Paul Petrone. Research has found there are three basic categories of skills in the world: knowledges, transferable skills and self-management skills.

An example of a simple skill is sprinting. The skill has many sub-routines (or parts) to it and requires a lot of feedback during its performance. An example of a complex skill is a tennis serve. Most skills are not totally simple or complex but range between the two.

Sports Skill Classifications

• These classifications are based on three factors:
• Because some sports have dynamic skills which may overlap, it is difficult to place them within definitive categories.
• Gross & fine skills continuum.
• Gross skill example – Shot put throw.
• Open & closed skills continuum.
• Open skill example – In-play hockey.

These skills are usually closed skills. i.e. javelin throw, discus. These skills involve reaction and are usually open skills. i.e. in ball games, the performer must time his actions with the actions of other players and the ball.

Open skills are skills affected by the environment. They occur when performers have to make decisions and adapt their skills to a changing or unpredictable environment. The performer is not in control of what will happen next. An example would be making a pass in Ultimate Frisbee.

The reason for this is that tennis is classified as an open-skill sport by motor learning researchers — a sport in which players must constantly adapt their movements to an ever-changing situation on the court. In closed-skill sports, performing the movement correctly is how athletes gather points and win medals.

Open skill examples: A dribble or ball carry in Football, Basketball or Rugby. Closed skill examples: A free kick or penalty in football, a free throw in basketball, a serve in tennis.

Discrete skills are those that have a clear beginning and end, for example, taking a penalty kick at soccer.

Running is a closed skill (if someone is chasing you down a rocky slope, yup open skill). For the most part running takes place is a stable, predictable environment, you know what you need to do and when you need to do it. Running is a pattern.

Running is a skill, so treat it that way! It is actually one of the most complex natural movements that we learn as children. Running upright is also one of the things that defines us as humans. Growing up, we pass through what are called developmental motor milestones in specific stages.

The skill is repeated continuously unbroken with the beginning and end of the skill being determined by the performer, opposed to the skill itself. Continuous skills tend to be learnt the fastest due to their repetitive nature. Examples of continuous skills include swimming, jogging, skipping and walking.

Is typing a serial motor skill? Typing a word on a keyboard is an example of a serial motor skill. Shooting a free throw in basketball is an example of an open motor skill.
