Term

Skill

Definition
the quality of physical activity experience that underlies the performance of motor skills
Term

Practice

Definition
(a) a type of physical activity experience that involves cognitive processing and leads to improvement in skill (learning); (b) repeating a task, often with an instructor’s guidance or feedback, to promote learning
Term

Learning
