before putting it all together again

Methods of Practice

There are four main methods of practice that you need to know for physical education:

• GRADUAL BUILD UP

• WHOLE PART WHOLE

• PASSIVE/ACTIVE PRACTICES

• REPETIITIVE PRACTICES

Gradual Build Up

Gradual build up is a useful practice method for learning complex skills. You learn the skill bit by bit. You build the skill up in stages. Often used when the skill is too difficult or dangerous to try.

Gradual build up is a useful practice method as it allows you to:

Make practices more demanding in small steps Develop confidence Make practices challenging but achievable Gear practices to your stage of learning

Gradual Build Up - individual

An example for using the gradual build up method for an individual activity is the flight dive.Diving1. Seated dive2. Kneeling dive3. Crouched dive4. Full dive

Gradual Build Up - team

Gradual build up practice method can also be used in team activities.

E.g. Stage 1: In indoor hockey you are working on attack. 4 v 1. The object of the practice is to get past the defender.

You must describe how you would gradually build up this practice to make it more challenging.
