Outline two environmental constraints that can enhance a person’s learning of a new skill.
physical factors such as:
gravity, altitude, light, floor space, noise, surface:
e.g. reduce space available to perform skill to improve decision making
OR
practice under floodlights when training for a night-time match ✔
social constraints such as:
peer pressure, social or cultural expectations:
e.g. stereo playing to get used to crowd noise ✔
Using examples, explain how a coach may apply a constraints-led approach to improve player motivation.
environment:
e.g. a coach may make the playing field wider but shorter to make it easier to score / encouraging regular success ✔
individual / athlete:
e.g. reduce the number of players in a team to keep all involved ✔
task:
e.g. they may make the ball being used in volleyball softer so that players are encouraged to pass the ball correctly ✔
Award per constraint.
Identify possible performance indicators in a frequency table for a sport of your choice.
e.g. basketball:
numbers of penalties ✔
numbers of shots taken from inside the key ✔
successful shots from inside the key ✔
shots taken outside 3 point zone ✔
successful shots from 3 point zone ✔
free throw percentage success ✔
rebounds ✔
assists ✔
