Motor learning and skill adaptation requires challenge ro thrive.
Repetition with the purpose of perfecting specific motor patterns leads to less learning and usually crumbles when representative pressure is added.
As a general rule a success rate between 65-80% is to aim for to make sure that students are challenged enough to learn to adapt to realistic pressure.
Individualise by skill level. Beginners may thrive nearer 80 % success early on; experts often need 55-65 % to be truly stretched because their error tolerance is higher.
Adjusting constraints and scaling practice should be done to fit the group.
• Errors < 15 % → information poor practice, minimal adaptation.
• Errors > 40 % → perceptual motor couplings break down, frustration rises.
• Errors 25–35 % → richest information, manageable uncertainty, maximal neuroplastic gain.
