18 – Performance Feedback

With the ever increasing availability of tracking and monitoring
technology it is becoming easier and easier for an athlete to get
feedback about their results and performance.  But is the
too much of a good thing?  How does feedback influence the
acquisition and performance of sports skills?  Which type of
feedback should be used and how often? Is providing biofeedback
(e.g., heart rate, brain activity) effective?  Can sounds
and vibrations be used to shape movements?
