Variability of Practice and Strength Training Periodization: When Theories Collide
<p>The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether variability of practice enhances neuromuscular adaptations when compared to traditional strength training. The secondary purpose was to investigate whether there was a difference in perception of exertion between the two strength programs. …

The Effects of Variability of Practice on The Learning of a Motor Task
The focus of this research was directed toward an examination of the processes involved in the development of control of the force of muscular contractions, and the test of specific hypotheses concerning the kinds of experiences that facilitate the force-control learning process. The purpose of the …

A test of the variability of practice hypothes: the acquisition of a gross motor skill
The sport of golf presents the constant challenge of a novel movement problem with every succeeding shot. A novel movement, in this instance, being a new and different movement experience (Schmidt, 1975). The purpose of this study was to test the Variability of Practice Hypothesis (Schmidt, 1975) …

The effects of variable practice and subjective estimation on error-detection capabilities
… may best be achieved through specific + variable practice along with error estimation. Inconsistent support for the variability of practice hypothesis warrants a cross-testing of this hypothesis. Estimation had been used and found beneficial on ballistic closed motor skills, but what about …

The Effects of Constant and Variable Practice on Performing a Gross Motor Skill
… present researcher compared and contrasted the variability of practice hypothesis (variable practice) with the specificity of learning hypothesis (constant practice) for this study. The variability of practice hypothesis specified that a person's subsequent ability to complete a novel motor task …
