Correct Response: D. In a repetitive skill, the actions that constitute the movement pattern are used in a continuous cycle throughout the activity: one complete cycle of the skill leads directly into the next. In the crawl stroke, the movements of the arms and legs that end one stroke cycle become a recovery that initiates the next stroke cycle. The medium or context in which a skill is performed (A) and (B) is not a factor in determining its repetitive or cyclical nature. Swimming strokes and kicking movements require bilateral rather than unilateral coordination (C), with both sides of the body working either symmetrically or reciprocally.
