Stage 1
What are the 3 basic categories of skills?
1. cognitive skills
2. Perceptual skills
3. Motor skills
What are gross & fine motor skills?
Gross = involve large muscle groups/large muscle movements
Fine = involve smaller muscle groups resulting in precise movements
What is the name of the model that describes the phases of motor learning?
Fitts and Posner
Name something that might affect stimulus detection
Strength of cue
Noise
Length of cue
Level of arousal
Experience
What are two reasons we do a warm up?
any of the following:
- increase HR
- increase blood flow to working muscles
- increase respiratory rate = increased O2 to muscles
- increase core and muscle temp
- increase concentration
Give an example of a gross & fine motor skill
Could be:
Gross = running/walking/kicking
Fine = darts/typing/threading a needle
Focusing on strategy and tactics is which phase of the motor learning model?
Autonomous phase
name the type of time being described below:
'time between the presentation of a stimulus & the initiation of the response'
Reaction time
What are the 3 phases of a warm up?
1. General Phase
2. Dynamic Phase
3. Activity Phase
What are:
1. Discrete skills
2. Serial skills
3. Continuous skills
1. Discrete = clear beginning & end
2. Serial = make up of a number of discrete skills which are put together in a sequence
3. Continuous = do not have a clear beginning or ending
Which of the 3 phases of motor learning is the shortest?
Cognitive phase
What is concurrent feedback?
Feedback provided during the performance
What does the general phase of warm up include?
Consists of low intensity physical activity designed to slowly increase the HR and blood flow to the muscles.
Give an example of:
1. Discrete skills
2. Serial skill
3. Continuous skill
1. Netball shot/dive/soccer kick
2. Triple jump/gymnastics routine/cricket bowl
3. Cycling/running/swimming
What phase of motor learning is being described?
- athlete begins to detect & correct own errors
-combination of extrinsic augmented & specific feedback required
- some cue recognition
-moderate size and frequency of errors
Associative phase
What is proprioceptive feedback?
Feedback provided internally, through the proprioceptors in the body.
What does R.A.M.P stand for?
R = raise body temp, HR, RR & joint viscosity
A = Activate
M = Mobilise key muscle group, joints and range of motion
P = prepare for exercise by incorporating dynamic stretching
name the type of skill:
- occurs in dynamic environment
- movements are continually adapted
- decision making is made during performance
- skill is mostly externally paced
open skill
What are the 4 phases of the information processing model?
1. Input
2. Processing
3. Output
4. Feedback
What is the perceptual mechanism?
Analyses and interprets the date received from the sensory mechanism
