what is a open skill

a skill performed in a dynamic and unpredictable enviroment

what is a closed skill

a skill performed in a stable na predictable environment

what is a discrete skill

clear beginning and and, brief duration

what is a continuous skill

made up of the same movement repeated over and over again

what is a serial skill

made up of several discrete skills put together

what is human motor development

the change in motor behaviour over the lifespan and processes which underlie theses changes

what are the key charateristics of motor developemnt

1) continuous process of change

2) are-related but not age-dependant

3) skills progress in a sequential manner

what is growth

it is quantitative changes that occur with age

what is maturation

qualitative changes that occur with age

what are the parts of newell’s model of constraints

1) individual constraints

2) environmental constraints

3) task constraints

what are constraints

factors that limit, contain, or help shape the movement

what is individual constraints:structural

relate to a person body’s structure, long term

what is individual constraints: functional

related to behaviour, short term

what are environmental constraints

exist outside the body, related to the world

what is environmental constraint:physical

characteristics of the environment, temperature humidity

environmental constraints: sociosultural

social and cultural factors influences human development, cultural norms, gender expectations

what are task constraints

external to the person, related specifically to tasks or skills

what are the parts of task constraints

goal of task

rules

equipment

how do we address constraints

adaptive sport/activity

what are the parts of adaptive sport/activity

skill level modification

rules modification

equipment modifications

modifications to environment

what is affordances

refers to the function or opportunity an environmental object, surface etc provides to an individual
