1. INT 2 PHYSICAL EDUCATION SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES

2. Lecture 1 Key Concept 1 The concept of skill and skilled performance.

3. What is a technique? A movement with a purpose. Eg swimming A movement with a purpose. Eg swimming The way that a skill is performed. E.g Front Crawl The way that a skill is performed. E.g Front Crawl What is a Skill?

4. What is a skilled performance? Skill is relative to ability Skill is relative to ability Series of linked movements demonstrating Series of linked movements demonstrating - fluency - fluency - control - control - minimum of effort - minimum of effort Reflecting the performers ability Reflecting the performers ability

5. CYCLE of ANALYSIS INVESTIGATE Data collection – general / focused. Eg observation schedule / movement analysis. ANALYSE Key Concept knowledge helped analyse info. DEVELOP Programme of improvement. Detail Practices. Eg Shadow / Pressure / Conditioned. REVIEW / EVALUATE Reflect on benefits. Improvements to achieve.

6. Preparation / Action / Recovery Effective way of analysing Skills & Techniques. Effective way of analysing Skills & Techniques. 3 Phases of breaking down skills / movements eg Badminton High Serve. 3 Phases of breaking down skills / movements eg Badminton High Serve. PrepActRec Balanced split stance. Balanced split stance. Weight back. Weight back. Racquet head back. Racquet head back. Shuttle held in front of body. Shuttle held in front of body. Transfer weight to front foot. Transfer weight to front foot. Swing Racquet head quickly up and forward Swing Racquet head quickly up and forward Release shuttle onto racquet head. Release shuttle onto racquet head. Follow through in direction of shuttle travel. Follow through in direction of shuttle travel. Regain balance. Regain balance. Return to base. Return to base. Anticipate return stroke. Anticipate return stroke.

7. Learning Loop – processing info. 2. DECISION MAKING Important information? 1.INPUT Sensory info 3. OUTPUT response 4. FEEDBACK effective response?

8. CLASSIFICATION OF SKILLS CLOSED CLOSED Few variables Same response required OPEN Many choices Unpredictable

9. SIMPLE SIMPLE Little decision making. Basic movement patterns. Repetition of set movements. Eg Basketball Free throw / Badminton High Serve. COMPLEX Lots of info to be processed. Speed for feedback. Accuracy involved. Lots of subroutines. Eg High Dive / Marathon running (tactical).

10. DISCRETE DISCRETE Clear start and finish points. Eg Tennis serve Golf drive. CONTINUOUS Repetitive in nature, cyclical Eg Cycling Running. SERIAL SERIAL Identifiable constituent parts. Eg Front Crawl Lay-up.

12. There are different methods of collecting- Mechanical Analysis Mechanical Analysis Movement Analysis Movement Analysis Consideration of Quality Consideration of Quality The most effective method or combinations of data collecting depend on the activity being studied / skills or techniques being examined.
