Pacing

Pacing is the process of managing the flow of information or activity to maintain an appropriate and steady rhythm, ensuring not to overwhelm or under-engage the audience or participants. In communication, pacing involves delivering content at a rate that allows comprehension and retention, adjusting speed to match the complexity of the material. In activities like training or therapy, it refers to carefully controlling the timing and intensity to promote progress without causing fatigue or resistance. Effective pacing helps create a balanced experience, facilitating understanding, engagement, and sustained progress.
