Diminishing returns
dictates that performers in the early stage of learning will improve rapidly in response to practice. As performer becomes more competent & progresses to later stages of learning their rate of improvement decreases in response to the practice
Variability
refers to the amount of change and uncertainty in an environment or in the performance of a skill.
Practice distribution
The ratio between time spent actively practising and time spent resting during a practice session.
Massed practice
is a form of practice where there is longer but less frequent training sessions.
Distributed practice
is a form of practice with shorter but more frequent training sessions.
Blocked practice
Practising the same skill continuously without changing to a different task (each skill is practiced in a block) eg 50 free throws in a row.
Serial practice
Is a form of practice that involves rehearsing different skills but in a fixed and relatively predictable sequence.
random practice
Is a form of practice that involves rehearsing a number of different skills in an unpredictable sequence.
Early specialisation
is the participation in a single sport from a very young age.
Practice strategies can be adapted to include (3 things)
-amount of practice
-distribution (massed or distributed practice)
-variability (blocked or random practice)
Intrinsic feedback
is when the performer use their own senses to assess performance. This includes visual, auditory, proprioception and touch.
Augmented feedback
Is feedback provided by an external source like a coach during (concurrent) and after ( terminal) the performance.
Part practice
breaking down the skill into parts & practicing them individually.
