How to practice effectively about everything possible!


 




Everything is possible














       Mastering any physical skill,ne it performing a pirouette playing an instrument and throwing baseball takes practice. practice is the repetition of an action with the goal of improvement and it helps us perform with more ease speed and confidence. so what does practice do in our brain's to make us better at things? 


Our brain's have two kinds of neural tissue: grey matter and white matter. 

           the grey matter processes information in the brain, directing signals and sensory stimuli to nerve cells while white matter is mostly made up of fatty tissue and nerve fibers. In order for our bodies to move information needs to travel from the brain's grey matter down the spinal cord through a chain of nerve fibres called axons to our muscles. 

So how does practice and repetition affect the inner workings of our brain's ? 

       The axons that exist in the white matter are wrapped with a fatty substance called myelin and it's this myelin covering and sheath that seems to change with practice. myelin is similar and insulation on electrical cables. it prevents energy loss from electrical signals that the brain uses, moving them more efficiently along neural pathways. some recent studies in mice suggest that the repetition of a physical motion increases the layers of myelin sheath that insulates the axons and the more layers the greater the insulation around the axon chains forming a sort of superhighway for information connecting your brain to your muscles. so while many athletes and performer's attribute their successes to muscle memory muscles themselves don't really have memory. rather, it may be the myelination of neural pathways that gives these athletes and performer's their edge with faster and more efficient neural pathways. there are many theories that attempt to quantify the number of hours days and even years of practice that it takes to master a skill. while we don't yet have a magic number we do know that mastery isn't simply about the amount of hours of practice. it's also the quality and effectiveness of the practice. effective practice is consistent, intensely focused and targets content and weaknesses that lie at the edge of one's current abilities. so if effective practice is the key ! 

 how can we get the most out of our practice time? 

Try these tips: focus on the task at hand. minimize potential distraction's by turning off the computer and T.V. and putting your call phone on airplane mode. In one study, researchers observed 100 student's studying. on average those students were able to stay on task for only five minutes at a time. laptop, smartphone, were the root of most distraction's. start out slowly and in slow motion. coordination is built with repetition's whether correct and incorrect. If you gradually increase the speed of the quality repetition's

       you have a better chance of doing them correctly. Next, frequent repetition's with allotted breaks are common practice habits of elite performers. studies have shown that mamy top athlete's musician's and dancers spend 50 to 60 hours per week on activities related to their craft. many divide their time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice session's of limited duration and finally practice in your brain in vivid detail. it's bit surprising but a number of studies suggest that once a physical motion has been established it can be reinforced just by imagining it. In one study 200 basketball players were divided into two groups. Group A : physically practiced one handed free throws while Group B: only mentally practiced them. when they were tested at the end of the for week experiment the intermediate and experienced players in both groups had improved by nearly the same amount. As scientist's get closer to unraveling the secrets of our brains our understanding of effective practice will only improve. In the meantime effective practice is the best way we have of pushing our individual limits achieving new heights and maximizing our potential. 


Thank you......

Bermuda triangle | scientists mystery solved |

Bermuda triangle :    We don't know which way is West. over the past 50 years 3000 ships and 100 planes have gone missing in a mysterious stretch of water in the atlantic ocean.     Ships have gone missing planes have gone missing knows as the devil's triangle a source of intrigue legend and fear this is the Bermuda triangle.      Bermuda triangle:     The Bermuda triangle is said to be a very mysterious part of the ocean. there more than 100 aircraft and ships have disappeared. the were never found again this area lies between Florida in the usa, Puerto Rico and the country Bermuda in the north. it makes a triangular area like this. overall this area spans more than 500,000 square miles. tales of the Bermuda triangle are older than 500 years.         In 1492, when christopher Columbus set out to find the new world he reported that when he was passing by this area his compass stopped working and one night when he...

It's time for the world to end | 5 planets destroy |

  Have you ever wondered how will our world end?  If famous physicist stephen Hawking is to be believed he made some weird predictions about the future. He said that he was worried that someday ai artificial intelligence will completely replace humans. a form of life will evolve that would outperform humans. this perhaps would be the worst thing for humanity he also warned about climate change soon global warming would reach a point of no reversal but if artificial intelligence and climate change cannot end the world according to stephen Hawking in the next 1000 years we will definitely witness some nuclear confrontation and an environmental catastrophe. He said that if human want to avoid extinction over the next 100 years we would need to colonise some other planets....

Egyptian pyramids terrifying truth shocked scientists | pyramind mystery solved |

The  great Pyramid of Giza :     white a hight of 147 meters this remained the tallest structure in the world for over 4000 years. heavy stones were used to build the pyramid and its is said to weigh 6 million tonnes. the question that people dumbstruck how was it built? How was this made possible:      It is estimated that the great Pyramid of Giza was built in the year 2560 Before Christ by the pharaoh khufu. the monarchs of ancient Egypt are known as pharaohs we don't know much about pharaoh khufu except that he was the second monarch of the fourth dynasty of the old kingdom of Egypt. the pyramid is located on the west bank of the river Nile there are said to be a total of 118 pyramid of varying shapes and sizes. many of them have been eroded by the weathering very few are in good condition the most well preserved are great Pyramid of Giza.  What was the reason for building these :      They were built as a tomb. the pharaohs are b...
