Progressive part practice - first subroutine of skill is practised until perfected, then the rest are added in a sequence until the whole skill can be performed.

Front (Question)

What level of performer would benefit from whole practise?

Back (Answer)

Autonomous

#4
Front (Question)

Identify advantages and disadvantages of an athlete partaking in whole practise

Back (Answer)

+ Development of fluent action + Realistic + Develop good habits + Create clear mental image + Kinaesthesis is developed + Easily transferred into a full game • Not suitable for cognitive performers • Information overload • Fatigue • Physical capability of producing full skill

#5
Front (Question)

What level of performer would benefit from whole part whole practise?

Back (Answer)

When a performer is cognitive and integrating individual parts. An autonomous performer could benefit from this practise as it allows the individual to concentrate on specific weaknesses. - High organisation

#6
Front (Question)

Identify advantages and disadvantages of an athlete partaking in whole part whole practise

Back (Answer)

+ Kinaesthesis is maintained + Weak sections can be focused on and improved + Fluency + Confidence • Kinaesthesis can be negatively effected if subroutines are not integrated adequately • Time consuming • Not suitable for highly organised skill

#7
Front (Question)

What level of performer would benefit from progressive part/chaining practise?

Back (Answer)

A cognitive performer

#8
Front (Question)

Identify advantages and disadvantages of an athlete partaking in progressive part practise

Back (Answer)

+ Reduces chance of info overload + Avoids fatigue + Aids understanding of each part + Confidence and motivation + Danger is reduced • Very time consuming • Not suitable for highly organised skills • Fluency is negatively affected • Kinaesthesis only experienced at the end

#9
Front (Question)

Give an example of when Progressive part practise may be beneficial?

Back (Answer)

Front (Question)
