“…The reason for this could potentially be explained by the rate of cognitive development in children and adolescents whose frontal lobes continue to mature as they grow [ 37 ]. Whilst concepts such as the constrained action hypothesis might serve as an effective model for motor performance and learning in adults, an alternative approach could be more appropriate in certain (perhaps naïve) youth groups due to the aforementioned factors, though evidence to the contrary does exist [ 38 , 39 ]. In relation to the current study, it is possible that this process was observed at work with the young participants at the testing centres potentially less receptive to the coaching cues provided by the investigators.…”

“…Moreover, whilst adults have been shown to focus on relevant cues only, children focus on both relevant and irrelevant cues and this could potentially impact on the level of attention they devote to a specific instruction [ 40 ]. On the contrary, it is important to consider that if a young individual achieves a sufficient volume and quality of training, it is possible that they would no longer be considered to be a naïve perceiver and so may respond more readily to ADCs or ECs when provided by a coach [ 38 ].…”

Purpose The way coaching cues are worded can impact on the quality with which a subsequent motor skill is executed. However, there have been few investigations on the effect of coaching cues on basic motor skill performance in youths. Method Across several international locations, a series of experiments were undertaken to determine the effect of external coaching cues (EC), internal coaching cues (IC), analogies with a directional component (ADC) and neutral control cues on sprint time (20 m) and vertical jump height in youth performers. These data were combined using internal meta-analytical techniques to pool results across each test location. This approach was amalgamated with a repeated-measures analysis to determine if there were any differences between the ECs, ICs and ADCs within the different experiments. Results 173 participants took part. There were no differences between the neutral control and experimental cues in any of the internal meta-analyses except where the control was superior to the IC for vertical jump (d = -0.30, [-0.54, -0.05], p = 0.02). Just three of eleven repeated-measures analyses showed significant differences between the cues at each experimental location. Where significant differences were noted, the control cue was most effective with some limited evidence supporting the use of ADCs (d = 0.32 to 0.62). Conclusion These results suggest the type of cue or analogy provided to a youth performer has little subsequent effect on sprint or jump performance. Accordingly, coaches might take a more specific approach that is suited to the level or preferences of a particular individual.

“…The range of loading rate (beats per minute), ankle dorsiflexion (over the edge of a step vs. 10 • incline vs. flat ground) and plantar flexion (partial vs. maximum height) requirements reported in research may have contributed to the inconsistency seen clinically [10]. Specific instructions and cues have been a key consideration in contemporary research and clinical settings to help standardise practice [11]. Performance and technique cues during the SLHR test may alter the number of repetitions to failure performed and potentially provide a more robust indication of an individual's capacity when screening athletes [12,13].…”

Practitioners routinely use the single leg heel raise (SLHR) to quantify calf function in healthy and injured populations. Despite this, approaches vary and the impact of cueing on SLHR performance and results interpretation in athletesis unknown. The primary aim of this study was to quantify the level of agreement of the cued versus non-cued SLHR tests. The secondary aim was to explore test outcomes and the potential impact of intrinsic factors. Cued and non-cued SLHR tests were conducted in fifty-one Australian football players (23 women, 28 men). Metronome pacing (60 bpm) and five key cues were included in the cued condition. The level of agreement (Bland–Altman) between tests was measured for capacity (repetitions to failure) and asymmetry. Data from 100 legs were included. The non-cued and cued SLHR tests demonstrated poor agreement in both capacity and asymmetry. More repetitions to failure were performed in the non-cued SLHR [Mean (SD) = 33.9 (10.3) vs. 21.9 (5.3), p < 0.001)], and men had greater capacity (36.8 (10.4) vs. 30.3 (9.2), p < 0.001). During the cued SLHR, older players (age ≥ 30 years: −5.1 repetitions, p = 0.01) and Indigenous players (−3.4 repetitions, p = 0.002) and had reduced calf muscle function. Cueing the SLHR test significantly changes the result—outcomes are not comparable or interchangeable with the commonly used non-cued SLHR. These findings can guide practitioners quantifying calf capacity.
