Why do you think skill is classified?

Skill Classification

Skill is either

BASIC or COMPLEX

Fine and Gross Skills

This continuum is concerned with the

precision of movement - gross and fine skills.

Gross Motor Skills

• Gross skills: involve large muscle movements which are not very precise and include many fundamental movement patterns such as walking, running and jumping.

The shot putt is an example of a primarily gross skill.

Fine Motor Skills

Fine skills: involve small precise movements using small muscle groups and generally involve high levels of hand-eye coordination. A snooker shot or darts shot are examples of fine skills.

different sports and situations.• You have to master the basic skills before

moving onto the complex skills

Examples: Running, catching, throwing, dodging and hopping

Complex

changing.• Movements have to be adapted.• Skills are predominantly perceptual.• Skills is mostly externally paced.• Draw a spider diagram with 6 legs and give

examples of sports

• Take place in a stable predictable enviroment• Perform know exactly what to do and when• Skill are not affected by the enviroment• Have a clear beginning and ending• Skills tend to be self paced.• Draw a spider diagram with 8 legs and give
