1.Prior ExperienceHaving prior experience in a particular type of skill or movement decreases the difficulty of learning the new skill for the learner. Having this prior experience can not only make the task easier, but speed up the learning process as a whole. This is because the learner can associate the knowledge already acquired with learning the new skill, which puts less stress on the learner and their body. An example of this is: A child has just started gymnastics and is learning the new skill called a "Running Pass-Hop". This skill involves running and moving towards a jump like jumping and landing. If a child has already practiced simple skipping, the learner will be able to pick up the motion of skipping much more quickly. Confidence Confidence is a feeling of self-confidence arising from the appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities. Having a reasonable level of self-confidence and confidence will increase the pace of learning and increase achievement. Although part of gaining confidence is learning and correctly performing a complex skill. This then moves on to nurturing the learner's self-esteem and sense of accomplishment, and then providing motivation for future skill development. - An example of this is: A teenage gymnast at the associative learning stage who has flexibility issues. in the past and worked to perform the splits on his right leg and achieved his goal. By acquiring this skill, the learner can then have the confidence to learn how to do the splits (straddle), because they have now gained the confidence and removed their fear of failure. Heredity Heredity refers to genetic characteristics that have been inherited. from ...... middle of paper ...... the aerobic system is not tired but only stressed. As floor gymnastics routines last on average 30 minutes, it is important for the athlete to have increased aerobic endurance in order to reduce the risk of injury and increase the quality of performance. Anaerobic Training - Strength TrainingStrength is the capacity of a muscle or muscle group. releasing force against a resistance of calculated loads, thereby building muscle strength. For gymnastics, the main benefits of strength training are: overall health benefits building strength developing power increasing balance skills (core strength) reducing risk of injury . A gymnast must be able to maintain optimal balance for many gymnastics skills (such as routines involving the balance beam and floor). routines) involve moving frequently from one position to another and therefore do not have automatic stability.
