when the performer is elite older longer attention span very fit when the skill is simple low organised closed not dangerous
distributed practice
breaks in the session providing rest, fewer reps so more skills can be practised

when is distributed practice used
when the performer is a beginner young not very fit when the skill is complex high organisation open dangerous
fixed practice

when is fixed practise used
when the sport is made of closed skills
so the situation doesn’t change likewise to the performance situation
variable practise
