Sports physiology

• Eccentric feedback is when someone tells you or shows you what happened during the performance and how you can improve it
• ‘ knowledge of results’ feedback is useful for beginners because they need to be told whether or not they achieve the right result
• ‘ knowledge of performance’ will help long jump performance to find tune a long jump technique because they will be getting feedback from coaches on their movement
• Feedback is information that is given to a performer either during or after the performance with the aim to improve future performances.
• In order to give yourself intrinsic feedback you must be able to judge how well before a technique by what it felt like performed
• Verbal guidance involves explaining in words how to form a technique
• advantages of verbal guidance is steps, tactics-key points, feedback can be given immediately
• Disadvantages of verbal guidance is players must understand the basics, terminology used, overload of information, lose concentration easily
• Visual guidance involves demonstration-being shown a practical performance of the skill
• Advantages of visual guidance is it provides the learner with a mental image of the skill, draw attention to key points
• Disadvantages of visual guidance is it Can be demotivating for the learner if it is a highly complex skill, overload of information, has to be accurate
• Manual guidance involves physical manipulation- hands on a approach- physically guiding somebody through the movements
• Advances of manual guidance is the performer can feel the movement, built confidence, eliminate danger
• Disadvantages of manual guidance is safeguarding concern around children, can slow down the learning of the skill, gives a false sense of security, takes away the truth of the skill
• Mechanical guidance involves the use of equipment to help support the performer
• Advanced days of mechanical guidance is it promotes confidence, less restrictive than manual, feel for the skill, eliminates danger
• Disadvantages of manual guidance is performers can become dependent, the feel of the movement is different with guidance, cannot correct mistakes
• Selective attention is a mental preparation technique that involves focusing on the important stimulant and blocking out distractions
• Imagery is a mental preparation technique which improves concentration and reduces anxiety by creating a mental image/picture of success or happiness
• Mental rehearsal is a mental preparation technique which involves picturing yourself succeeding in the action
• Positive thinking is a mental preparation technique which involves remembering past experience is to improve confidence and motivation
• S-specific

  M-measurable

  A-achievable

  R-recordable

  T-timed
• A complex skill is a skill that requires a lot of focus and decision-making to perform
• A close skill is a skill that are performed in predictable environments (e.g. A player tackling a line out in rugby)
• A simple skill consists of basic movement actions that are not difficult to perform with few decisions to be made
• Motor skill is a learned ability to use movement to bring about the results you want
• A predetermined skilled movement is made with a predetermined result in mind-you know what you want to do before you start
• Flowing confidently from one movement to another makes the movement fluent
• Open skill are affected by the environment and are predominantly perceptual as they must be adapted to suit the environment these skills are usually externally pace
