What is fixed practice focused on?

Fixed practice is primarily focused on the repetition of a specific skill in a consistent manner. This approach allows athletes to refine their technique, build muscle memory, and increase proficiency in that particular skill. By repeatedly practicing the whole skill within a single training session, learners can develop a deeper understanding of the mechanics involved. This form of practice is especially beneficial for mastering skills that require precision and consistency, such as in sports where technique is critical.

In contrast, practicing various skills simultaneously (one of the incorrect options) could lead to a lack of focus and hinder the development of any single skill. Randomizing practice drill types can introduce variability, which is effective for learning in certain contexts but doesn’t align with the principles of fixed practice. Incorporating feedback from peers is valuable for skill development, but it does not directly relate to the concept of fixed practice itself. Thus, the focus on repeated practice of a specific skill defines fixed practice.
