrete skills have a clear beginning and end
• By what characteristic can motor skills be classified as simple or complex?

  Complexity
• What are the two main classifications of motor skills based on muscle groups and precision?

  Gross and fine motor skills
• Open skills are performed in an unstable and changing
• Motor skills involve the execution of movements using the muscles with coordination to achieve desired performance outcomes.muscles
• What are the three main classifications of motor skills by nature?

  Discrete, continuous, serial
• What is an example of a continuous skill?

  Running
• Simple skills involve minimal coordination
• Gross motor skills use large muscle groups.
• What is an example of an open skill performed in a dynamic environment?

  Playing soccer
• Which type of movement is involved in gross motor skills?

  Walking
• Understanding the classifications of motor skills is essential for designing effective training programs.

  True
• Match the motor skill classification with its example:

  Fine Motor Skills ↔️ Writing

  Gross Motor Skills ↔️ Walking

  Open Skills ↔️ Playing soccer

  Closed Skills ↔️ Shooting a free throw
• Continuous skills have distinct starting and stopping points.

  False
• What is an example of a simple motor skill?

  Running
• Which type of motor skill involves large muscle groups and lower precision?

  Gross motor skills
• What is an example of a closed skill in sports?

  Serving in volleyball
• In which type of environment are closed skills performed?

  Stable, predictable
• What are the three main classifications of motor skills by nature?

  Discrete, continuous, serial
• What type of skill involves a sequence of discrete skills?

  Serial skills
• What is an example of a continuous skill?

  Swimming
• Match the skill type with its characteristic:

  Gross Motor Skills ↔️ Large muscle groups, lower precision

  Fine Motor Skills ↔️ Small muscle groups, higher precision
• Open skills require adaptation to changing environments.

  True
• What type of environment is associated with closed skills?

  Stable
• Continuous skills do not have distinct starting and stopping
• What is an example of a gross motor skill in sports?

  Basketball running
• Gymnastics routines are examples of serial skills.

  True
• Match the skill nature with its example:

  Discrete Skills ↔️ Throwing a ball

  Serial Skills ↔️ Gymnastics routine

  Continuous Skills ↔️ Swimming
• Continuous skills have distinct starting and stopping points.

  False
• What is an example of a discrete skill?

  Throwing a ball
