Document Summary
What is a motor skill: characteristics: action goal, performed voluntarily, requires movement of body, head, limbs to achieve the action goal, actions versus movements, actions- goal-directed activities that involve movements, ex. Walking throwing, catching: measures distance or time, movements- what body, head, limbs do when an action is performed. Can vary across performance and individuals for the same action: measures kinematics, kinetics. Movements: movements are the component parts, can vary across actions, a variation of movements can be used to achieve the same action goal. People adapt movements to achieve the goal of an action (kicking a soccer ball w/ different parts of the foot: 3. Actions and movements are evaluated with different types of measures. Classification of motor skills: what are the differences, what are the similarities, what factors affect performance, classification systems, 1 and 3 dimensions. : piano playing: gross or fine: running with prosthesis: gross or fine, pitching a baseball: gross or fine.
