practice

Question 1

massed practice

Answer 1

repetitive and continuous

eg set shots basket ball

good for discrete skills/simple/autonomous stage

can be exhausting/mental fatigue/errors increase

Question 2

distributed practice

Answer 2

short bursts

eg swimming or sprinting

good for continuous skills/complex skills/cognitive stage

rest may disjoint practice/hard to regain intensity/demotivating

Question 3

varied practice

Answer 3

changes regularly/ different environment/situation

eg hockey passes in different situations

ideal for open skills/autonomous/helps motivation

basic skills must be pre-learned/too many stimuli/confusing

Question 4

fixed practice

Answer 4

stays the same

eg javelin throw

ideal for closed skills/cognitive/perfect skill

boring/no prep for game/drive reduction

Question 5

part practice

Answer 5

skill broken into sub-routines , practiced separately , put back together

good for closed skills/low organisation/cognitive/raise confidence

not good for high organisation/limits awareness/demotivating

Question 6

whole practice

Answer 6

not broken into sub-routines, learned holistically

good for high organisation/continuous/simple/saves time/mental picture

unsuitable for complex/difficult for low abilities/too fast

Question 7

progressive - part practice

Answer 7

subroutines practiced and gradually build to whole skill
a-b-ab-c-abc-d-abcd

good for low organisation/serial/complex/quicker than part/kinesthesis developed

unsuitable for high organisation/similar to part/limited awareness of whole skill

Question 8

whole - part - whole practice

Answer 8

skill practiced as whole, in parts, whole

good for low organisation/serial/complex/open

unsuitable for high organisation/low ability/lots of information
