Study Notes
Skill Acquisition and Practice Sequencing
- Training one limb can improve the other limb's skill acquisition rate.
- The optimal sequence of practice for this transfer remains debated.
- Some researchers suggest that practicing the preferred limb first maximizes benefits.
- This approach capitalizes on early success, aligning with the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning, emphasizing motivational factors.
Bilateral Transfer and Injury
- Bilateral transfer (transferring skill from one limb to another) can be helpful when one limb is injured.
- Practicing the uninjured limb can aid the injured limb's rehabilitation.
- Unilateral strength training in the non-injured limb may improve the injured limb's recovery.
- Studies are ongoing to identify the optimal training parameters (duration, frequency, intensity, rest, and type) for maximizing this transfer.
