What are the characteristics of games and sports?

Games and sports typically involve rules, competition, skill, and physical activity. Examples include basketball, which requires teamwork and strategy, and tennis, which involves individual skill and competition.

What are the four categories of games and sports?

Definition: The four categories are: 1. Invasion Games (e.g., soccer), 2. Net/Wall Games (e.g., volleyball), 3. Fielding/Target Games (e.g., baseball), and 4. Individual Sports (e.g., swimming). Each has distinct objectives and tactics.

Define fine and gross movement skills. Provide examples.

Definition: Fine movement skills involve small muscle groups (e.g., writing, playing piano), while gross movement skills involve large muscle groups (e.g., running, jumping).

Term: Explain discrete, continuous, and serial movement skills with examples.

Definition: Discrete skills have a clear beginning and end (e.g., a hockey shot), continuous skills have no distinct start or finish (e.g., swimming), and serial skills are a combination of discrete skills (e.g., gymnastics routines).

What is the difference between open and closed movement skills?

Open skills depend on external factors (e.g., playing soccer), while closed skills are performed in a stable environment (e.g., a bowling shot).

What is subjective vs objective motion analysis?

Subjective motion analysis is based on personal opinions (e.g., a coach's observations), while objective motion analysis relies on measurable data (e.g., video analysis, timing results).

What is the difference between massed and distributed practice? Provide examples.

Massed practice involves long sessions with little rest (e.g., practicing free throws for an hour), while distributed practice includes shorter sessions with breaks (e.g., practicing free throws in shorter intervals across the week).
