Which type of skills should one NOT gather data on during a group activity or game?

• A. Communication ability with team
• B. Number of push-ups completed
• C. All of these are correct
• D. Sport-specific skills learned and applied

Answer: (B)

When evaluating a group activity, focus data collection on outcomes that reflect teamwork and game understanding rather than isolated physical counts. Data on how well teammates communicate and coordinate shows how effectively the group collaborates and operates within the game, while data on sport-specific skills learned and applied reveals growth in applying those skills in a game context. Measuring the number of push-ups completed is an individual fitness metric that doesn’t indicate how the group functions or how skills are executed within the game, and it can distract from the learning goals of the activity. That’s why the push-up count is the type you wouldn’t gather data on during a group activity.
