The diagram shows the order of three sport skills on a continuum, representing both the precision and size of muscular movement involved in the skill.

Which skills are represented by \(X\), \(Y\) and \(Z\)?

\begin{align*}
\begin{array}{c}
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex} \ \rule[-1ex]{0pt}{0pt}& \\
\rule{0pt}{2.5ex}\textbf{A.}\\

\(A\)

Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct: Basketball free-throw being the most precise/fine, pedalling intermediate, and block start acceleration the most gross motor movement.

Other Options:

  • B, C and D all incorrect: All ordered incorrectly on the fine-gross continuum.

♦♦♦ Mean mark 33%.
