Evaluating peer‐implemented video feedback to improve weight training form

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach peer-trainers to implement video feedback (Study 1) and evaluated the effectiveness of peer-implemented video feedback to increase proper deadlifting form across 3 participants (Study 2). A nonconcurrent, multiple baseline design across participants was employed to evaluate BST and peer implemented video feedback. Results demonstrate that BST was effective for teaching peertrainers to implement video feedback and video feedback led to improvement of deadlifting form across all participants.

Evaluating the effectiveness of video feedback to improve cheerleader tumbling skills

“…Results from this study, along with others (BenitezSantiago & Miltenberger, 2016; Cochrane et al., 2022; Kelley & Miltenberger, 2016), indicate that the use of immediate VF produced positive results for improving athletic performance. Although it seems likely that the immediacy of feedback is important, it is not clear whether the immediacy of feedback contributed to the outcome of the study.…”

“…In another example, Cochrane et al. (2022) evaluated the effectiveness of VF alone to improve correct weight training form with the trainee's peer conducting the procedure. Following behavioral skills training to implement the VF procedure, a peer video recorded the trainee performing the target skill and immediately showed the trainee their video while providing descriptive praise and corrective feedback.…”

The effects of video feedback on running form

“…Video feedback was shown to be successful in increasing the correct behaviors for all participants. More recently, Cochrane et al (2022) showed that peer-implemented video feedback improved weightlifting form for all three participants. The researchers first used BST to train weightlifters to subsequently train three other peer weightlifters to improve their deadlift form using a task analysis and video feedback with a movement analysis software application (i.e., HudL Technique © ).…”

“…Several behavioral interventions involving video specifically as a feedback component (opposed to an antecedent component such as video modeling) have been shown to be effective across a variety of sports (BenitezSantiago & Miltenberger, 2016;Cochrane et al, 2022;Downs et al, 2015;Kelley & Miltenberger, 2016;Snapp et al, 2023;Stokes et al, 2010). A video feedback intervention comprises two aspects: (a) the athlete and trainer review of video footage of the skill performance, and (b) the trainer supplements the video review with praise and corrective feedback to the athlete for the purposes of improving performance levels.…”

“…As a result, research is needed to evaluate video feedback as a stand-alone intervention for improving running form. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to replicate video feedback methods used by BenitezSantiago and Miltenberger (2016), Cochrane et al (2022), and Kelley and Miltenberger (2016) to evaluate video feedback for improving the running form of regular runners. The second purpose of this study was to employ the use of movement analysis software for video feedback, an emerging technological aide in the behavior analytic sport literature (Cochrane et al, 2022;Mulqueen et al, 2021;Walker et al, 2020).…”
