Types Of Feedback

Feedback helps to improve performance, correct errors in technique and motivate performers. For it to be effective it must be accurate, understandable and given in a timely manner.

Concurrent feedback Intrinsic feedback Extrinsic feedback Terminal feedback

This form is continuous and comes from within the performer and how the movement feels to them. Used by experienced performers - skill is well learnt so they can make their own amendments.

Comes from outside sources such as coaches, teammates, parents. Important as someone watching skill can observe and explain what needs to be done to correct. Less experienced - unlikely to detect errors.

Given during the game/performance. It can be intrinsic or extrinsic

Given after the performance. Sometimes due to nature of sport, feedback cannot be given during the performance. Effective if given right after completion of skill.

Because they understand how the movement feels from feedback from muscles. It it’s important so they spot their own errors and are not dependent on others.

Provide information about the skill being performed, help improve skill, reinforce good practice

Not be too long as you can only process a small amount of information, be given as soon as possible, be relevant to the performer
