Contextual interference did not significantly impact golf skill acquisition in novice golfers. Both low and high interference practice groups showed similar learning outcomes for foundational golf skills.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Motor Learning
  • Skill Acquisition

Background:

  • Contextual interference is a theory suggesting varied practice enhances motor skill learning.
  • Understanding its effect in naturalistic settings is crucial for effective sports coaching.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the contextual interference effect on learning foundational golf skills.
  • To compare skill acquisition between novice golfers practicing under low and high contextual interference.

Main Methods:

  • Two groups of 18 novice undergraduate golfers were studied.
  • Participants practiced four golf skills under either low or high contextual interference conditions.
  • An independent samples t test was used for statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences were found between the low and high contextual interference groups.
  • Both practice conditions yielded comparable results in learning foundational golf skills.

Conclusions:

  • Contextual interference may not be a critical factor for learning basic golf skills in this setting.
  • Further research is recommended to explore variables influencing skill acquisition in golf.
