Key knowledge covers movement skill types (fundamental, sport-specific, open/closed, gross/fine, discrete/serial/continuous) plus constraints-based and direct coaching approaches. The notes connect motor skill development to participation and performance, introduce qualitative movement analysis steps, and outline biomechanical concepts such as Newton’s laws, kinematics, projectile motion, and equilibrium.

They are activities or tasks requiring voluntary head, body, and/or limb movement to achieve a goal.  \n- We need to classify skills to understand the particular demands of a movement to best prepare for improving this movement.  \n- Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are foundation skills that provide the basis of all movements in sport. They are also formed for the development of more sportspecific skills, especially for children. FMS can be classified as either:  \n- Stability skills that involve balance and control of the body, such as static or dynamic balancing, rolling, stopping, landing, stretching, bending and climbing.  \n- Locomotor skills that enable us to move through space, such as running, swimming, walking and jumping.  \n- Manipulative skills that involve the control of an object, including catching, throwing, striking, dribbling and kicking.  \n- Sport specific skills often utilise a range of FMS in a sequence of movement. For example, rebounding a basketball combines multiple FMS (bending, jumping, reaching for the ball, grabbing the ball, landing) to be completed.  \nThree categories to classify skills, include:  \nMovement Precision  \n- Fine motor skills require precise movements, involving the use of small muscle groups and a balance of touch and control. Eg. darts throw, archery shot, golf put, table tennis serve.  \n- Gross motor skills involve the use of large muscle groups to result in a coordinated movement, where there is generally little precision involved. This usually produces a forceful or powerful movement. Eg. kicking a football, performing a somersault, swimming backstroke, triple jump.  \nType of Movement  \n- Discrete skills are a single movement with a distinct start and finish. Eg. olympic shooting, a single basketball dribble, a chest pass, kicking a ball, hockey pass.  \n- Serial skills are a series of discrete skills put together.
