Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is feedback in sport?

    Model answer

    Feedback is information a performer receives about their performance. Feedback helps the performer know what to keep doing and what to change.

  2. 2

    What is intrinsic feedback?

    Model answer

    Intrinsic feedback comes from within the performer, through the feel of the movement. A basketball player can feel whether a shot was released well.

  3. 3

    What is extrinsic feedback?

    Model answer

    Extrinsic feedback comes from an outside source, such as a coach, teammate or video. A coach telling a sprinter their start was slow is extrinsic feedback.

  4. 4

    Why do experienced performers rely more on intrinsic feedback?

    Model answer

    Experienced performers know what a good movement feels like. Experienced performers can correct themselves without being told.

  5. 5

    Why do beginners need extrinsic feedback?

    Model answer

    Beginners do not yet know what a correct movement feels like. Beginners need someone else to tell them what went right or wrong.

  6. 6

    What is knowledge of performance?

    Model answer

    Knowledge of performance is feedback about the quality of the technique. A coach explaining that a runner's arms were crossing their body is an example.
