Document Summary
A common task in sport and activities of daily living are throwing and pushing of objects. The overall performance objective can be either. Accompanying accuracy can also be maximizing speed or spin, such as in tennis forehand. As we have covered in an earlier lecture, a combination of motions at several joints is called a movement. These movement patterns are applied to a range of tasks and the timing of the joints, ranges of motion of the joints, trajectories of the segments can differ between people. When the movement pattern is employed for a well defined activity or for a sport then we refer to it as a skill. The performance and outcome of a skill is more easily quantified than a movement pattern. I. e. kicking a field goal (skill) is harder to do than to just kick a football (movement pattern)
