Enhancing the learning of sports skills through verbal feedback

Coaches should strategically provide feedback on key errors to optimize training and potentially improve competition performance. The study concludes that the effectiveness of learning the round-off back somersault on the beam is enhanced by purposeful verbal feedback. Reducing the frequency of feedback and focusing on key elements rather than addressing all errors proves more beneficial. Further research is needed to study the role of feedback directed at key elements in learning complex routine with multiple degrees of freedom among elite athletes in practical settings.

Abstract

Coaches should strategically provide feedback on key errors to optimize training and potentially improve competition performance. The study concludes that the effectiveness of learning the round-off back somersault on the beam is enhanced by purposeful verbal feedback. Reducing the frequency of feedback and focusing on key elements rather than addressing all errors proves more beneficial. Further research is needed to study the role of feedback directed at key elements in learning complex routine with multiple degrees of freedom among elite athletes in practical settings.
