A local community is starting a new basketball program for young children aged 7-9. The program aims to teach fundamental basketball skills and promote physical activity. The coaches are volunteers with limited experience in skill acquisition and coaching methodologies.
c. Name one type of practice distribution (massed or distributed) and briefly state why it might be more suitable for these young children learning basic basketball skills.

It falls under How are movement skills improved? in Unit 3: Movement skills and energy for physical activity, sport and exercise. Submit your answer above to receive instant AI-powered marking and personalised feedback.
This unit introduces students to principles used to analyse human movement from a biophysical perspective. Students use a variety of tools and coaching techniques to analyse movement skills and apply biomechanical and skill-acquisition principles to improve and refine movement in physical activity, sport and exercise. They use practical activities to demonstrate how correctly applying these principles can lead to improved performance outcomes. Students consider the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems and the roles of each in supplying oxygen and energy to the working muscles. They investigate the characteristics and interplay of the three energy systems for performance during physical activity, sport and exercise. Students explore the causes of fatigue and consider different strategies used to postpone fatigue and promote recovery.
In this area of study, students examine the biomechanical and skill-acquisition principles that can be applied when analysing and improving movement skills for participation and performance. Through practical activities, students explore and analyse their own movement and use coaching to investigate factors that influence skill acquisition. They develop an understanding of how appropriately applying biomechanical and skill-acquisition principles leads to the development of optimal movement patterns to enhance participation and performance.
considerations when coaching to enhance participation and performance: - sociocultural factors that affect skill development - characteristics of the three stages of learning (cognitive, associative and autonomous) - theories of skill acquisition (linear vs non-linear) applied through direct and constraint-based approaches - psychological skills (confidence, motivation, optimal arousal and concentration) and accompanying strategies - scheduling of practice including type (part and whole), distribution (massed and distributed) and variability (blocked and random) - frequency and type of feedback including intrinsic and augmented (knowledge of results and knowledge of performance)
