Activity Experience—

Definition
training in, observation of, practice of, or participation in physical activity
Term
Human physical activity is distinguished from animals by:
Definition

-Ability to match movements to sophisticated plans to achieve more complex physical activity goals

-Ability to apply physical activity to artistic creations

-A high degree of flexibility and adaptation in physical activity made possible by unique anatomical structures

-Ability to plan experiences that lead to improvement in performance

Term

Term

Cognitive Skills—

Definition
human acts that requires complex modes of thought, including rational analysis and problem solving, to achieve a predetermined goal
Term

Motor Skills—

Definition
human acts that require efficient, coordinated movements to achieve a predetermined goal
Term

Skill—

Definition
the quality of physical activity experience that underlies the performance of motor skills
Term

Practice—

Definition
(a) a type of physical activity experience that involves cognitive processing and leads to improvement in skill (learning); (b) repeating a task, often with an instructor’s guidance or feedback, to promote learning
Term

Learning—

Definition
a permanent alteration in the functioning of the nervous system that enables performers to achieve a predetermined goal consistently
Term

Performance Capacity—

Definition
qualities of physical activity, such as flexibility, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and strength that are developed through training rather than learning
Term

Conditioning—

Definition
the temporary end state of training reflected in the performer’s possessing an adequate level of strength, endurance, and flexibility to carry out desired tasks
Term

Practice VS Training—

Principle of Quality—

Definition
experiences that engage us in the most critical aspects of an activity are most likely to improve our capacity to perform that activity
Term

Principle of Quantity—

Definition
increasing the frequency of experiences that engage us in the critical components of a physical activity will lead to increase in our capacity to perform that activity
Term

Task Analysis—

Definition
the systematic examination of a particular physical activity for purposes of disclosing its critical components
Term

Motor Skill Taxonomy—

Definition
a classification system that categorizes motor skills according to their common critical components
Term

Term

Open Skills

Definition
—unpredictable environment, movements vary, external events
Term
