Two experiments evaluated the influence of attentional focus on 10-meter sprint time and
start kinetics in a group of collegiate soccer players and highly experienced sprinters. In …

Several researchers have demonstrated that an external focus of attention (about
movement's effects) during movement execution allowed better performances and learning …

The main objective of the current experiment was to investigate if altering the focus of
attention of highly trained athletes influenced the performance of a short distance sprint …

The present study was designed to fill a gap in the literature on attentional focus and sports
performance. Specifically, in contrast to most previous studies in which an external focus …

Recent studies have demonstrated that the direction of attentional focus exerts a substantial
influence on motor performance. We argue that in well-learned skills, this variable might be …

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of adopting an external, internal, and
neutral focus of attention while executing an underhand and overhead shot put. Using a …

Abstract Porter, JM, Wu, WFW, Crossley, RM, Knopp, SW, and Campbell, OC. Adopting an
external focus of attention improves sprinting performance in low-skilled sprinters. J Strength …

The present study examined whether the previously observed benefits of an external focus
of attention (ie, focusing on the movement effect), relative to an internal focus (ie, focusing on …

Over the past 15 years, research on focus of attention has consistently demonstrated that an
external focus (ie, on the movement effect) enhances motor performance and learning …

Wulf and colleagues (eg,) have demonstrated that the adoption of an external focus of
attention is preferable for the learning of complex motor tasks. The present investigation …
