Lesson 2

• Break a forward roll down into as many subroutines as possible...

Break a forward roll down into as many subroutines as possible...
• Stand feet together and hands above head.
• Bend knees.
• Place hands flat on the ground.
• Tuck head in.
• Push off from feet.
• Roll on your back keeping feet together and a tucked position.
• Reach forward to stand upright.
• Raise hands above head to finish.

• We will perform an apparatus routine, containing our strongest skills, with control and fluency.
• Before we put together our routine what will we have to do?

• How to describe how we gathered general data on our performance.
• How to breakdown a skill.
• How to describe a skill.
• What a subroutine is.

How did we gather general data on our performance?
• We gathered general data by completing a skills checklist.
• Our partner watched us perform various flight, balancing, rotational and inversion skills.
• We performed each skill 5 times.
• After our 5 th attempt our partner ticked whether we showed: limited control and fluency, sometimes showed control and fluency, showed good control and fluency, consistently showed a high degree of control and fluency.

Why was the data gathering method appropriate?
• The checklist identified our strengths and weaknesses.
• Completing an observation schedule gives us a permanent record we can look back upon after practising.
• Performing each skill 5 times means we got an accurate picture of our ability.

Why do we want to break a skill down?
• One way of analysing a skill is to break it down into smaller parts.
• By doing this it allows you to see which parts of the skill are being performed correctly and which parts need more practice.

• All skills can be broken down into 3 main areas
• PREPARATION
• ACTION
• RECOVERY
• A good way to remember these areas is the acronym PAR.

Describe a forward roll using
Preparation, Action, Recovery.
• PREPARATION –
• Feet together, hands above head
• Bend knees
• Tuck head in
• ACTION –
• Take weight on hands
• Curve back
• Keep legs together
• RECOVERY –
• Open body out
• Finish standing still

Now watch the video clips and use PAR to describe the skills in detail.

• Subroutines are the small parts (movements) that make up a skill.

• What 3 areas have you used to break down skills?
• Use these areas to breakdown a gymnastic skill of your choice.
• What are subroutines?
• Int 1- Describe how you collected general data on your performance. (3)
• Int 2- Describe one method you used to collect data about your whole performance. (4)
