NPN would be a good source for your questions, though I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to ask.
btw, unless they spell it differently in Scotland, it's spelled, "aperture".
The Nature Photography 101 series of articles here at NPN contain valuable info for you.
In my experience capturing movement requires a creative decision whether to freeze the motion completely or to allow a bit of blur to suggest or give the impression of motion, whichever best suits your needs and creative vision. This involves tradeoffs/relationships between shutter speed, aperture, lens length, subject speed and distance, as well as camera movement. How you mix and match those factors determines the results.
