Skill learned in one session
e.g. a rugby player who takes multiple conversion kicks until they have perfected a 100% record with 10 kicks in a row
e.g. an aspiring triple jumper who practises the hop in the morning, and the hop and skip in the afternoon, before completing the hop, skip and jump in the evening
No rest breaks
Suited to individuals with high fitness and/or ability
Skill is presented in many different situations
Can lead to boredom, demotivation and loss of focus
e.g. a powerlifter learning the technique of each component that makes up a snatch, doing so with light weights so they are able to learn the full movement in one go
Suited to simple skills
Skill is practised in different environments
Practice is repetitive, with every action identical
Skill learning can be spread out over the course of multiple sessions
Suited to open skills
Repetitive nature can improve consistency of skill performance
Suited to complex skills, as subroutines can be worked on separately
Suited to closed skills
Suited to individuals with low fitness and/or ability
Recovery breaks can mean it can be time-consuming
Most realistic to a competitive environment as environment can be manipulated by the coach
e.g. a hockey player who practises a corner on their own, before moving into a team environment and repeating it then
Can overwhelm beginners who do not have decision-making skills to focus on correct stimulus
Skill learning takes place with opportunities for rest
