Skill Types in Sports and Physical Activities

Closed Skill: Performed in a stable environment with predictable conditions, allowing for control over the action (e.g., a golf swing).
Basic Skill: Fundamental movement or action that serves as a building block for more complex skills (e.g., running, jumping).
Open Skill: Executed in an unpredictable and changing environment where the performer must adapt to external variables (e.g., playing soccer).

Characteristics of Skills

Complex Skill: Requires high levels of coordination, timing, and expertise, often built on basic skills; involves multiple actions and decision-making processes (e.g., a gymnastics routine).

Environmental Influences on Performance

Unpredictable Skills: These are performed in environments that vary and are less controlled, requiring adaptability (e.g., team sports).
Stable Skills: Executed in environments where conditions remain consistent, allowing for practice and repetition (e.g., archery).
