Guidance

Guidance Methods -

VV-MM

Visual - demonstrations to help create mental image of the skill
Must be accurate - Focus on the key aspects - Cue - Repeat the demo
Advantages
Easy to see the demo and create a mental image
Good for cognitive learners
Key part to observational learning
Disadvantages
Performer has to be capable of replicating the demo (Law of Readiness)
Demo may be to quick or unclear

Verbal - describing the action - often used in conjunction with visual
Effective for associative and autonomous

Advantages
Good in the use of extrinsic feedback
Hold the attention of the performer
Can motivate the performer
Disadvantages
Can lead to information overload - especially in cognitive stage
Instructions could be inaccurate and unclear.

Manual - Physically moving the performer into the correct position
Mechanical - Supporting the performer using some equipment.
Provide  kinesthesis by supporting - especially dangerous skills

Advantages
Sense of safety for performer
Can isolate performances to concentrate on a  specific subroutine (Part) (Whole-part-whole)
Disadvantages
Can give false kinesthesis
over restrictive
not true flow of the skill

Cognitive Theory of Learning

3 P's                                                                 and a                                        Wii...........


















Problem Solving                                                                                       Whole
Perception                                                                                         Insight Learning
Past Experiences                                                                            Intervening Variables


PS - trial and error                                                                          W - Best learnt as a whole
P - Making sense and interpreting environment                           IL - Understanding based on 3P
PE - Using previous experience to form a response                    IV - Mental processes to help PS

Shrovetide Football



Day 4 Make March Memorable

Had to post this today!!! Happy pancake day.

Ethnic sport in the UK.

Sedentary Lifestyles

Day 3 Make March Memorable

Possible reasons for Sedentary lifestyles?

Office/Desk jobs

More time at work

Labour saving gadgets

Use of the car!

Parents dont exercise/role models

Children dont play outside

More TV/Sport on TV

Drive Reduction Theory

Day 2 Make March Memorable

Drive Reduction Theory.......

1. Need to Learn          (want to learn a tennis serve)
2. Drive to satisfy need (practice a serve)
3. Need is mastered      ( can serve)

If still learning the serve......

Drive Reduction occurs - bordem/loss of motivation.

SO......

A new skill (need) is introduced to regain motivation.

How does this affect BAHL?

Give up BAHL
Give up because bored
Give up because reached target weight or fitness

Mix of muscle fibre types

Day 28 Face February Fighting

How does the mix of muscle fibre types determine the success of the performer?



A mix of fibres good for aerobic and anaerobic events.  Team games.



Slow twitch (slow oxidative) - endurance activties, marathon










Fast Twich (fast oxidative) - anaerobic/explosive events, 100m

USA - economic system

Day 27 Face February Fighting

USA

Economic system?

CAPITALISM!!!!
(making money!)



How does it influence sport?

Win at all costs mentality - Lombardianism

Sport is a media product - so needs to be exciting/High scoring.

If capitalism is about making money so sport must be profit making, players have chance for American Dream of rags to riches.

Teams are run as businesses as franchises.

Components of a balanced healthy lifestyle

Inverted U Theory

Day 25 Face February Fighting


* As arousal increases so does performance.......
   up to
* an optimum point (Zone of Optimal Arousal)....
   then
* over arousal will lead to a decrease in performance.

The graph is modified because of these variables....

* Fine skills performed more effectively at low arousal (Archery shot) and Gross skills high arousal (Weightlifting)

*Cognitive stage - lower arousal better for optimum
  Autonomous stage - higher arousal better for optimum

* Introverts prefer lower arousal for optimum performance, extroverts higher arousal for optimum.

Examples

Under aroused - Rugby player half heartedly tackles
Optimum - Tackle is solid with good technique
Over aroused - Tackle is out of control, high tackle - give away a penalty

WAT - walking whilst on SSR.  1.8km.  Laps around the school!!!!

Traditional Amateur Approach to sport in UK

Day 23 Face February Fighting

Traditional Apporach - amateur (l'amour)

Taking part more important than winning - for the love of the game.

Old system was disorganised and lack of communication.  Also ineffective

SO........it had to change into a more modern approach!!!

Modern Approach - winning/competitive/professional

Results driven basis!!!

NGB's need to modernise to get results and therefore keep their funding from UK sport.

Got to raise standards and compete on the world stage

WAT - none today, foot hurts from hockey ball yesterday in the defeat #watsonisawimp

Ways to improve joint stability.....

Day 21 Face February Fighting

How can joint stability be improved?

Think about the parts of a joint first......
Then think bigger/stronger/thicker.


Muscle
They get bigger - hypertophy.  Plus more fibres.

Ligaments
They get stronger & more elastic

Tendons
Tendons become stronger

Cartilage
Increase thickness of articular/hyaline cartilage

Which practice methods to use????

Day 19 Face February Fighting

How do coaches choose which practice methods are most effective in given situations?




1. The classification of the skill
2. The skill level of the performer
    or which stage of learning they are at.
3. The motivation of the performer
4. What resources are available to the coach
5. The situation the performance is in.

WAT - DIY still,  bathroom now!  Sport tomorrow.
