Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of the module, the student should be able to:
1. Analyse the role of neural mechanisms in the preparation and execution of motor skills.
2. Differentiate between stages of motor learning, explaining key features and transitions between stages.
3. Design targeted learning activities that enhance motor skills, incorporating motor learning theories and principles of practice design.
4. Design appropriate strategies to correct observed errors in motor skills by evaluating the cause of the error.
