Sprinting is often seen in a variety of sports. Focusing one's attention externally before
sprinting has been demonstrated to boost sprint performance. The present study aimed to …

The body of evidence has shown that the external focus of attention (EF) rather than the
internal focus of attention (IF) enhances motor skill learning and performance. Within racket …

Research on attentional focus has consistently shown that an external focus (EF) is superior
to an internal focus (IF) for performance with novice performers or learners. When examining …

Many studies have shown that focusing on an intended movement effect that is farther away
from the body (distal external focus) results in performance benefits relative to focusing on …

Research on novices suggests that an external focus improves performance over an internal
focus. For experienced performers the results on attentional focus have been mixed …

Skilled motor performance is essential in sports, the performing arts, various occupations,
and many daily activities. Scientists and practitioners alike are therefore interested in …

An external focus of attention has been shown to enhance the performance and learning of
motor skills, relative to an internal focus (see Chua, Jimenez-Diaz, Lewthwaite, Kim, & Wulf …

Based on the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning (Wulf & Lewthwaite, 2016), optimal motor
performance and learning will occur through the influence of the two motivational factors of …

Research has repeatedly suggested that an external focus of attention is far superior to an
internal focus of attention in motor learning and performance. Such findings have been …

External focus of attention has been shown to promote more automatic motor control,
yielding better performance and more efficient technique, than an internal focus. However …
