SAC 1 Preparation

• Movement Precision: Gross and Fine motor skill
• Types of Movement: Discrete, Serial and Continuous motor skills
• Environment: Closed and Open Skills
• Closed Motor Skills - skills performed in a predictable, self-paced environment where there are no interruptions or changes in the surroundings. The athlete often tries to replicate the exact movement each time in a closed skill.
• Open Motor Skills - skills performed in a constantly changing and externally paced environment which force the performer to adapt his or her basic motor skills
• Fine Motor Skills - skills that involve the cooperative use of small muscle groups and the senses of sight and touch.
• Gross Motor Skills - skills that involve a combination of large muscle actions that result in a coordinated movement. 
• Discrete Motor skills - skills that involve movements of brief duration, and they are easily defined by a distinct beginning and end
• Serial Motor Skills - a series or group of discrete skills strung together to create a more complicated, skilled action.
• Continuous motor skills - are skills that have no distinct beginning or end. These movements may continue for several minutes, often involving tracking movements. 
• Closed Skill - Stable environment, internally paced and low inter-trial variability
• Open Skill - Unstable environment, externally paced and high inter-trial variability.
• Fundamental Movement Skills - Skills that are the basis of all movements in sport.
• Practice Distribution - Massed and Distributed
• Practice Variability - Blocked and Random
• Massed Practice - Longer but less frequent sessions
• Distributed Practice - Shorter but more frequent sessions
• Blocked Practice - Long period of time focussing on a particular skill
• Random Practice - Working on multiple different skills with more rest breaks.
• Types of Feedback - Intrinsic and Augmented, Knowledge of Performance and Knowledge of results.
• Intrinsic Feedback - Visual, auditory, proprioception and touch.
• Augmented Feedback - feedback from external sources
• Direct Based Approach - an instructor orientated approach to coaching movement skills, where the learner is told what to do and how to do it.
• Constraints Based Approach - an indirect instructional method with an emphasis on learner-centred practice. 
• Types of constraints - Individual, environmental and task
• Stages of Learning - Cognitive, Associative and Autonomous.
• Qualitative Movement Analysis - Preparation, Observations, Evaluation and Error correction.
• Knowledge of results - success or failure
• Knowledge of performance - feedback on how the skill is performed.
• Summary feedback - feedback after watching a series of skills
• Terminal Feedback - Information given at the completion of the skill
• Concurrent Feedback - feedback given during the skill performance
• Sociocultural factors - Peers, positive role models, parents and price
• Timing of Feedback - Concurrent and Terminal
