Types Of Practice/ Presenting P/guidence Flashcards
What are the advantages of whole practice
- gives a feel for the whole action
- creates mental images of the whole routine/ developing motor programmes
What are the disadvantages of whole practice
- place unnecessary demand on the performer/fatigue
- doesn’t allow the development of new/weaker skills as the whole routine is being attempted
What are the advantages of whole part whole practice
- can provide motivation when success if achieved
- provides immediate feedback
What are the disadvantages of whole part whole practice
- may cause a negative transfer effect
- more time consuming
What are the advantages of progressive part practice
Performers are allowed to focus on one specific part
Performers can test so fatigue is reduced
What are the disadvantages of progressive part practice
- time consuming
- might neglect the feel for the whole motion
- danger of negative transfer as if one skill is incorrectly learned, it will affect the rest of the routine
Describe mass practice
Continuous training with no rest intervals
- mostly used when skill is discrete, simple and closed
What are the advantages of massed practice
Promotes fitness
- makes skill almost automatic
- images stored in motor programme
What are the disadvantages of massed practice
- can cause fatigue
- damaged of negative transfer
What are the advantages of varied practice
- allows the performers to adapt their skills to changing environments
- prevents tedium, fun to train when drills are varied
What are the disadvantages of varied practice
- time consuming
- placed unnecessary demands on the player/ fatigue
What are the advantages of distributed practice
- takes pressure of the performer
- effective for cognitive learners, allows for controlled progress
- can use mental practice during rest intervals
What are the disadvantages of distributed practice
- time consuming
- if fast progress is required in a short amount of time, distributed practice should not be used
-
What are the advantages of mental practice
- improved confidence and lowers anxiety
- stimulates muscle receptors
- develops cognitive ability
What are the disadvantages of mental practice
- could place pressure on the performer if a skill is constantly thought about
What are the advantages of manual guidance
- helps to eliminate danger
- helps to build the confidence of the performer
- fear and anxiety relieved
What are the disadvantages of manual guidance
- if oversteer, it can have a detrimental effect, preventing the development of further skills and their overall ability to perform
- lose the feel for the whole action
- performer becomes dependent on support
What are the advantages of visual guidance
- can be used to project to the performer a specific weakness
- created a mental images of the skill/ developing motor programmes
- also used in connection with verbal guidance
What are the disadvantages of visual guidance
- demonstrations must be completely accurate otherwise performers may learn skills incorrectly
-
What are the advantages of verbal guidance
- can provide tactical guidance during competition
- ability to go into detail when need ton explain a complex skill
What are the disadvantages of verbal guidance
- too much information can confuse the performer, putting to much demand on the athlete
- could lose concentration if the explanation is not brief
What are the advantages of mechanical guidance
- eliminates danger
- it gives an early, supported feel for the whole skill
- can be used with disable athletes
What are the disadvantages of mechanical guidance
- if overused, it can prevent the development of the skill/ losing feel for the whole motion
- performers become dependent on equipment
- loss of motivation if skill cannot be performed independently
