The Effect of Contextual Interference on Learning Technical Skills, in Young High-and Low-Skill Footballers
Summary:
The purpose of the present research was to examine the contextual interference effect (blocked and random practice) on learning of three technical soccer skills (dribble, pass and shoot), in relation to two skill levels (young footballers at high and low skill level). Forty eight young footballers (M = 10.65, ± 1.06 years) with training aged from 3 to 6 years (M = 3.77, ± 0.99 years) were separated with a pre-test ( Mor & Christian, 1979) (phase pre-test) in two skill levels (low and high) and then were randomly assigned in one of the four, equally numbered (N = 12), experimental groups of practice (low-skill blocked or random practice and high-skill blocked or random practice ). At the practice phase, the participants performed (with blocked or random practice schedule and with knowledge of result and performance) 150 trials (30 trials per day) in each skill for 5 consecutive days. The participants received an immediate (one-hour rest) and a delayed transfer (one-week after) test that was identical to the pre-test phase.
The results supported partially the research assumptions. 2 x 2 x 3 (skill level x practice schedule x measures) mixed ANOVAs with repeated measures on the last factor for all dependent variables indicated that: (a) high-skill players were significant better than low-skill players both at practice phase and at the phase of transfer, (b) at practice phase and on the skill of dribble, the blocked practice improved performance of low-skill players, while on the skills of pass and shoot, regardless of skill level, all participants improved their performance significantly as compared to random practice, (c) at the phase of transfer, all the players improved significantly for all three skills, regardless of the skill level and practice schedule.
It becomes evident that, at practice phase and on the skill of dribble, blocked practice is more favourable for low-skill players. Moreover, for the skills of pass and shoot, regardless of skill level, blocked practice is more effective than random practice. However, no differences were evident on transfer phase, for blocked and random practice for high- and low- skill participants at the three technical football skills. The aforementioned findings are discussion according to the predictions of the contextual interference hypothesis.
