Chapter 18 - Perparing For Your Exams 

<ul>
	<li>Abilities: The innate traits we are born with, perceptual and motor attributes inherited from our parents that enable us to perform skills. These traits give us the capacity to perform skills.</li>
	<li>Skills: Defined by their purpose, goal, or objective, requiring practice to master.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Perceptual-motor abilities: Enable individuals to process information about how and when to move. Example: A tennis player requires perceptual abilities like multi-limb coordination and response orientation for a successful forehand groundstroke.</li>
	<li>Motor abilities: Related to the actual movement.</li>
	<li>Example: A 100-meter sprinter requires motor abilities like explosive strength and speed of limb movement.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Muscular endurance</li>
	<li>Strength</li>
	<li>Flexibility</li>
	<li>Coordination</li>
	<li>Balance</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Those with strong abilities that underpin a specific skill or activity may appear competent with relative ease.</li>
	<li>However, becoming truly skillful requires practice.</li>
	<li>Ability alone does not guarantee success; factors such as previous movement experiences, growth, body configuration, and personal motivation all contribute to successful performance.</li>
	<li>Natural ability may go unrealized if one lacks the above qualities or fails to invest in practice time.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Using factor analysis, Fleishman identified various abilities.</li>
	<li>He subdivided abilities into two categories:</li>
	<li>a. Physical proficiency abilities: These are the abilities that you&#39;d expect to find in exercise physiology, like strength and endurance.</li>
	<li>b. Perceptual-motor abilities: Less obvious abilities that involve a combination of how we perceive our environment and how we act within it.</li>
</ul>

Note: The list of abilities identified by Fleishman, including physical proficiency and perceptual-motor abilities, will be covered in further detail later in this chapter.

&nbsp;

Real-world examples

<ul>
	<li>Perceptual-motor ability: Consider a basketball player shooting a free throw. The player must use their perception to gauge the distance and angle to the basket, then use motor control to execute the shot.</li>
	<li>Motor ability: A weightlifter requires immense muscular strength and explosive power to lift heavy weights in competitions.</li>
</ul>

Remember, practice and dedication, combined with your innate abilities, can lead to success in any skill or sport!

Happy Studying! And remember, practice is key!
