  2. Gross motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_motor_skill

    Gross motor skills are involved in movement and coordination of the arms, legs, and other large body parts and movements. Gross motor skills can be further divided into two subgroups of locomotor skills and object control skills. Gross locomotor skills would include running, jumping, sliding, and swimming. Object control skills would include ...

  3. Motor skill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_skill

    Motor skills are movements and actions of the muscles. There are two major groups of motor skills: Gross motor skills [2] – require the use of large muscle groups in our legs, torso, and arms to perform tasks such as: walking, balancing, and crawling. The skill required is not extensive and therefore are usually associated with continuous tasks.

  4. Category:Motor skills - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Motor_skills

    The goal of motor skill is to optimize the ability to perform the skill at the rate of success, precision, and to reduce the energy consumption required for performance. Continuous practice of a specific motor skill will result in a greatly improved performance, but not all movements are motor skills.

  5. Psychomotor learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychomotor_learning

    Psychomotor learning is the relationship between cognitive functions and physical movement.Psychomotor learning is demonstrated by physical skills such as movement, coordination, manipulation, dexterity, grace, strength, speed—actions which demonstrate the fine or gross motor skills, such as use of precision instruments or tools, and walking.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_movement

    Sports-specific movements, such as a tennis swing or bowling a cricket ball, are based on sports-specific situations. While there is some cross-over application from sports-specific movements (such as running), they are usually so specific that they supersede functional movements in complexity. Yet both sports and functional movements are ...
