Write a 2 page report, aimed at elite athletes, wherein you discuss and/or explain skill classification, as well as describing and/ or explaining the difference between skill and ability. A skill is where the action can be taught and where a sportsperson's performs a task with maximum efficiency (certainty) and a minimum degree effort. In order to learn a skill in sport, we must learn the required technique and for the techniques to be learned we must have the right abilities to help us. Skill in sport is seen as a complex act, involving a range of complicated movements brought together in to one or many consistent and smooth manners. There are a few qualities that are needed in order for a performance to be skilful, consistency, accuracy, control, intention and fluidity. An example of a skill would be a tennis player hitting a drop shot. This player would recognise that his opponent is in a difficult position on the court or with the position he's in, for example the ball may be low and hard to play a deep shot off, a drop shot is the best choice of shot to play. With this knowledge he would play the drop shot knocking exactly what he wants to do and knowing what outcome he wants to achieve. "Maximum efficiency". (certainty) There are two basic classifications of skill, open skills and closed skills. Skills will almost always fit in to one or the other, if not then in
Energy Balance
Energy Balance By Elliot Nightingale Energy Intake and Expenditure Energy intake is the amount of energy taken in buy the athlete's body through food and drinks. Energy in the body cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed into different forms; this is the principle of energy conservation. Each different sports performer will require different energy intakes because of age, gender, sport, fitness level and some other factors. Energy expenditure is the amount of energy (Kcal) that a human being uses. This is influenced by the individuals: * Basal Metabolic Rate * Dietary Induce Thermogenesis * Physical activity * Adaptive Thermogenesis Basal Metabolic Rate Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of calories per day your body burns, regardless of exercise. It changes with age, weight, height, gender, diet and exercise habits. Dietary Induce Thermogenesis Diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) can be defined as the increase in energy expenditure above basal fasting level divided by the energy content of the food ingested and is commonly expressed as a percentage. It is, with basal metabolic rate and activity induced thermogenesis, one of the three components of daily energy expenditure. Although DIT is the smallest component, it could play a role in the development and/or maintenance of obesity. Physical Activity Physical activity is any form of exercise or
Motion in Sports
. In 1998 Alexander Popov completed the first 50m in 24.03 seconds and the second 50m in 24.99. Velocity= displacement × time. The displacement is the change in position from the initial position. Because the displacement is 0 in the race the velocity is 0. 2. Calculations of speed: Speed is calculated by the distance travelled divided by the time it took to travel that distance and is referred to as meters per second (ms-1).

Discuss the Role of Feedback In the Learning of Skills.
DISCUSS THE ROLE OF FEEDBACK IN THE LEARNING OF SKILLS "Feedback is the final part of the information processing system, which received during or following a movement, to notify the performer about the effectiveness of the response. In order to learn and develop skills, feedback and guidance are necessary. It also required knowledge of result and knowledge of performance." Sport and PE, Kevin Wesson In this essay I will discus how important the role of feedback is in the learning of skills and what different kinds of feedback can be used to help a person to learn theses skills. Feedback can gives us information about the quality of are performance or a certain technique. There are many different types of Feedback a athlete can use in the learning of skills, some are better than others. The different types of feedback are: Extrinsic, Intrinsic, Positive, Negative, Terminal, Concurrent, Knowledge of Performance Before discussing the role of feedback it is important to know what all of these different feedbacks are Extrinsic Feedback Extrinsic feedback is the feedback given by an outside performer. Teachers and coaches can both give extrinsic feedback as well as older peers. Intrinsic Feedback obviously the opposite of extrinsic, intrinsic feedback comes from within the performer. The performer will have his own feelings on how he believed he performed the skill or
The Layers of the Vertebrate Gut, Their Function In Different Parts of the Gut and in Different Animals
The Layers of the Vertebrate Gut, Their Function In Different Parts of the Gut and in Different Animals For the purposes of the essay the gut is considered to start from the gastroesophageal junction and terminates at the anus. The gut layers are described and their functions in different parts of the gut discussed, beginning at the gastroesophageal junction and working downward through the gastrointestinal tract. Description and discussion of the human and mammalian gut predominates, as it is these animals that have been most studied, but variations in different groups of vertebrates have been included where possible. A cross-section through the gut reveals four separate main layers with each layer performing a functionally distinct role (Fig. 1). Some layers remain relatively unchanged throughout the entire length of the tract whilst other layers are adapted for different functions in different regions of the gut. The inner mucosa is the most variable layer and is sub-divided into three further layers (1) the innermost epithelial lining adjoining the lumen of the tract (2) the lamina propria, a layer of fibrous connective tissue usually containing abundant blood and lymphatic capillaries that enable efficient secretion and absorption at the mucosal surface. It may also contain glands, lymph nodules and diffuse smooth muscle fibres (3) the muscularis mucosae, a number

Anatomy Assignment 3 Cardiovascular and Respiratory System Cardiovascular System Introduction: The Heart is made up of a powerful muscle called Myocardium. The Myocardium is composed of cardiac muscle fibbers that contracts and causes a wringing type of action. The size of you heart is a little larger than the size of your fist. The location of the heart is about left-centre of your chest. The heart is two separate pumps that continuously send blood throughout the body carrying nutrients, oxygen, and helping remove harmful wastes. The right side of the heart receives blood low in oxygen. The left side of the heart receives blood that has been oxygenated by the lungs. The blood is then pumped out into the Aorta and to all parts of the body. Many people say that Arteries carry oxygenated blood and the Venues carry deoxygenated but there is and exception for each Pulmonary Vein is the other exception as it carries oxygenated blood so its fare to say that Venues carry blood to the heart and the Arteries carry blood around the body. The Heart Diagram above and the information that follows will give a better understanding of the heart structure and how the blood circulates through the heart. Here is a diagram of the heart with the all the labelling to tell you what each part of the heart is: Right Atrium: The Right Atrium is larger than the Left Atrium but has thinner walls.
