Document Summary
Attentional capacity and instruction: attention directed toward the initiation (and sometimes termination) of a movement is critical, automate elementary components of a skill prior to integrating additional movement constraints in skill. Skating speed was examined in each age group in each experimental condition. Open circles - skating, stickhandling and identifying figures stick handling) When you add an extra motor component, you see a dramatic increase in the time it takes to skate. Found that the biggest impact was when you added the additional motor task (task 3 adding. Age 11, 14 and 19 difference is no longer seen between tasks equally as good skating, skating and stick handling, skating and identifying shapes, and combining all. Skating is impacted by stick handling up to the age of 11 across the ice. Skating on its own is attention demanding especially for the younger players (ages 6,8,10) It is important to teach the underlying skills before introducing new attention demanding tasks.
