6. Skills with low organisation are hard to separate into sub routines
7. Characteristics of a simple skill are
- there is little info to process, less speed, power and accuracy needed
- high perceptual load, lots of speed, power and accuracy needed
8. Characteristics of a gross skill are
- high perceptual load, many decisions made, lots of time, speed, power and accuracy needed
- large muscle movements, little precision
- small muscle groups, intricate and accurate movements, require hand eye coordination
9. Characteristics of a fine skill are
- small muscle groups, intricate and accurate movements, require hand eye coordination
- large muscle movements, little precision
- sub routines easily separated
10. What is perceptual load?
- The amount of information the performer has to process
- The amount of information there is in a skill
- The number of elements in a skill
11. What is a subroutine?
- Individual part of a gymnastics routine
- An individual part to a movement skill
- The routine performed after the main routine
12. Why is jumping in high jump an example of a self paced skill?
- The performer determines pace and rate and it is a closed skill
- It is a closed skill
- The pace is determined by the performer
13. Difficulty refers to whether the skill is simple or complex
14. Characteristics of a discrete skill are
- no beginning or end, movement has to be repeated to be meaningful
- there is a clear beginning and end, skill has to be started again to repeat
- discrete elements are put together in order to make a sequence
15. Continuity refers to whether a skill is
- discrete, serial or continuous
- self paced or externally paced
- fine or gross
16. An example of a complex skill is a tennis serve, because lots of speed, power and accuracy are needed.
- true - there is also a high perceptual load
- false - tennis serves are simple skills
17. Receiving a pass in hockey is an externally paced skill.
- True - it is determined by the environment
- False - it is determined by the performer
