types of method of practice Flashcards
what is part practice ?
working on an isolated sub routine with the aim of perfecting it
when is part practice used ?
- with skills that are low in organisation easily broken down into sub routines
- if the skill is complex and dangerous
why is part practice used ?
- allows performers to make sense of a skill
- gain confidence as they learn each element
- reduces the possibility of overload
what is a practical example of part practice?
e.g practising the backswing only in the tennis serve
what is whole practice ?
when the skills being taught without breaking down into sub routines
when is whole practice used ?
- with skills that are high in organisation and need to be taught as a whole
why is whole practice used ?
- allows the performer to experience the feel of the skill - kinesthesis
what is a practical example of whole practice ?
- sprinting because of their cyclic and continuous nature so it cant be broken down into sub routines
what is whole part whole practice ?
is practising the whole skill then practicing a sub routine in isolation then practising the whole skills again
when is whole part whole practice used ?
with serial skills or skills with low organisation when sub routine have distinct features
why is whole part whole practice used ?
- top recognise strength’s and weaknesses then correct specific skill errors
- allows kinesthesis feel of the skill
what is a practical example of whole part whole practice ?
- practice whole swimming stroke
- practices leg kick in isolation suing a float
- practice whole stroke again
what is progressive part practice ?
when skills are broken down into sub routines then the performer learns one link then a second link and practises these then further links are then added on knows as chaining
when is progressive part practice used?
-with complex skills as it reduces information load
- with low organisation skills
food for serial skills
why is progressive part practice used ?
its helpful to allow performer to learn links between sub routines and transfer these into the whole skill
what is a practical example of progressive part practice?
lay up shot in basketball or gymnastic floor routine
what is massed practice ?
a practice session involves very short or no rest intervals
when is massed practice used?
- good for discrete skills of short duration with highly
- motivates performers with good fitness levels
why is massed practice used?
- to groove skills
- long sessions used when coach wants to stimulate elements of fatigue
what is a practical example of massed practice?
basketball players practice their shooting skills by doing drills which involve many shots from different position around the ‘key’
what is distributed practice?
practice sessions with rest intervals included
when is distributed practice used>
- with continuous skills
- with beginners or those with low levels of fitness and motivation
why is distributed practice used?
- rest intervals allow performer to receive feedback
- helps maintain motivation and good for dangerous or complex skills
what is a practical example of distributed practice ?
swimmer swims a width and then has a rest while the teacher gives them feedback
what is fixed practice?
a specific movement pattern is practised repeatedly in a stable environment
when is fixed practice used?
with closed skills that require specific movement to become overlearned
why is fixed practice used?
- allow skills to become habitual and automatic
- in events where conditions never change
what is a practical example of fixed practice?
discus thrower practises in the discus circle using the same weight implement
what is varied practice?
when a skill is practised in many environments
when is varied practice used ?
- with open skills
- practice conditions must be as realistic as possible
why is varied practice used ?
- allows the development of experiences in long term memory which performer can draw on
- develops performers perceptual and decision making
what is a practical example of varied practice?
small sided game in football where performer can work on passing, positional play and strategy
