Summary

Focusing attention is pertinent to the performance of closed self-paced motor tasks. The following study will examine the effectiveness of internal and external focus of attention instructions on the performance of a dart throwing task under rested and fatigue (after performing intense exercise) conditions. As well as the relationship between attentional focus instructions and gaze behavior under these two conditions.

Conditions

  • Motor Learning

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Attentional focus

The participants will learn the dart throwing task according to specific instructions. Participants in all groups will be given the same technical instructions on how to throw the dart. The technical instructions will be followed by attentional focus instructions that will differ between the groups.
