The Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) aims to foster learning productively under optimal cognitive loads. Students across all ages and stages of learning have limited capacity due to the human brain's functionality. Therefore, an effective learning design allows for knowledge acquisition that will minimize the loading effect on the working memory and foster the transition of knowledge to unlimited long-term memory. This article introduces the Cognitive Load Theory effects within Kinesiology instructional settings. In specific, the authors share examples of three cognitive load effects: (a) goal-free effect, (b) split attention effect, and (c) redundancy effect; and its implementations within the strength and conditioning for educators' course in higher education settings.
