A skill associated with muscle activity. Skills performed in sport form a continuum from fine to gross motor skills. Some sports scientists object to the prefix ‘motor’ being used on its own because it implies the skill is largely a motor reflex. They prefer to use terms, such as perceptual motor skill, psychomotor skill, or sensorimotor skill because such terms emphasize the mental components of movement skills. A skilled movement can be defined as a product of four different elements: force, velocity, accuracy, and purposefulness. In a skilful performance, all four elements must be performed at the same time in exactly the right combination and amount.

  -> Mulţumesc pt. comentariu, dar v-as sugera sa cititi cu atentie definitiile in engleza si in romana. Motility are mai multe sensuri, iar in lipsa unui context mai amplu, raman la parerea mea. Nu am absolut nici un indiciu ca ar fi vorba de "motor skills".
