“This term describes how skills can be classified by the environment and by the movement precision required.”

classification of motor skills

Newton’s Laws are central to this scientific study of human motion.  

biomechanics

100

This instructional style has the coach making all decisions

direct coaching approach

100

Spacing practice with breaks is called this

distributed practice

200

This set of factors – individual, task, and environmental – influences movement skill performance.

constraints?

200

This kinematic term refers to the change in velocity per unit of time.

acceleration

200

This method emphasizes manipulating constraints to guide learning

constraints-based approach

200

Feedback provided after the performance.

terminal feedback

300

This kind of analysis breaks down movement into phases to improve performance.

qualitative movement analysis

The three learning phases in motor skill development

cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages

300

Giving feedback often and in small doses

high frequency feedback

400

The concept that developing fundamental movement skills early increases future participation.

the skill acquisition and participation link

This principle describes how the body moves using the least energy possible

the principle of conservation of energy (or efficiency of movement)

400

This external factor includes influences like peers and parents

sociocultural factors

These two qualitative aspects (one external, one internal) are considered when assessing movement form.

observation and evaluation

In the autonomous stage, performance is mostly this
