Which term describes skills with no obvious start or finish?

• A. Discrete
• B. Continuous
• C. Organisation
• D. Muscular Involvement

Answer: (B)

Skills that flow without a clear beginning or end are called continuous. They run in a steady, ongoing way, like running, cycling, or swimming, where there isn’t a distinct moment you start and a separate moment you finish. Instead, the action continues for as long as you keep going, requiring rhythm, pacing, and stamina to sustain it. This contrasts with discrete skills, which have a definite start and finish, such as throwing or kicking. Organisation and muscular involvement describe different aspects of skills—how skills are arranged or linked, and how many muscles are used—rather than their continuity.
