Practice and feedback Flashcards
what is part practice?
Part practice is a training method where a skill is broken down into smaller components, allowing the performer to practice each part separately before combining them (e.g., practicing the toss in a tennis serve before the full serve).
what is whole practice?
Whole practice is a training method where a skill is practiced in its entirety, rather than broken into parts, to develop fluency and coordination (e.g., performing a full tennis serve instead of isolating the toss or swing).
what is massed practice?
Massed practice is a training method where the athlete practices a skill for long, continuous periods with little to no rest between sessions (e.g., repeating free throws in basketball without taking breaks).
what is intrinsic feedback?
Intrinsic feedback comes from the athlete’s own sensory systems, including:
Touch – Feeling the correct grip on a tennis racket during a serve.
Sound – Hearing the ball hit the sweet spot of a bat during a baseball swing.
Vision – Seeing the ball travel to the target after a successful throw.
Proprioception – Feeling the correct body position when executing a perfect dive.
what is agumented feedback?
Augmented feedback is external information provided to the athlete about their performance, often from a coach or technology (e.g., verbal feedback from a coach, video analysis, or a heart rate monitor).
what is knowledge of results?
Knowledge of results is a type of augmented feedback that provides the athlete with information about the outcome of their performance, such as whether a shot was successful or whether they achieved a target time.
what is knowledge of performance?
Knowledge of performance is a type of augmented feedback that provides the athlete with information about the quality of their movement or technique during performance, rather than the outcome (e.g., a coach telling a swimmer to improve their arm technique).
what is distributed practice?
Distributed practice is a training method where practice sessions are spread out with rest intervals, allowing for better skill retention and reduced fatigue (e.g., practicing volleyball serves in short, spaced-out sessions instead of one long session).
