- Skill difficulty continuum: Evaluates the level of cognitive effort, accuracy, and timing required for a skill.
Learning Models
- The three-stage model of skill acquisition was developed by Fitts and Posner, outlining the process through which individuals learn new skills.
Definition of Skill and Ability
- A skill is the ability to perform a task, typically developed through extensive practice.
- Ability is an innate capability, influenced by natural talent and awareness, typically inherited.
Types of Skills
- Skills are categorized into three types:
- Cognitive skills: involve mental processes.
- Perceptual skills: involve interpreting sensory information.
- Psychomotor skills: involve physical movement and coordination.
Characteristics of Skilled Performance
- Technical execution: precision in performing skills.
- Anticipation: the ability to predict movements or actions.
- Consistency: reliability in performance outcome.
- Kinaesthetic awareness: understanding and control over one’s body movements.
Indicators of Skilled Performance
- Aesthetically pleasing: visually appealing execution.
- Consistent: uniform performance across trials.
- Efficient: minimal wasted energy or resources.
- Fluent: smooth and flowing execution of skills.
- Accurate: precision in hitting targets or achieving goals.
- Controlled: maintaining stability and command over performance.
- Economical: using the least effort for the most result.
Continuums in Skill Performance
- Pacing continuum: determines when a skill starts, influenced by external factors.
- Muscular involvement continuum: examines the number of muscles engaged during a task.
- Environment continuum: assesses how external elements affect skill execution.
- Skill difficulty continuum: analyzes the cognitive requirements, accuracy needed, and timing involved.
Three Stage Model of Learning a New Skill
- Developed by Fitts and Posner, consisting of:
- Cognitive stage: beginner level, focuses on understanding the skill.
- Associative stage: intermediate athletes refine and practice the skill.
- Autonomous stage: advanced athletes exhibit automatic performance of the skill.
Feedback in Skill Learning
- Feedback is divided into two main categories:
- Extrinsic feedback: external information provided to the athlete.
- Intrinsic feedback: internal feedback derived from the athlete's own performance.
- Forms of extrinsic feedback include:
- Knowledge of results: outcome-based feedback (e.g., scores, times).
- Knowledge of performance: focuses on technique quality and execution.
Methods of Practice
- Four primary methods:
- Whole practice: practicing the full skill in one complete motion.
- Part practice: isolating segments of the skill for focused improvement.
- Whole-part-whole practice: practicing the entire skill, then parts, finally the whole again.
- Progressive-part practice: gradually adding parts of the skill in a sequential manner.
Skill and Ability
- Skill: Ability to perform a task, gained through extensive practice.
- Ability: Natural talent or mental awareness to perform a task; often inherited.
Types of Skills
- Cognitive Skills: Involves thinking and decision-making processes.
- Perceptual Skills: Relates to sensory input and interpretation.
- Psychomotor Skills: Involves physical movement and coordination.
Characteristics of Skilled Performance
- Technical Execution: Precision in performing the skill.
- Anticipation: Ability to predict outcomes based on cues.
- Consistency: Reliability in performance over time.
- Kinaesthetic Awareness: Understanding of body position and movement during performance.
Indicators of Skilled Performance
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Visual appeal of the performance.
- Consistent: Repeatedly demonstrating high-quality execution.
- Efficient: Minimal wasted effort in skill execution.
- Fluent: Smooth and seamless execution of movements.
- Accurate: Correctness in achieving the intended outcome.
- Controlled: Mastery of movements, maintaining control.
- Economical: Effective use of energy and resources.
Continuums
- Pacing Continuum: Determines the timing of when a skill begins, influenced by external factors.
- Muscular Involvement Continuum: Describes the number of muscles engaged in performing a skill.
- Environment Continuum: Measures how external factors influence skill execution.
- Skill Difficulty Continuum: Assesses the required thought, accuracy, and timing needed for a skill.
Fitts and Posner's Three Stage Model
- Cognitive Stage: Involves beginners learning the fundamentals of a skill.
- Associative Stage: Intermediate athletes refine skills and begin to perform more consistently.
