Definitions of Skill

Knapp’s Definition:

‘skill is the learned ability to bring about predetermined results with maximum certainty,

often with the minimum outlay of time or energy or both.’

Illustrate this quotation using an example. Eg

A learned ability-the gymnast has learned how to perform a vault

Predetermined result- the gymnast decides on the type of vault they are going to perform

Maximum certainty – the gymnast expects to be able to perform the vault by running, jumping off the springboard, placing the hands on art of the horse, altering the body shape in the air and landing on the mat.

Maximum efficiency – the gymnast will have sufficient speed on the run up, and we use enough energy at take off to perform the vault and landing with control.

4 + 3 + 6 + 2 =

Task B: Have a look at these pictures, what can you see?

Task C: stand up

• Cognitive Skills– thought process– e.g. tactics/strategies

muscular movement.

Types of Skill

Task:

• Using page 80-81 AQA Physical Education, explain the three main types of skill. Using practical activities that you have taken part in, give examples of each of them;

–COGNITIVE SKILLS–PERCEPTUAL SKILLS–MOTOR SKILLS

Classifying skills

Read page 81 ‘classifying skills’. Get into groups. Pick a skill from a sporting

activity. Write it on a A4 page.You must explain the situation in which the skill

is being performed and place it on each of the continua.

Use page 82-85
