AS PE Work

To be completed Monday 23rd Sept

Assignment 1 – Classification of Skill

1.      Take a named skill from you main assessed activity and place it on all 6 continua:

• muscular involvement    • environmental influences     • continuity      • pacing                  • difficulty         • organisation                                                                                                [3]

2. In each case justify your placement on the continuum.                                                      [6]       
3. Why is it necessary for a coach or teacher to have an understanding of skill classification?                                                                                                              [3]

(Assignment marks = 12, pass mark = 9)

Optional Extension Work (essential if your goal is to gain an A or B grade).

3)   The diagram below shows a classification profile for the racing start in swimming.

Gross         X                                         Fine                       Muscular Involvement

Closed          X                                      Open                      Environmental Influences

Discrete    X                                          Continuous            Continuity

Self                                     X                 External                 Pacing

Low                                       X             High                       Organisation

                                                                                                      (after Stallings, 1982)

a)   With reference to the profile, describe the racing start in terms of each of the five continua.                                                                                                             (5 marks)

bi)   Using the same five continua, sketch a profile to describe the characteristics of a tennis serve.                                                                                                                 (3 marks)

bii)  Justify your choice of position on the continua for organisation and environmental influences.                                                                                                             (5 marks)

Hints:

‘Take a named skill’        this means that you must identify the skill ie. A shoulder pass in netball, a penalty kick in rugby.

Placing on a continuum – don’t forget this shouldn’t always be at one end or the other of the continuum.

Optional Qu 3bii)             this question is worth 5 marks so make sure you give enough justifications for the 2 continua.
