How are movement skills improved?

In this area of study students examine the biomechanical and skill acquisition principles that can
be applied when analysing and improving movement skills used in physical activity and sport.
Through coaching and involvement in a variety of practical activities, students investigate and
analyse movements to develop an understanding of how the correct application of biomechanical
and skill acquisition principles leads to greater efficiency and accuracy in movement skills.

Key Knowledge/s:
classification of movement skills including
fundamental movement skills, sport specific skills,
open and closed skills, gross and ne skills, and
discrete, serial and continuous motor skills

Weeks 1 8 Term 1

Key Skills:
analyse and classify movement skills

analyse individual, task and environmental factors influencing

movement skill development

analyse the link between motor skill development and participation

and performance

perform a qualitative analysis of a movement skill using video and

systematic observation to analyse and improve a variety of

angular and linear kinematic concepts of
human movement: distance, displacement,

advantage of anatomical levers), stability and
balance (center of gravity, base of support
and line of gravity)

explain sociocultural factors that influence movement skill

development at different stages of learning

discuss how skill classification affects the selection of appropriate

practice strategies

participate in, observe and record the characteristics of different

types of practice strategies

perform, observe, analyse, and report on the role of feedback in

improving performance through practical- based activities.

Teaching Approaches:

Assessment ideas:

Digital Presentations, Practical lessons, Theory lessons,

small group work, individual work, and differencated
teaching styles.

Collect and analyse information from, and participate in, a variety of

practical activities to develop and refine movement skills from a coaching
perspective, through the application of biomechanical and skill acquisition
principles.

Structured questions that draw on primary data which analyses a

movement skill using biomechanical and skill acquisition principles.
