We study the balance in dynamical support of 384 galaxies with stellarkinematics out to >1.5R_e in the Sydney AAO Multi-object Integral Field (SAMI)Galaxy Survey. We present radial dynamical profiles of the local rotationdominance parameter, V/sigma, and local spin, lambda_loc. Although there is abroad range in amplitude, most kinematic profiles monotonically increase acrossthe probed radial range. We do not find many galaxies with kinematictransitions such as those expected between the inner in-situ and outer accretedstars within the radial range probed. We compare the V/sigma gradient andmaximum values to the visual morphologies of the galaxies to better understandthe link between visual and kinematic morphologies. We find that the radialdistribution of dynamical support in galaxies is linked to their visualmorphology. Late-type systems have higher rotational support at all radii andsteeper V/sigma gradients compared to early-type galaxies. We perform a searchfor embedded discs, which are rotationally supported discy structures embeddedwithin large scale slowly or non-rotating structures. Visual inspection of thekinematics reveals at most three galaxies (out of 384) harbouring embeddeddiscs. This is more than an order of magnitude fewer than the observed fractionin some local studies. Our tests suggest that this tension can be attributed todifferences in the sample selection, spatial sampling and beam smearing due toseeing.