- Autonomous Stage: Advanced athletes display seamless execution and high proficiency.
Feedback Types
-
Extrinsic Feedback: External information provided to the athlete; includes knowledge of results and performance.
- Knowledge of Results: Feedback about the outcome (e.g., scores).
- Knowledge of Performance: Focuses on the quality and technique of skill execution.
- Intrinsic Feedback: Internal information athletes gain from their own performance evaluation.
Practice Methods
- Whole Practice: Complete skill is practiced in its entirety.
- Part Practice: Isolates specific sections of a skill for individual focus.
- Whole-Part-Whole Practice: Completes the skill, refines sections, then practices it again as a whole.
- Progressive-Part Practice: Builds the skill by adding segments progressively until the whole is formed.
Types of Practice Formats
- Fixed Practice: Consistent environment for skill repetition to establish movement patterns.
- Massed Practice: Continuous skill practice with no breaks, simulating performance conditions under fatigue.
- Variable Practice: Involves adjusting skills in changing environments, emphasizing adaptability.
- Distributed Practice: Practice sessions interspersed with rest and recovery for analysis and feedback.
- Mental Practice: Visualization and mental rehearsal of skills to enhance performance.
Definitions
- Principle: Fundamental rule or guideline that informs decisions/actions.
- Drill: Repetitive exercises aimed at honing specific skills or techniques.
Conditioned Games
- Conditioned games adjust rules to enhance specific skills or tactics.

- Involves advanced skills mastered in a sport with a creative twist, often high-risk/high-reward (e.g., no-look pass).
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law: Law of inertia; an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon.
- Second Law: Law of acceleration; F = MA (Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration).
- Third Law: Law of reaction; for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Conditioned Games
- Conditioned games adjust rules to enhance specific skills or tactics.
- These games replicate match conditions for effective practice.
Principles of Effective Practice
- Varied: Incorporate different practices to enhance adaptability.
- Progressive: Gradually increase difficulty to match skill development.
- Specific: Target particular skills or goals for focused improvement.
- Measurable: Track progress with data to assess performance.
- Achievable: Set realistic goals to maintain motivation.
- Realistic: Ensure practice scenarios mirror real-life situations.
- Time: Allocate appropriate duration for practices and recovery.
- Exciting: Create engaging practice environments to foster enthusiasm.
- Recorded: Document performance for assessment and feedback.
Levers in the Body
- Second Class Lever: Load positioned in the middle.
- Third Class Lever: Effort placed in the middle.
- First Class Lever: Fulcrum located in the middle.
Biomechanics and Its Applications
- Biomechanics studies the structure, function, and movement of living organisms.
- Sports biomechanics focuses on muscle, bone, ligament, and tendon interactions during movement.
Anatomical Position
- Upright, facing forward, arms down at the sides, palms facing forward is known as the anatomical position.
Planes of Movement
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right sides.
- Frontal Plane: Splits the body into front and back.
- Transverse Plane: Separates the body into top and bottom.
Movement Examples by Plane
- Running occurs in the sagittal plane.
- Russian twist exemplifies movement in the transverse plane.
- Cartwheel utilizes the frontal plane.
Axes of the Body
- Sagittal Axis: Front to back axis.
- Vertical Axis: Top to bottom axis.
- Frontal Axis: Left to right axis.
Movement and Axes Relation
- Transverse Plane: Movement around the vertical axis.
- Frontal Plane: Movement around the sagittal axis.
- Sagittal Plane: Movement around the frontal axis.
Vectors and Scalars
- Vector: Quantity with both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force).
- Scalar: Quantity with magnitude only (e.g., mass, energy).
- Displacement: A vector measuring straight-line distance from start to finish.
- Distance: A scalar measuring the total path length, ignoring direction.
Economy of Movement
- Refers to the efficiency of movement and energy conservation in athletes.
- Improved economy allows athletes to sustain higher efforts for extended periods.
Energy Expenditure
- Less energy expenditure leads to better oxygen availability, enhancing performance at higher intensities.
Creative Application of a Skill
