PHED-2206EL Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Overtraining
Document Summary
Research has shown that improvement is not just a bi-product of practice. Expert performers differ from their less successful counterparts in one major area more time spent engaging in deliberate practice. The monotonic benefits assumption the amount of time an athlete engages in deliberate practice is directly related to the current performance level. Research has shown that highest levels of performance with highest amounts of weekly practice. Once deliberate practice has commenced, it is impossible to attribute performance level to. The theory focuses on early interest and encouragement in the sport.
