Classification of Skills

Word Cloud

Name a simple skill in sports?

​A simple skill is a straightforward movement with few subroutines and limited judgments or decisions to be made by the performer. They are generally easy to learn and can be taught as a whole

​Simple Skill

​The performer has very little to think about once the action begins

​​Few Decisions

​The skill does not require a lot of cognitive input

​​Limited information processing

​Due to its simplicity, the skill can be practiced in its entirety from the beginning.

​​Can be taught as a whole

Word Cloud

Name a complex skills?

​The performer must make numerous judgments and decisions, often under pressure and with limited time

​​Many decisions

​The skill requires significant thought, concentration, and information processing

​​High cognitive demand

​The skill is composed of many separate movements that are closely linked and must be performed in a specific order

​​Multiple subroutines

​The skill is typically broken down into its subroutines for individual practice before being combined

​​Often taught in parts

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is an example of a closed skill?

• Surfing in the ocean

• Playing soccer in a match

• Delivering the ball in tenpin bowling

• Playing basketball outdoors

Multiple Choice

Why might open skills be more difficult for learners compared to closed skills?

• Open skills are always performed alone

• Open skills require learners to adapt to unpredictable environments

• Open skills are always easier to master

• Open skills do not require any prior knowledge

Multiple Choice

Which of the following activities is an example of a gross motor skill?

• Typing on a keyboard

• Running in a race

• Tying shoelaces

• Writing a letter

Multiple Choice

What distinguishes fine motor skills from gross motor skills?

• Fine motor skills use large muscle groups, while gross motor skills use small muscle groups.

• Fine motor skills require limited movement and precision, while gross motor skills involve large movements.

• Gross motor skills are only found in individual sports, while fine motor skills are found in team sports.

• Gross motor skills require more accuracy than fine motor skills.

A netball shooter practices shooting from the edge of the D. After an hour, the coach changes the drill so that the shooter now receives a pass on the move from a player, with a defender in front of them, before shooting.

Explain the change in skill classification shown in this example, referring to the 'environmental continuum'

Types & Methods of Training

​Part Practice - Whole Practice - Whole-Part-Whole

What do you think these types of practice are? Discuss in pairs

​Breaking a complex skill into smaller sub-routines and practising each segment in isolation before putting them back together.

​​Part Practice

​Practising the entire skill as a single, complete, and seamless movement from start to finish without breaking it down.

​​Whole Practice

​The performer attempts the whole skill first, then isolates and practices the weak or difficult parts (the 'part' section), and finally puts the entire skill back together for practice.

​​Whole-Part-Whole

Options (9)

Gymnastics routine

Swimming Turn

Javelin throw

Sprinting start

Golf swing

Somersault

Tennis serve

Basketball lay up

Hockey drag flick

Categorise these into right category

Part

Whole

Whole-part-whole

​High Complexity, Low Organization. The skill has many sub-routines that can be easily separated and practiced independently without destroying the overall flow.

​Part

​Low Complexity, High Organization. The skill is quick, flowing, or the sub-routines are interdependent. Breaking it down ruins the timing and rhythm.

​​Whole

​Medium Complexity/Organization. Used to identify and fix errors within a skill that is largely whole. The performer needs to feel the whole skill first.

​​Whole-Part-Whole

The simplest way to explain it is: Learn A, then learn B, then practice A+B. Then learn C, then practice A+B+C, and so on.

​Progressive-part method (PPM)

​Continuous practice with no rest

​​Massed

​Rests or intervals are implemented

​​Distributed

​Massed and Distributed Practice
