Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of learning between two distributions of practice in archery and badminton classes. Each activity was divided into two groups based on the distribution of practice used. The “t” test of the significance of the difference between means was used to make comparisons between groups relative to the effectiveness of the two practice distributions of learning as measured by gain in selected criteria. The results seemed to indicate that more effective learning in archery took place under relatively massed practice while in badminton wider distribution of practice produced more rapid learning.
