Document Summary
Dynamic systems theory contends that skill acquisition is best achieve through modi cation of constraints, forcing learners to engage in a continuous search for task solutions. Variable practice: training schedule that involves changing task multiple times. To maximize potential bene ts, practitioner must consider how and when to implement variability in practice session. Gentile believes in rst assessing the nature of the skill and the environment of where it will be performed , following that the practitioner should introduce variations in regulatory, non-regulatory and both conditions. Movement concepts: used in elementary physical education to create movement variations by describing how skills are performed. You must not overwhelm the learner but rather help facilitate learning. Once learned basic movement pattern, variable practice strategies should be introduced. Contextual interference: results from switching from one skill to another or changing the context in which a task is practiced from trial to trial. Positive learning strategy shown to facilitate skill acquisition.
