Question 1

What is the main function of the intervention stage of movement analysis?&#10;A) Using key words&#10;B) Trying to bring about an improvement in performance&#10;C) Conducting a review&#10;D) None of these

Accepted Answer

The main function of the intervention stage of movement analysis is to bring about an improvement in performance by implementing strategies to address identified movement errors or inefficiencies. Using key words and conducting a review may be part of the analysis stage, but they are not the main function of the intervention stage.

Question 2

Which of the following is not part of the intervention stage of qualitative movement analysis?&#10;A) Diagnosing faults&#10;B) Implementing the intervention plan&#10;C) Conducting a review of the whole qualitative analysis process&#10;D) Providing feedback

Accepted Answer

A

Question 3

Which of the following should have been done before the intervention stage of qualitative analysis of movement?&#10;A) Obtaining relevant video footage&#10;B) Conducting needs analysis&#10;C) Preparing how feedback will be provided&#10;D) All of these

Accepted Answer

All three options should be done before the intervention stage of qualitative analysis of movement. Obtaining relevant video footage is necessary to analyze the movement, conducting needs analysis helps to identify specific areas for improvement, and preparing how feedback will be provided ensures effective communication with the athlete or individual being analyzed.

Question 4

Which of the following are also part of the Intervention stage, in addition to the provision of feedback?&#10;A) Positive reinforcement, performance modelling, guiding changes to practice&#10;B) Negative reinforcement, performance modelling, guiding changes to practice&#10;C) Psychological assessment, performance modelling, guiding changes to practice&#10;D) Positive reinforcement, performance modelling, changing coaches

Accepted Answer

Positive reinforcement, performance modelling, and guiding changes to practice are all commonly used methods during the Intervention stage of a behavior change program. Negative reinforcement is not typically used as it involves the removal of an adverse stimulus, rather than providing a reward for desirable behavior. Psychological assessment is more commonly used during the Assessment stage of a behavior change program, and changing coaches is not an intervention in itself, although it may be necessary if the current coach is not effective in facilitating behavior change.

Question 5

What is augmented feedback?&#10;A) Feedback from the performer's senses&#10;B) Feedback additional to that from the performer's senses&#10;C) Visual feedback&#10;D) Proprioceptive feedback

Accepted Answer

Augmented feedback refers to feedback that is in addition to or comes from a source other than the performer's own senses (such as from a coach or training device).

Question 6

Which of these correctly distinguishes between knowledge of results (KR) and knowledge of performance (KP)&#10;A) KR focuses on the movement process and KP focuses on the outcome&#10;B) They are identical&#10;C) KP focuses on the movement process and KR focuses on the outcome&#10;D) None of these

Accepted Answer

Knowledge of performance (KP) includes information about the movement process, such as form, technique, and execution. Knowledge of results (KR) focuses on the outcome of the movement, such as distance, time, or accuracy. Therefore, option C is correct as it correctly distinguishes between the two concepts.

Question 7

Which of the following has been used to provide augmented feedback?&#10;A) Forces on the pedals in cycling&#10;B) Video recordings of the performer&#10;C) Video recordings of good and poorer performances by the performer&#10;D) All of these

Accepted Answer

All of these options have been used to provide augmented feedback in various sports and performance domains. Forces on the pedals can be measured and displayed in real-time to provide feedback to cyclists about their technique and power output. Video recordings of the performer can be analyzed to provide feedback on specific movements or errors. Comparing the performer's video to examples of good and poor performances can also provide feedback on areas of improvement.

Question 8

Which of the following is important for successful information feedback to a coach?&#10;A) All of these&#10;B) Accurate and reliable results&#10;C) Results that relate clearly to differences between good and poorer performance&#10;D) Results give information not directly observable to a coach

Accepted Answer

All of the options listed are important for successful information feedback to a coach. Accurate and reliable results are necessary to ensure that the feedback provided is trustworthy and can be acted upon. Results that relate clearly to differences between good and poorer performance are necessary to provide actionable recommendations for improvement. Results that give information not directly observable to a coach can provide insights into an athlete's mental and emotional state, which can have a significant impact on performance.

Question 9

On which underlying 'model' of propulsion generation would correct feedback of stoke technique information in front-crawl swimming be based?&#10;A) The hands behave as paddles&#10;B) The hands behave as hydrofoils in an outward-inward-outward sculling pattern&#10;C) The hands behave as hydrofoils but the roll of the swimmer's body generates much of the observed sidewards movement&#10;D) The legs generate most propulsive force

Accepted Answer

Option C suggests that the hands behave as hydrofoils, but the swimmer's body roll generates much of the observed sidewards movement. This is based on the concept of utilizing the body's rotational movement to increase propulsion. Therefore, correct feedback of stroke technique information in front-crawl swimming would be based on this underlying model. Options A and B are not relevant as they are based on different concepts of propulsion generation, and Option D is incorrect as it suggests that legs generate most propulsive force, which is not true in front-crawl swimming.

Question 10

From a sports performance viewpoint, which of these is most true about desiarable improvements resulting from the provision of augmented feedback?&#10;A) The improvement occurs early during provision of feedback&#10;B) The improvement occurs late in the provision of feedback&#10;C) Improvement is retained after feedback has stopped being provided&#10;D) None of these

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that desirable improvements resulting from augmented feedback are most likely to be retained after feedback has stopped being provided, indicating that the athlete has internalized the feedback and made lasting changes to their performance. The timing of when the improvement occurs during feedback provision varies depending on the individual and the type of feedback being provided, so options A and B are not universally true.

Question 11

Which of the following provided the best results in the retention phase of learning in the study reported in Schmidt (1991)?&#10;A) Immediate feedback&#10;B) Summary feedback&#10;C) Both immediate and summary feedback&#10;D) There were no differences between the three forms of feedback
