Sample Answer

  1. The difference between closed skills and open skills.
  2. Closed skills are performed in stable, predictable environments where the performer determines when to begin execution and can plan movements in advance, such as a free throw in basketbal.
  3. Open skills are performed in changing, unpredictable environments where the performer must adapt to external factors and timing is often externally paced, such as returning a serve in volleyball.
  4. Research questions – other questions are possible
  5. What specific progressions of environmental variability most effectively develop adaptability while maintaining technique consistency in volleyball skills?
  6. How does the timing of introducing defensive pressure affect skill transfer from practice to game situations for different volleyball techniques?
  7. What practice design approaches most effectively develop the perceptual skills needed for successful open skill execution in volleyball?
  8. How do different approaches to integrating decision-making with technique practice affect skill transfer to game situations across different learning stages?
