Key Terminology

 

  • Continuum: A range or sequence of elements arranged in order, often representing different levels or degrees.

 

  • Difficulty Continuum: Represents the spectrum from simple to complex skills.

 

  • Simple Skill: A skill that is easy to perform without much thought processing or cognition.

 

  • Complex Skill: A skill that requires a lot of thought processing, information processing, and careful execution.

 

  • Environmental Influence Continuum: Represents the spectrum from open to closed skills based on the stability of the environment.

 

  • Open Skill: Takes place in a constantly changing environment, requiring performers to process information during the skill.

 

  • Closed Skill: Takes place in a stable and predictable environment that remains constant during the skill.

 

  • Pacing Continuum: Represents the spectrum from self-paced to externally paced skills.

 

  • Self-paced Skill: Carried out by the performer when they are ready, and the performer controls when to start and the rate of execution.

 

  • Externally Paced Skill: The performer does not have control over when to start the skill, and the pace is determined externally.

 

  • Muscular Involvement Continuum: Represents the spectrum from gross to fine skills based on the involvement of muscle groups.

 

  • Gross Skill: Involves large muscle groups and includes explosive, ballistic movements.

 

  • Fine Skill: Involves intricate movements focused on precision and accuracy and uses small muscle groups.

 

  • Continuity Continuum: Represents the spectrum from discrete to continuous skills.

 

  • Discrete Skill: Has a clear beginning and end, with individual actions or movements.

 

  • Continuous Skill: Has no clear beginning or end and is characterised by a smooth and ongoing flow.

 

  • Serial Skill: Involves a series of discrete skills combined together to form a larger, sequential skill.

 

  • Organisation Continuum: Represents the spectrum from high to low organisation skills.

 

  • High Organisation Skill: Difficult to break down into subroutines due to complexity and interdependence of components.

 

  • Low Organisation Skill: Easy to break down into subroutines because of simplicity and independence of components.
