Burning questions
Chapter 10 Questions
1. Define motor skills
Tasks that require voluntary head, body/limb movement to achieve a goal.
Categorised under: Movement precision
Type of movement
Predictability of environment
2. What is the difference between open and closed skills?
Deciding whether or not a skill is opened or closed depends on the environment the skill is performed under
Factors to consider are: weather, playing surface, opposition
Open skills-Performed in a less predictable environment. E.g. White water rafting
Closed skills-the performer has the greatest control over the environment e.g. Indoor individual diving
3. What are the 3 stages of learning?
Cognitive (beginner)(“What is to be done”): performer concentrates mostly on the motor skills required to perform the task
Characteristics- Inconsistent, stiff, unrelaxed movements
Associative (intermediate)(“How to do”): performer refines their technique/movement pattern and turns their attention to external stimulus
Characteristics- more consistent, make fewer errors, variability decreasing, improvement gradual
Autonomous (advanced)(Focus on tactics and strategy): no longer consciously thinking about the skill, focus can be directed elsewhere whilst performing the skill. Have developed anticipation
Characteristics- variables are small, can detect their own errors and correct them
4. Discuss the psychological refractory period, using examples to illustrate your understanding
Responding to a “fake”
The delay in processing the second of two stimuli.
E.g. In a defence position in basketball you anticipate the player is going to move left after they have began to move in that same direction and you begin to respond, while the opponent then moves in the other direction.
As you have already began to respond to the first stimulus your body will take longer to respond to the second.
5. Define two types of practice and provide an example of how they may be used
Blocked and random practice.
Blocked: Continually performing the same skill without changing to a different task. E.g. Continually performing a netball chest pass
Random: Varied sequencing of different skills in the same training session. E.g. Netball chest pass, bounce pass, lob pass, lob pass, chest pass, bounce pass, chest pass, lob pass.
6. What is massed practice?
Massed practice has to do with the scheduling of a training session.
Characteristics: Less frequent, longer period of time, less rest periods.
Often used by local sporting teams due to other lifestyle commitments E.g. School.
Chapter 11
7. What are the 4 types of coaching?
Authoritarian- Strict, firm and demands discipline
Casual- supervisor rather than a teacher
Democratic- uses a range of specialist coached
Cooperative-involves the players in the decision making
8. Kenny is insecure and hates being yelled at. What type of coach would be suitable for Kenny and why?
Any style of coach other than authoritarian
Authoritarian coaches are strict and firm and can punish their players frequently without an explanation as to why?
A democratic coach could be an issue due to the large variety of coaching styles involved with having a large number of coaches.
9. What are some on field roles that coaches may need to undertake?
A big role coaches need to undertake is managing safety. On field roles include: Identifying risk
Evaluating risk
A way to approach that risk
Properly plan an activity
Provide proper instruction
Provide proper and adequate equipment
Match your athletes appropriately
Supervise the activity closely
10. What are some of the off field roles which coaches may undertake?
Off field roles are often associated with professional development (education of the coach). Some of these areas may include:
Coaching methods
Skills
Strategies and tactics
Rule changes
Technique changes
Technology in sport
Recovery strategies
11. What are some ethical issues a coach may have to deal with?
Team selection
Verbal and physical abuse
Drugs
Racial harassment
Spectator violence
Violence on the field
Eating disorders
Questionable game tactics
12. In order to be an exemplary coach, what skills need to be highly developed?
Communication skills, motivation skills, leadership skills, conflict resolution, understanding the group dynamics, knowledge of the sport.
Chapter 12
13. Define physical inactivity.
Undertaking insufficient physical activity to achieve measureable health outcomes.
Not engaging in any regular physical activity beyond daily activities or a lack of moderate-intensitiy physical activity (i.e. expands at least 3xs the energy expended at rest)
14. What are 4 domains of physical activity?
Leisure time activity e.g. office basketball
Household/gardening domain e.g. sweeping, vacuuming
Occupational domain e.g. digging trenches
Active transport domain e.g. walking to the train station
15. Describe 4 benefits of physical activity
Improved cardiovascular; stronger heart muscle, lower heart rate, reduced risk of stoke
Improved wellness; improved quality of life, leisure time enjoyment, improved work capacity
Improved appearance; improved physique, improved posture, fat control
Enhanced mental health and function; relief from depression, improved sleep habits, fewer stress symptoms, improved brain function.
16. Outline a health risk associated with inactivity
Type-2 Diabetes: Result from too much sugar. Occurs due to the body either not properly producing insulin or properly using it.
Obesity: Having a BMI of 30+
Chapter 13
17. What are the Australian National physical Activity guidelines (ANPAG)?
A set of guidelines for 5 age groups that recommends a frequency and intensity that physical activity should be performed at in order to obtain significant health gains.
