PSE 4U BIOMECHANICS PORTFOLIO ASSIGNMENT
analyze and assess a sport skill
Method: Using video analysis, the group will tape
a “rookie” and an “expert” performing a specific skill
from any area of expertise that the group feels they have.
Initially, you will be observing both subjects performing
the selected skill. Use the Five Phases of Skill to breakdown and analyze the skill.
With reference to the Biomechanical Principles, discuss
which principles apply to the skill you’ve chosen. Analyze the “rookie” and go through the feedback you
feel is necessary to make your “rookie” into more of an “expert”.
Your video footage should include observations from four
different perspectives (as you observed on the NCCP video).
Your portfolio assignment must be submitted in its entirety
on video. There is no written submission is required. Please, therefore, introduce all members on tape.
Conclusions: Make a concluding remark to sum up
Reminders and Tips:
K.I.S. Keep it Simple – present only one component/skill
of the sport
Your group may have a maximum of 4 group members.
Length of the Presentation – long enough to cover
all information you feel is necessary
Evaluation – 100 marks (See the back of this sheet
