Gross and Fine Continuum

We know:

Gross - involve large muscle movements and are not very precise.

Fine - involve small muscle movements and high levels of coordination.

Continuum - is a scale line between two extreme points.

So to put these together, we have a continuum between gross and fine skills. This is how skills are judged based on the amount of muscle movement and skill required to perform them.

Example 1

Placing weight lifting, javelin throwing, netball passes, golf shots and snooker/pool shots in a gross and fine continuum would be as follows:

Example 2

Bowling a cricket ball requires different amounts of gross and fine skills on a continuum. The skills are judged based on the amount of muscle movement and skill required to perform them.

For example, see here how the actions of a cricket bowler are placed along the gross and fine continuum.
