4. Link to other Cores/Options
• Analysing, measuring and thinking critically learned
techniques that will transgress to HSC cores.
• Reaction time Timing and Rhythm (Prelim Opt.2) 
Skill Acquisition (HSC Core 2.)  Improved Performance
• After measuring and analysing skill related components,
students can examine how skill acquisition
affects performance 
• Relates to HSC Option 4: Improving Performance.
Students will be able to explain how movement skill
is acquired and appraised.
