“…Similarly, feedback that is provided after the end of the movement can also influence motor performance in the long run (Moran, Murphy, & Marshall, 2012). Similar observations were recently made with respect to drop jump performance (Keller, Lauber, Gehring, Leukel, & Taube, 2014). The authors found immediate effects of AF on jump height before and after a training period.…”

“…Therefore, the effects of AF can hardly be explained by solely drawing attention to the effects of the movement (EF). More reasonably, one may argue in line with Keller et al (2014) that providing AF could also have motivated participants to perform the jumps with higher intensity. This argument is in line with the energisation theory of Brehm and Self (1989), which states that task engagement rises in relation to task difficulty.…”

Factors such as an external focus of attention (EF) and augmented feedback (AF) have been shown to improve performance. However, the efficacy of providing AF to enhance motor performance has never been compared with the effects of an EF or an internal focus of attention (IF). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify which of the three conditions (AF, EF or IF) leads to the highest performance in a countermovement jump (CMJ). Nineteen volunteers performed 12 series of 8 maximum CMJs. Changes in jump height between conditions and within the series were analysed. Jump heights differed between conditions (P < 0.001), resulting in best performance with AF (32.04 ± 7.11 cm), followed by EF (31.21 ± 6.67 cm) and IF (30.77 ± 6.87 cm). Significantly different (P < 0.001) within-series effects of higher jump heights at the end of the series in AF (+1.60%) and lower jump heights at the end of the series in EF (−1.79%) and IF (−1.68%) were observed. Muscle activity did not differ between conditions. The differences between conditions and within the series provide evidence that AF leads to higher performance and better progression within one series than EF and IF. Consequently, AF seems to outperform EF and IF when maximising jump height.

“…However, when they were given KR their service performance increased following training. Keller et al (2014) reported that the greatest long-term drop jump height increase was achieved when participants were provided with 100% of augmented feedback, compared to 50% and 0%. They also found a significant within-session effect of augmented feedback, meaning that providing augmented feedback increased drop jump height immediately as well as long-term.…”

“…Augmented feedback is not only effective when applied in the long term, that is, during several weeks of training (18,23,24), but it can also result in immediate (or short-term) performance gains (7,12). With respect to jumping, it has recently been demonstrated that 4 wk of plyometric training with aF about the achieved jump height (KR) led the participants to better performances than training without feedback (15). Furthermore, the more frequent the aF was provided, the more the participants increased their jump height.…”

“…Thus, aF can be regarded as a powerful tool to increase motor performance in the short term. The mechanism underlying these immediate performance gains was speculated to rely predominantly on motivational factors (15,24) as adaptations occurred instantly as soon as aF was provided and withdrawn, respectively, leaving no time for a learning process. Augmented feedback might enhance motivation by encouraging participants to outplay their foregoing or maximal performance.…”

PurposeDifferent approaches like providing augmented feedback (aF), applying an external focus of attention (EF), or rewarding participants with money (RE) have been shown to instantly enhance motor performance. So far, these approaches have been tested either in separate studies or directly against each other. However, there is no study that combined aF, EF, and/or RE to test whether this provokes additional benefits. The aim of the present study was therefore to identify the most powerful combination.MethodsEighteen participants performed maximal countermovement jumps in six different conditions: neutral (NE), aF, RE, aF + EF, aF + RE, and aF + EF + RE.ResultsParticipants demonstrated the highest jump heights with aF + EF, followed by aF + EF + RE, aF + RE, aF, RE, and finally, NE. Activity of the M. rectus femoris differed significantly between conditions resulting in lower muscular activity in aF + EF and aF + EF + RE compared with NE. All other parameters, such as ground reaction forces and joint angles, were comparable across conditions.ConclusionsThis is the first study showing superior performance when combining aF with EF. As reduced muscular activity was found only in conditions with EF, it is argued in line with the constrained action hypothesis that adopting an EF improves movement efficiency. In contrast, aF seems to rather enhance (intrinsic) motivation. However, monetary reward did not further amplify performance.
