What are the four skill classification continuum's?
Difficulty, Environment, Muscular Involvement, Pacing
What are the two ends of the difficulty continuum?
Basic and complex
What are the two ends of the environment continuum?
Open and closed
What are the two ends of the Muscular Involvement continuum?
Fine and Gross
What are the two ends of the pacing continuum?
self-paced and externally paced
What do open and closed refer to in environment continuum?
Open is when performer has to make decisions and modify skill to suit environment. Closed is when skills are predictable and are not affected by environment.
What is difference between fine and gross skills?
Fine is accurate and precise muscle movements of small muscle groups. Gross is large muscle groups performing with little accuracy and high force.
What is difference between self paced and externally paced?
Self paced is when performer is in control. Externally paced is when the timing and form of skill are affected by external factors.
What is difference between basic and complex skill?
Basic skill requires single thought with little cognitive load. Complex skills require multiple factors to consider at once and a high degree of accuracy.
Example of basic skill?
running
Example of complex skill?
high jump
Example of open skill?
rugby tackle
Example of closed skill?

Define performance goals?
An athlete focusing on area of performance they have total control over. No social comparison but a personal standard to be achieved.

No
Example of an outcome goal?
Aiming to achieve gold medal at olympics or getting into the regional team.
Who would generally avoid outcome goals and why?
Beginners/ novices would because failure can demotivate and winning may be unrealistic.
Can performance and outcome goals be combined? Is this generally accepted?
Yes they can. Generally tend to avoid outcome goals as they rely on factors we cannot control. eg other performers.
What is acronym for setting targets to meet goals?
SMART
What is SMART target used for?
to improve or optimise performance.
Def SMART acronym?
Specific, Measurable, Accepted, Realistic, Timebound
Description of each part of SMART?
Specific - state exactly what needs to be done
Measurable - clear what success will look like
Accepted - decided on by all participants in the process
Realistic - know its practical and steps can be taken to achieve it
Time bound - state when it will be achieved.
