Youth may be particularly responsive to motor learning training strategies that support injury-
resistant movement mechanics in youth for prevention programs that reduce injury risk …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common traumatic knee injuries causing joint
instability, quadriceps muscle weakness and impaired motor coordination. The …

This study examined the training effect of attentional focus (external focus, internal focus, or
no focus instructions) on a dynamic balance task. Participants completed baseline balance …

Directing attention to an external focus has been shown to facilitate motor performance. For
expert performers, however, results have been mixed. Additionally, little is currently known …

Evidence has ostensibly been accumulating over the past two decades suggesting that an
external focus on the intended movement effect (eg, on the golf club during a swing) is …

Objective The purpose of this study was to explain the internal mechanism of attention focus
affecting performance of countermovement jump based on muscle synergy theory. Methods …

This study examined the test–retest reliability of the standing long jump (SLJ) and the
countermovement jump (CMJ) following consistent and non-consistent attentional focus …

The success in football required to skilled control the ball. Juggling is a fundamental skill that
improves leg-eye coordination. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of …

This chapter contributes to the science of sport pedagogy—the learning of sport/motor skills—
by presenting an overview of the recent skill acquisition literature that has the most bearing …

The objectives of this thesis were to 1) explore the effects of postural threat on sample
entropy, a measure interpreted to reflect the attentional investment in postural control, and to …
