practice hours
Dedicated drill sessions
Practice hours are time specifically allocated to developing a skill through repetition and focused effort.
Musicians log practice hours on their instruments; athletes track practice hours in the gym.
The term often appears in contexts requiring documented skill-building: Medical residents must complete a minimum number of practice hours before certification.
Practice hours may be self-directed or supervised, but the emphasis is always on deliberate improvement rather than mere time spent.
