Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: Coaches need to be aware that while fitness can be addressed in skill-learning situations, it’s important not to fatigue players unduly as concentration and interest will suffer.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: High-intensity fitness with complex skills may compromise technique quality and learning effectiveness.
  • B is incorrect: While sport-specificity is important, managing fatigue levels takes priority for skill learning.
  • D is incorrect: The type of conditioning should match training goals, not prioritise one fitness component over others.
