The Athletic Skills Model (ASM) aims to support the planning, design, and implementation of structured programmes that focus on developing versatile movers through a non-linear concentric approach.
The scientific evidence* underpinning the ASM highlights how optimal performance, development and improved health and well-being can be achieved through a holistic approach.
ASM building blocks
The ASM consists of three building blocks to develop adaptable and versatile movers:
- Basic Movement Skills: development of versatile movers.
- Coordinative Abilities: enhancing the quality of movement.
- Conditions of Movement: increasing fitness levels.
It’s an integrative approach that develops physical literacy, motor competence, coordination, and physical capacities in a unified training programme.