The tennis rackets' different types of failures.
Types of failures The tennis racket does have different types of failures. These types of failures can be put on a severity scale to see what types of failures are how severe: ) Frame fracture, 2) Frame breakage, 3) The strings breakage, 4) Strings become loose, 5) Worn grip Causes of Failure The causes of failure to the frame lead to frame fracture and frame breakage (as shown in Types of failure). A number of things can happen which could lead to any of these two failure types be it in a match or at home: ) Scraping the racket against the floor and net This may sound like a minor thing and at the time may not cause any great deal of concern, but in the long term, it is capable of causing cracks in the frame. 2) Clashing rackets with the opponent or a partner during a doubles match This may not be likely to happen but history shows that it has happened in the past and can cause unnecessary damage to the racket to the extreme of breakage at impact. 3) Slamming the racket on the floor Something that the sport does not appreciate but unfortunately, it does happen. Its been seen time and time again especially by players who do not take temperament as their strong point and a combination of bad decisions by the umpire, frustration and not doing so well could just see them explode and slam their racket on the floor. The impact of this is the most extreme of
Mental skill development.
Mental skill development Sport psychology Performance Profile I'm going to do my performance profile on myself. I am a junior Great Britain swimmer on the verge of breaking into the senior team. I compete mainly in the 100 and 200 metres freestyle. Even though I compete at this level I realise that I have main weakness that I need to work on to make that final push to get me in the senior team. This is my individual performance profile for the 100 and 200 metres freestyle- To be a world-class 100 and 200 metre freestyle you have to have to following characteristics. (This is a personal opinion) I * Power * Commitment * Self-motivation * Positive attitude * Good focus * Confidence * Strong * Good skills (good start, turns and finish) * Tall These aspects are needed to be a world-class performer, but some aspects are more important than others. I have now rated each aspect 1-10, 10 being the most important that I feel the swimmer will need to be the best. * To have a lot of Power-10-6 * To be Commitment-10-10 * To be Self-motivation-10-7 * To have Positive attitude-10-8 * To be Good focus-10-7 * To be Confidence-10-7 * To be Strong-10-6 * Having Good skills (good start-10-5, turns-10-5and finish-10-8) * Need to be Tall-10-8 All these aspects are for the best performers in the world and the numbers next to the other numbers are the aspects that I rate
Local and National Provision for football.
Local and National Provision for football. Introduction In this investigation I will chart the progress of a talented performer, throughout the performers career, allowing me to analyse the development of the performer from grass roots to area, county, regional and international level. I will also take into account appropriate provisions and programmed opportunities for both genders and performers with disabilities. At grass roots level the most significant contributor to the access a young performer has to sport is school and this is no different in football. 'Grass-roots' football in the United Kingdom is the responsibility of the 43 County Football Associations. These are independent bodies, which are affiliated to the Football Association, and are responsible for all aspects of the game at local level. One of the key tasks undertaken by County Football Associations is the affiliation of local competitions and leagues, registering players to clubs and the organisation of match officials and the administration of discipline. The County Football associations are now also responsible for the development at local levels, for example organising coaching, Mini-Soccer tournaments, women's' and girl's football and training programmes for referees and first-aiders. The individual county associations are then affiliated to the Football Association. It is the responsibility of
