Explaining how to do the skill would be the qualitative analysis used for biomechanics. It is important for the athlete to be able to explain how the skill is important or why it is used in the sport that they are in. They should learn how each of the process works and the reason why the athlete does the movement or skill. If someone were to ask them the reasoning behind the skill, a qualitative response would be appropriate. Quantitate is the number of times in the skill. By practicing the skill in a receptive manner, the skill becomes second nature and they can do the skill without thinking too hard on it. Having both qualitative and quantitative analysis over the skill, will allow the athlete to have an understanding of why they do the skill …show more content…
Step Two: Note Any Special Characteristics of the Skill Determine if the skill is repetitive or non-repetitive. When you are coaching a non-repetitive skill in a sequence, it is better to teach it separately. Also put into consideration of how form will impact the participant over long periods of time if it is a skill that is repetitive. Opened vs. closed: Open is an unpredictable environment and closed has a very predictable environment. When teaching an opened skill, start with a closed environment and progress to open. Step Three: Study Top-Flight Performances of the Skill Slo-mo is best to teach athletes so that they could learn what to do correctly and what not to do correctly. Step Four: Divide the Skill Into Phases 1. Preparatory phase (setup) and mental set: mental process when getting ready 2. Windup or backswing: Stretch the athletes muscles so that they could establish a position to where they can apply force over an optimal distance or frame. 3. Force producing movements: The force has to be applied in the correct amount and must go through the correct sequence. 4. Follow-through or recovery: Safely dissipates or decelerates the force-producing action and must be properly
