6. Skills in Sport
Discrete skills are brief, well-defined actions that have a clear beginning and end. They are single, specific skills, which make up the actions involved in a variety of sports such as hitting and throwing. Hockey. eg. a push pass, badminton service.
Serial Skills are a group of discrete skills strung together to make a new and complex movement. i.e. the sequence of skills for the triple jump. ( Hop, stride and jump ) , trampolining – a routine of linked moves, swivel hips or twisting somersaults , lay up shot in basketball.
Continuous skills have no obvious beginning or end. The end of one cycle of movements is the beginning of the next, and the skill is repeated over and over . These skills could be stopped at any moment eg Swimming, Running, or Cycling.
