Quiet eye training, a technique focused on optimizing gaze behavior during critical moments, has shown potential for enhancing motor skill acquisition. This study investigates the effects of quiet training in both virtual and real-world environments dart-throwing learning. The participants consisted 45 female students who were randomly divided into three groups: control group (age: M = 22.46 ± 2.89), 23.80 2.75), groups 24.33 2.25). sessions spanned 2 days, with each session consisting 60...
There were two aims to the present study. First, we sought investigate how a form of self-controlled practice compared well-established strategy explicitly directing mover’s attention externally when performing standing long jump. Those forms also conditions in which participants instructed focus their internally or neutrally (i.e., control condition). Second, investigated if skill level was factor comparison these training and practice). In External condition, volunteers told on jumping...
An external focus of attention and autonomy support are identified as key factors to optimize motor learning; however, research in children is limited. Moreover, has failed examine these ecologically valid learning settings, like physical education. Therefore, the present study examined effects when delivered using autonomy-supportive or controlling instructional language on children’s learning. Thirty-three novice participants (10.30 ± 0.52 years) practiced a land-based curling task under...
motor performance and learning in different ways (Beilock, Carr, Macmahon, & Starkes, 2002;Wulf, 2013).Studies on the focus of attention have sought to define instructions from two perspectives.The first perspective developed by Wulf her students studies both internal external points view (Wulf, 2013).Most conducted using such a demonstrated advantage (Saemi, Abdoli, Farsi, Sanjari, 2017).The second Beilock et al. (2002) mainly concerns effect focusing task-relevant taskirrelevant aspects...
Standing long jump is known as one of the important skills in success athletes most sports. In addition, effective factors that can affect standing distance and kinematics focus attention used by athlete. Therefore, aim present study was to compare effect internal, external, holistic instructions on performance kinematics. The participants were 30 novices (all males; mean age = 21.70 ± 2.21 years; height 175.73 6.09 cm; weight 73.76 11.77 kg) who performed 12 jumps four conditions. Internal...
The Effect of Attentional Focus on Gaze Behavior and Accuracy Dart Throwing: Task Demands Problem
PURPOSE: One of the problems among athletes, especially bodybuilders, is negative health effects Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs), so it important to identify factors that are related behavior using PEDs. The aim this study was investigate prevalence PED use bodybuilders in Iran and relationship with psychological characteristics social support group. METHODS: In a descriptive-correlational study, 274 participants aged 18-40 years old from 20 randomly selected bodybuilding clubs Semnan...
