We will learn in this
section: •What is a skill and how skills differ from abilities
•How the brain learns movement Skills
•Theories involved with learning Skills
We will learn today:
1. Be able to state the characteristics of a skill and an ability
2. Able to describe the difference between a skill and an ability
3. Be able to classify skills on at least 1 continuum (some people up to 4)
Understand the role skill acquisition plays in participating
in physical activity.
Why is skill acquisition important?
• Learned• Efficient• Fluent• Aesthetic• Born-with• underlying factors • natural• Enduring• co-ordination
Skill v Ability
• Permanent Changes in behaviour
• Goal Directed• Strength• Economic• Fluent• Quick thinking• Aesthetic• natural• innate or inherited
Which words match which
term?
Skill
‘Skill is said to be gained through learning. Skill is said to be learned behaviour’
(B.Knapp)
Skills are:
Goal Directed – used to achieve
something
Learned – You are born with
themPermanent changes in behaviour

effort
Fluent

The word skill used in two main ways
Skills usually need to bring together a number of our
Abilities
To relate to an act or task
(taking a penalty kick)
As an indicator of the quality of a performance (a well
executed shot may be said to be skilful)
Despite her early performances being unsuccessful or needing her coaches support she has
When we say a Gymnast has performed a skilful back somersault we mean that:
• Learned to do the skill and can now do this every time,• Would gain a good mark in a competition• Performs with minimum effort and so efficiently• Performs the movement fluently and with confidence• Looks good in the performance and generally is close to the
technical model
AbilityWe are not born with the skills of catching, kicking and throwing etc they have to be learned
But we are born with underlying factors that allow us to perform those tasks
Abilities are:NaturalInnate or inheritedTend to be enduring traits E.g.
Strength Co-ordination Quick thinking Agility Speed
These are ABILITIES
What abilities do you need to….
Catch a ball?Hand eye coordination
AccuracyBalance
Fine motor control
Combinations of abilities are needed to perform most skills
Abilities required?
Abilities
Gross Motor Abilities: are generally related to
athletic and gross physical performance
i.e. physical fitness abilities
Psychomotor abilities:Movement controlled by the brain (psycho…
brain; motor…movement
Back to skill…..
There are 3 different Types of Skill Intellectual Skills or Cognitive Skills
Skills that involve the use of a persons mental powers like problem solving and verbal reasoning Perceptive Skills
Interpreting and making use of information coming in via the senses. eg. where to pass the ball or which shot to play in Golf
Motor Skills
Smoothly executing physical movements and responses (Voluntary Movements – eg. writing your name)
Perceptual Skill : What can You See?
Classification of movement skills
Skills have been classified on a variety of continuum.
A continuum is a line with two opposing ends and gradual changes in characteristics in between
Why classify
?
There are 4 main Continuum
Fine (Snooker Shot)
Gross (Shot
Putt)
1) Precision of the Movement
2) Is there a Definite Beginning and End?
Continuous
Serial Discrete
Running
Triple Jump
Badminton Serve
3) Who Controls the timing of the movement?
4) Does the Environment affect the skill?
Internal Pace(Tennis Serve)
External Pace(Return of Serve)
OPEN(Hockey pass in Game)
CLOSED(Hockey pass in
Practice)
Difficulty Continuum
Two others could be:
SIMPLE COMPLEX
Organisational Continuum
LOW HIGH
Swimsuits developments – Case study 2Activity….Place each of the following 8 skills on the first 4 continua (use an X and a letter to identify the skill
Long jumpCycling
Basketball dribbleBasketball lay up
Taking a penalty in footballGymnastic vault
Rifle range shootingReceiving a serve in
badminton
