types and methods of practice

?
what is part practice
working on an isolated sub-routine with the aim of perfecting it
1 of 31
when is part practice used
it is used with skills that are low in organisation - easily broken down into separate sub-routines. if the task is complex and dangerous.
2 of 31
why is part practice used
it allows performers to make sense of a skill, gaining confidence as they learn each element. reduces the possibility of overload.
3 of 31
give a practical example of part practice.
practising the backswing only in the tennis serve
4 of 31
what is whole practice
whole practice is skills being taught without breaking down into sub-routines or parts.
5 of 31
when is whole practice used
with skills that are high in organisation and need to be taught as a whole.
6 of 31
why is whole practice used
it allows the performer to experience the feel of the skill - kinaesthesis
7 of 31
give examples of whole practice
sprinting because of their cyclic or continuous nature, will not break down into sub-routines.
8 of 31
what is whole part whole practice
practising the whole skill, then practising a sub-routine in isolation, then practising the whole skill again.
9 of 31
when is whole part whole practice used
with serial skills or skills with low organisation when sub-routines has distinct features
10 of 31
why is whole part whole used
to recognise strengths and weaknesses, then correct specific skill errors. allows some feel of skill
11 of 31
give a practical example of whole part whole practise
1) practice whole swimming stroke. 2) practice leg kick in isolation (using a float) 3) practice the whole stroke again.
12 of 31
what is progressive-part practice
skills are broken down into sub-routines; performer learns one link, then ta second link and practices these, then further links are then added on (known as chaining)
13 of 31
when is progressive-part practice used
with complex skills as it reduces information load. with low organisation skills. good for serial skills.
14 of 31
why is progressive-part practice used
helpful to allow performer to learn links between sub-routines and transfer these into the whole skill.
15 of 31
give an example for progressive-part practice.
gymnastic floor routine, triple jump, lay-up sot in basketball, trampoline routine.
16 of 31
what is massed practice.
practice sessions involves very short or no rest intervals
17 of 31
when is massed practice used
good for discrete skills of short duration. with highly motivated performers with good fitness levels.
18 of 31
why is massed practice used
to groove skills. long sessions used when coach wants to simulate elements of fatigue.
19 of 31
give practical examples of massed practice
basketball players practising their shooting skills by doing drills which involve many shots form different positions around the key
20 of 31
what is distributed practice
practice sessions with rest intervals
21 of 31
when is distributed practice used
with continuous skills. with beginners or those with low levels of fitness and motivation.
22 of 31
why is distributed practice used
rest intervals allow performer to receive feedback. helps maintain motivation and good for dangerous or complex skills.
23 of 31
give practical examples of distributed practice
swimmer swims a width and then has a rest while the teacher gives feedback.
24 of 31
what is fixed practice
a specific movement patter is practised repeatedly in a stable environment; sometimes called a drill.
25 of 31
when is fixed practice used
with closed skills that require specific movement patterns to become overlearned
26 of 31
why is fixed practice used
allow skills to become habitual and automatic. in events where conditions
27 of 31
what is varied practice
when a skill is practised in many environments
28 of 31
when is varied practice used
with open skills, practice conditions must be as realistic as possible.
29 of 31
why is varied practice used
allows the development of experiances in long-term memory, which performer can draw on. develops performer's perceptual and decision-making skills.
30 of 31
practical example of varied practice
small sided game in football, where performer can work on passing, positional play and strategy.
