1
Q
describe massed practise
A
- practise is repetitive & continuous
- no rest intervals
- e.g. free throw in basketball
2
Q
benefits of massed practise
A
- good for autonomous phase
- helps groove / over learn skills
- good for discrete skills
3
Q
disadvantages of massed practise
A
- exhausting & boring
- errors increase cas of repetitive nature
- lead to injuries
4
Q
describe distributed practise
A
- practise in short bursts

5
Q

- good at cognitive stage
- time for rest, mental rehearsal and feedback
- good for complex, continuous skills
6

- good for open skills
9

A
- too many stimuli may cause overload
- confusing for cognitive leaners
- not effective in grooving skills
10
Q
describe fixed practise
A
- stays the same
- env. doesn’t change
- practise repeated in the same env.
e.g. javaline throw
11
