the aim of this study was to compare the effects of random and blocked practices with respect to the changes in generalized motor program (gmp) and parameter on acquisition, retention and transfer of table tennis service. for this purpose, 32 subjects were randomly assigned to four groups (8 subjects each group). in the first two groups, gmp changed with blocked and random arrangements while in...

today physical researchers and teachers consider exercise as a key element to improve motor skills; it is also evident that changeability in practice for retention and performance skills is both proper and effective. the main idea of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of random and blocked practice methods on retention and performance ability of 12-year-old learners’ passing skills in...

this research was performed to monitor the effects of different practice schedules on learning and transfer of generalized motor program and timing parameter in a serial task. for this purpose, 80 participants (age: 19-23 years) voluntarily participated in this research and then they were divided randomly into 4 groups: blocked, random, blocked-random and random-blocked. this test included perf...