18. What are the groups for the ANPAG?
Children birth-5 years
Children 5-12 years
Youth 12-18 years
Adults 18-65 years
Adults 65+
19. Outline the health guidelines for young children
5-12 years:
F= Everyday
I= Moderate – Vigorous physical activity
T= 60 minutes+
Chapter 14
21. Identify 3 demographic determinants of physical activity
Age
Sex
Socioeconomic status
Self efficacy
22. Define self efficacy
One’s confidence in one’s ability to perform specific behaviours in specific situations
23. Describe what a social factor is in relation to ‘determinants of physical activity’
Social factors refer to the network around us: family, spouse, partner, friends, work colleagues, health professionals and even pets.
E.g. exercising with someone, providing encouragement and praise for being active, parents paying for competition fees, driving children to training, playing with the child.
Walking the dog increases a person confidence to go for a walk.
24. Outline 4 barriers to physical activity that you may come across in everyday life
Time constraints: being a parent, spouse, partner. Occupational roles.
Personal physical and psychological health: Chronic disease, injury
Individual (internal) factors: lack of self-efficacy, lack of interest
External factors: lack of local facilities, cost, weather
25. Lyn works at her desk all day and hates to sweat. How can Lyn be more active?
Lyn could:
Take the stairs, walk to work, walk to/from the train station, take a 2 minute break every 30mins to walk around the office. Go outside on her lunch break for a walk. Sit on a swiss ball instead of an office chair.
Chapter 16
26. What are the categories of games?
Invasion
Net/court
Target
Striking/fielding
27. What defines each category?
Invasion= team games in which the purpose is to invade the opponent’s territory to score more points than the opposing team. E.g. basketball
Net/court=player or team to hit an object into the opponents court, so that the opponent cannot return it. E.g. volleyball
Target= to achieve the best possible score by placing the projectile closest to the designed target e.g. golf
Striking/fielding=to score more runs than the opponents in the designated time. E.g. softball
28. Provide 3 examples of striking/fielding games
Kickball
Softball
Baseball
29.What are some difference between tactics and strategies?
Strategy= the plan you make before competition, what you intend to do.
Tactics= the decisions/actions you execute in response to evolving situations in the game.
30. What is constraint based learning?
Changing the factors that influence learning and performance at any moment in time.
Factors include: Individual- body size, fitness, mental skills
Environmental- terrain, natural light
Task-playing area size, rules, equipment, player numbers
Changing these factors forces the players to develop their technical skills while practicing their technical skills while practicing their problem-solving and decision making skills.
31. What is discovery learning?
Repeatedly performing a specific skill and then modifying performance based on outcome feedback.
Can be guided or unguided
If-then rules: coaches relate a specific situation to a specific action.
32. How is game sense different to constraints based learning?
Constraints don’t need to be placed on a game sense situation.
The games don’t need to be competition specific. The game may be a minor game that is modified in order to teach a specific skill.
Game sense is also very focused on higher order thinking questioning.
33. In what setting would you use a game sense approach and why?
School setting
Local sporting competition training
Scenarios
34.
Feng, ages 30 years is a newly arrived immigrant from China. Feng is a dentist and travelled to Australia for a new job opportunity. She travelled to Australia alone and has no family here. Explain why Feng may find it difficult to be active.
Feng is missing the social determinant in her life. She may feel self conscious exercising on her own, or she may be missing the motivation and praise that she normally receives in China from her friends/family.
She may also not know of the facilities that are available to her.
35.
John ages 50, weighs 165kg and is classified as obese for his 178cm height. Describe three potential barriers John would need to overcome in order to be active.
1. Feeling self conscious/ insecure about his body
2. His weight could have caused weight baring injuries preventing him from gross physical movements.
3. lack of energy. Due to a sedentary lifestyle John’s body is not quite used to exercise.
36.
1) Vincent is a 17 year old boy that has just moved to Whittlesea ranges soccer team; this is his first time playing a sport for a club. He is on the A team and this is the first time he’s passed a soccer ball so it is really stressful for him. As he is passing the ball around in the drills, he notices that the result is not what he expects and the ball doesn’t meet his target and the contact on his foot doesn’t feel right so he tries again in a different way. The coach then pulls him to the side and gives him a few simple steps to improve his overall movement and therefore his result.
A) What 2 types of feedback are evident in this case study?
B) How can this feedback impact on Vincent’s skill in the game?
C) name and justify a type of coaching which can help Vincent improve in the long term.
Answers:
A) Internal & external feedback
B) Unlimited
C) Democratic/ cooperative. Where the individual athlete is more central. As opposed to being told what to do. This way long term learning will be increased.
