Motor Coordination System (COS).
Criterion | Category systems | Description |
Motor skill | Motor locomotion (LOC). | Motor skills that allow the body to move from one point in space to another. |
Motor stability (STA). | Motor skills that allow the body to maintain balance without motor locomotion. | |
Motor manipulation (MAN). | Motor skills that allow for receiving, throwing, striking or driving/holding an object or body. | |
Combination (COM). | Combination of the above motor skills. | |
Coordination | Precision (PRE). | Correct calculation of distance and space. |
Efficiency (EFF). | The end result/motor objective is achieved. | |
Synergies (SYN). | Only the required muscular energy is expended and no unnecessary movements are made. | |
Height level of the space | Aerial (AER). | The motor skill is done in the air, without the body being supported. |
Terrestrial (TER). | The motor skill is done on the ground. | |
Location in space | Central (CEN). | The task is performed in the central area of the space where the core of the tactical action of the activity takes place. |
Peripheral (PER). | The task is performed in the distal part of the centre of the court. | |
Inactivity pause | Pause (PAU). | Moment of inactivity as a result of a voluntary stoppage, which is not related to the dynamics or operation of the activity. |
