Describe Part practice
Practicing by splitting a skill into sub-routines
Describe Whole practice
Practicing by completing the skill in its entirety
Describe Whole-Part-Whole practice
Practicing the skill in its entirety, then breaking it down into sub-routines and focusing on a section, then practicing the skill in its entirety again
Describe Progressive part practice
Practicing a skill in stages by linking and chaining subroutines together

Practicing a skill repeatedly but incorporating breaks/rest periods
Part practice evaluation
Support in gaining a greater understanding of a skill
Can’t experience true kinaesthetic feel
Can’t understand true timing and fluency
Describe Varied practice
Practicing in a changing environment where the conditions change
Describe Fixed practice
Practicing in a stable environment where the conditions remain unchanged
whole practice evaluation
Experience true kinaesthetic feel
Skill can be learned quicker
Some skills too dangerous to do as whole
Some skills too complex to do as whole
Progressive part practice evaluation
To incrementally learn skills by chaining supports learning
Can’t experience true kinaesthetic feel
Can’t understand true timing and fluency
whole-part-whole practice evaluation
To identify weaknesses to work on and develop that sub-routine
Massed practice evaluation
To groove skills and support motor programmes
To ensure skills are well learnt
Could cause fatigue
Distributed practice evaluation
To prevent fatigue
To enable feedback to occur
Varied practice evaluation
Experience range of situations applicable to matches
Can overwhelm beginners
