Skill in human movement terms is defined as?

1. The innate ability to perform a task

2. The learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results

3. Performing tasks without thinking

4. A talent one is born with

The correct answer is: The learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results

A skill in human movement refers to the learned ability to perform a task with predictable or expected outcomes. This means that skills can be taught and developed through practice and experience, rather than being an innate ability or talent that one is born with. Option A, a person's inherent ability to perform a task, is more commonly known as "talent" and is not the same as a skill. Option C, performing tasks without thinking, is a more general concept and does not encompass the specific idea of achieving predetermined results. Option D implies that skills cannot be learned or developed, which is not true. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and complete definition of skill in human movement terms.
