Research on acquiring soccer dribbling skills indicates that learners with prior experience in similar invasion games progress more quickly because of:

  1. Higher levels of baseline fitness
  2. Greater tactical understanding of team sports
  3. Positive transfer of learning from similar movement patterns
  4. More effective communication with coaches

\(C\)

Show Worked Solution

Consider Option C: 

  • Research demonstrates that positive transfer of learning occurs when similar movement patterns and perceptual elements exist between previously acquired skills and new ones, allowing faster progression.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: While fitness is beneficial, research shows skill acquisition is primarily accelerated by movement pattern similarities rather than baseline fitness.
  • B is incorrect: Tactical understanding may help game play but doesn’t significantly accelerate the physical technique acquisition process.
  • D is incorrect: Coach communication quality is not directly linked to the accelerated learning that comes from positive skill transfer.

\(\Rightarrow C\)
