“…For example , Porter, Ostrowski, Nolan, and Wu (2010) found external focus (e.g., jump as far past the start line as possible) instructions enhanced standing long-jump performance compared with internal focus instructions (e.g., "extending your knees as rapidly as possible"). Further replication suggested that this improvement was associated with a more effective jump projection angle (Ducharme, Wu, Lim, Porter, & Geraldo, 2016). Maximum vertical jump and reach height was also improved when directing attention externally (e.g., object being reached for) compared to when internal focus (e.g., focus on reaching with fingers) instructions are provided (Wulf, Zachry, Granados, & Dufek, 2007).…”
