4.2 types and methods of practice

Question 1

part method

Answer 1

used on low organisation skills and can be split up into sub routines

Question 2

fractionisation

Answer 2

splitting up into subroutines

Question 3

part method adv

Answer 3

if it is complex allows to understand the skill better
also gives confidence
also useful for dangerous skills

Question 4

part method dav

Answer 4

lack of fluency
boring or repetitive loose motivation

Question 5

the whole method

Answer 5

the skill is taught without breaking it down at all into sub - routines

Question 6

the whole method adv

Answer 6

realistic feel / true feel
get a kinaesthetic sense for it

Question 7

motor program -

Answer 7

series of movements stored in long term memory

Question 8

whole part whole practice

Answer 8

attempts the whole skill then breaks it down into subroutines and practicing then put them together as a whole again

Question 9

whole part whole ADV

Answer 9

allows coaches to recognise the performers strengths and weaknesses

Question 10

whole part whole DAV

Answer 10

not good for beginners as may be overwhelming to perform the whole skill at once

Question 11

progressive part method (segmentation)
(chaining)

Answer 11

learn one link at a time broken down into sub routines (chains) one is learned then practices together then so on

Question 12

progressive part ADV

Answer 12

helps the performer to understand the relationships between the subroutines

Question 13

progressive part DAV

Answer 13

time consuming
may not have fluency

Question 14

massed practice

Answer 14

continuous very short or no rest intervals

Question 15

distributed practice

Answer 15

split up with relatively long rests between

Question 16

fixed practice

Answer 16

involves a fixed stable and predictable environment practice conditions remain unchanged

Question 17

fixed practice ADV

Answer 17

for closed skills
habitual movements build up motor programme

Question 18

varied practice

Answer 18

varied changing practice not every situation is the same

Question 19

varied practice adv

Answer 19

allows the performer to experience a range of situations storing the experiences in the long term

Question 20

gross fine skills practice

Answer 20

gross practice would involve the building up of strength
fine skills - repetition and mental rehearsal concentrations

Question 21

open closed skills practice

Answer 21

open - needs to variety of situations
closed - fixed repetitive builds up automation

Question 22

discrete serial continuous

Answer 22

discrete - taught as a whole
serial - break down into subroutines
continuous - as a whole for the kinaesthetic feel

Question 23

kinaesthetic sense

Answer 23

know what to do without looking thinking (automation)

Question 24

self paced externally paced

Answer 24

self paced - fixed practices
externally paced - skill developments more varied practice

Question 25

simple complex skills

Answer 25

complex - easier to learn when broken down into subroutines simple - repetitive and fixed

Question 26

high organisation low organisation

Answer 26

high organised - like cycling needs to practiced as a whole low organised - practiced in subroutines
