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]
- In each case justify your placement
on the continuum. [6]
- 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 InfluencesDiscrete X Continuous Continuity
Self X External PacingLow
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.
