Cognitive skills, perceptual skills and psychomotor skills
Developing these movement patterns is essential for
successful performance in both self and externally paced
sports environments. The general act of throwing is thought
to be classed as a MOTOR PROGRAMME. This is a basic
set of instructions stored in our long term memory that aid
the execution of throwing. The basketball set shot has
specialist and different movement patterns compared to that
of other throwing activities. Anna outlines in the table above
that her set shot performance has several specific motor
programmes that complete the overall movement pattern,
such as ‘snapping’ the wrist. With considerable practice
these programme can become so well learned that it near
automatic. This makes them known as ‘sub routines’ of the
overall motor programme of shooting a set shot.
