Paper 2
A learned action or behaviour intended to achieve a particular result.
Revise: Classification of skillsA skill is a learned action intended to achieve a particular result, such as passing a ball to a teammate. Classifying skills means grouping them according to their characteristics. This helps us explain what makes different movements demanding: one might require complicated co-ordination, while another requires constant adjustment to opponents.
For ability, include all three ideas: inherited, stable traits and potential to learn or acquire a skill.
For skill, identify a learned action that achieves a predetermined result with maximum certainty and minimum time and energy.
Do not use skill and ability interchangeably: an ability supports learning, but it is not the learned sporting action itself.
