Good summary of four types of body natural talents


'Movement efficiency may involve 
gross motor skills (using larger muscles, such as running) or fine motor skills (such a keyboarding). Hand-eye coordination is required for skills such as catching a ball. Precision describes the accuracy of movement."

This separates out four different aspects of body coordination.


One question I have been thinking about is the meaning of fine motor and gross motor, I see different definitions online. For example, one definition of fine motor movements says they are those movements which use "small muscles" like in the fingers and hands etc. However, another site Medline says fine motor means "small, exact movements." So is fine motor specifically about small muscles or small movements? Could you make small, exact movements with large muscles? That's my question.
