PE Homework Task - Acrobatic Gymnastics
Skills
Movement precision
Fine motor skills
Gross motor skills
Jumping whilst throwing someone which requires the use of large muscle groups
Pointing toes through the use of small muscle groups
Types of movement
Discrete
Serial
Continuous
One of the three individual balance skills within the balance routine
A balance routine which is made up of a series of discrete skills
There are no continuous skills as each discrete skill or routine is marked by a clear start and finish
Predictability of the environment
Skills/routines preformed in sports acro are closed as its indoor (protected from the weather), the surface of the floor is always similar, there are no opponents on the floor with you, its internally paced and has a low inter-trial variability
Stages of learning
Cognitive
Associative
Autonomous
Feedback
Intrinsic feedback
Augmented feedback
Knowledge of results
Knowledge of performance
Whether you hold the skill or you fall gives you a clear indication of whether you are completing the movement correctly or not which can then help you to improve through a trial/error process.
Cues from a coach such as "lean back more" can help to improve the process, technique and execution of the skills and routines
Information from your senses as well as your teammate's senses can help you to improve. For example if one person felt as if they were too far back on the base's legs and the flyer felt as if she were going to slip, this information can then help to change and improve on the next attempt
Practice
Practice distribution
Practice variability
Massed practice
Random practice
Distributed practice
Blocked practice
Completing 2 routines back to back without any rest in between is an example of massed practice which is suitable for high skill and motivation level
When attempting to complete a really physically demanding and difficult skill, frequent rest intervals between each attempt is an example of distributed practice.
Practicing the second skill in your dynamic routine continuously until you do 30 of them is an example of blacked practice
Practicing all of your routines in the one training session would incorporate a wide range of motor skills making it an example of random practice
Beginner stage where the learner needs to learn what is required to preform the skill in the most basic way possible therefore flyers in the cognitive stage preform their skills on the floor rather than on top of a person
Practice phase where learner starts to refine the accuracy of preforming the skill and give themselves feedback allowing them to start successfully completing more complex skills involving other people aswell
More basic skills such as holding a handstand on someone becomes automatic which enables them to focus on balancing another person on top of them without any support which then allows them to complete really difficult skills
