Theory Work

• First homework Get a folder!!
• All your work will be done on paper and put in a
  folder so it can be organised and worksheets can
  be added easily.
• Classwork Write own in margin next to work
  that is your own ideas (e.g. Not copied from
  board)
• Homework Unless specified otherwise, it must be
  handwritten.

5
Lesson 1- Learning Outcomes

• By the end of the lesson you will
• Understand class expectations regarding
  behaviour, classwork and homework.
• Understand what fundamental motor skills are.
• Be able to give sports-related examples of
  fundamental motor skills.

6
Fundamental Motor Skills

• What are they?
• Give your own definition.
• Give examples.

7
Fundamental Motor Skills

• These skills provide the basis for other skills.
• A skill is something that
• You learn
• You can (eventually) do predictably and
  consistently.
• You can perform efficiently.

8
FUNDAMENTAL MOTOR SKILLS

• These are skills
• such as
• Running
• Throwing
• Jumping
• Kicking
• Hitting

• We learn these skills at a young age, usually
  through play and, if they are learned thoroughly,
  we can move on to the more sophisticated actions
  that are required in sport.

TASK Mind-map or list the sports that use
these skills.
9
RUNNING
º Developed during toddler years is the basis
of many types of physical activities. º Running
can be analysed through technique or the style of
the movements. º Technique is often dependent
upon sprinting or longer distance running. º
Poor running technique can lead to unnecessary
injury risks if it is not picked up early. º
Whether you run to keep fit, compete at the
Olympics or participate at any level in a ball
game you can always improve your running and
sprinting technique.
10
RUNNING

• - Often developed at a young age.
• How is it analysed?
• Time e.g. 100m sprint
• Technique or style.
• Technique is dependant on whether it is a short
  or long distance event.
• Can you think of any weaknesses that joggers/
  runners may have?

11
As with any skill, you need to be taught to run
with a good technique!!

• Weaknesses
• Bouncing up down too much
• Over striding
• Not using hamstrings enough
• Not using arms
• Landing on feet too heavily
• Jogging too slowly

• How to assess running
• This is often through timing over a variety of
  distances
• Examples of World Records
• 100m Usain Bolt 9.58seconds
• Marathon men
• H Gebrselassie 2hrs 4mins 26sec
• Marathon women
• P Radcliffe 2hrs 15mins 25secs

12
THROWING
This is essential for many physical activities,
especially those involving a ball

• Examples
• A ball from one person
• to another
• Shot Putt, Discus, Javelin
• Tennis serve

• Throwing Injuries
• Over-use injury to muscle
• tissues, especially around
• upper body, lower back
• Knees, often caused by
• Incorrect technique
• Limiting number of throws
• during training helps to avoid
• these injuries
• Correct equipment is also
• important, such as not having
• a Shot Putt that is too heavy

• Successful throwing is not
• just a matter of shear brute
• force, but more effective
• technique
• Shot Putt Tall but heavy
• Javelin - Thinner

13

• JAVELIN
• Original objective was to
• throw the javelin at a target
• Correct technique is vital to avoid injury
• Must throw over the shoulder or upper part of
  arm, leading with the elbow

• Assessment of
• Throwing
• This is done through
• measuring the distance
• of the throw

World Records Shot Putt men - 23.12m /
7.26kg Shot Putt women 22.63m / 4kg Javelin men
98.48m / 800g Javelin women 72.28m / 600g

• SHOT PUTT
• This has moved from a very basic technique to
  one that is now specific
• to each athlete
• There are many different styles of throwing used

14
KICKING

• In football this includes basic passing and
  shooting techniques.
• What weaknesses might beginners have?

15
KICKING
Correct technique accuracy are the
most important aspects of this skill!

• Kicking Skill
• The instep is good for passing the ball
• Top of foot where the laces are provide both
  power control
• Common mistake by beginners is to use the toe

• Techniques
• Basic shooting
• Basic passing
• Bending ball around a wall
• Overhead kicks
• Kicking conversions
• Kicking out of hand

16
JUMPING

• Young children start to jump up and down as soon
  as they are standing.
• This motor skill is an event in its own right.
• How is it analysed?
• What elements make a successful long jump?

17
JUMPING
A basic requirement for many physical activities
and sports.

• Basic long jump technique
• Need to get maximum
• speed as you hit the board
• Speed will give you the
• momentum needed to achieve
• good flight and a long jump
• Circle your arms to help
• force your body through the
• air
• This will help to stop any extra
• forward rotation that occurs after
• take-off
• Stretch both legs forward to land
• two feet
• Bend knees on landing lean forwards

• Analysis of jumping
• Jumping is assessed
• by either measuring the
• height of the jump or the
• distance of the jump

World Records Long jump men 8.95m Long jump
women 7.52m High jump men 2.45m High jump
women-2.09m
18
HITTING
A general motor skill that can be used in a wide
range of physical activities and sports

• Involves use of a hitting implement,
• usually racquet or bat
• This skill requires good co-ordination
• Boxing involves a great deal of technique
• over and beyond the basic hitting action

• Hitting a tennis ball
• Forehand is a motor skill being developed into a
  technique for a sport
• Effective technique keeps racquet head above
  wrist and keeping wrist firm
• Always follow through

19
Extension Task

• You must create a new game or activity that uses
  one of the fundamental motor skills.
• You must think about
• Area and equipment.
• Rules
• How will the success of the motor skill be
  analysed? E.g number of successful passes.

20
Lesson 1- Learning Outcomes

• By the end of the lesson you will
• Understand class expectations regarding
  behaviour, classwork and homework.
• Understand what fundamental motor skills are.
• Be able to give sports-related examples of
  fundamental motor skills.
