The organisational continuum in sport
Skills can be classified according to whether they can be broken down into smaller parts to make the skill easier to practice.
Low organisation - some skills are made up of numerous different parts or sub-routines. A long jump different phases, the run up, the take off, flight through the air and landing. Each component is a move in its own right but when linked together forms the routine. Therefore the components can be separated and practised on their own. When a performance can be separated into its sub-routines it is referred to as being low organisation.
High organisation - the action of cycling is sequential. The cyclist performs each part of the cycling action in ne go and it is very difficult to separate the different parts of this motion. Therefore a cycling is typically practised as a whole because it has high organisational skills.
