Analyse a physical skill performed by self or others
Study with Coach
Save your actual school result to count your credits.
You need to take a discrete physical skill (like a basketball shot, golf swing, or swimming stroke) and break it down into parts using biomechanical principles to explain how it works. You then use that analysis to give feedback or suggestions to help the performer improve. This can be your own performance or someone else's.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Break down the skill into smaller component parts and describe each one clearly
- ·Explain how those parts work using biomechanical principles (like force, balance, momentum, levers, or centre of mass) and relate them to anatomy
- ·Provide feedback or feed-forward to the performer based on your analysis, with clear suggestions for how they could improve
- ·Show how the different biomechanical principles connect to each other and work together to create better performance (for Merit level)
- ·Identify which parts of the skill have the biggest impact on whether the performer succeeds or fails (for Excellence level)
You break the skill into parts, explain them using biomechanical principles, and give basic feedback on how to improve.
You explain in depth how the different biomechanical principles work together and relate to each other to improve the skill, then use that fuller understanding to give more detailed feedback.
