Specificity of Learning a Sport Skill to the Visual Condition of Acquisition

Abstract: The authors' main purpose was to determine whether learning of a real-world sport skill (basketball free throws) is specific to the sources of afferent visual information available during practice. Twenty-eight male high school students (inexperienced in the experimental task) were randomly assigned to a full vision or target only vision group. Participants trained under full vision or target only condition for 15 sessions. Following training, in immediate tests, they were examined under full vision and then u… Show more

“…By removing (or adding) a dominating source of feedback during a transfer test, participants need to modify the way they integrate the information on which they rely during the motor task, leading to a performance decrement [14]. Disrupting a source of feedback without completely removing it also leads to similar results [15, 30]. In the present study, it is unlikely that participants learnt to rely on the sensory feedback caused by capsaicin application as the pain induced was tonic and unrelated to movements.…”

“…This is consistent with two randomised trials’ findings that using a model with higher functional resemblance may yield a better end result and increase transferability [ 7 , 24 , 25 ]. The same observation has been made in sports; for example, different types of throws exist in badminton and there may be a high degree of specificity when learning a specific skill or type of movement [ 21 , 26 , 27 ]. In contrast, results from a recent randomised trial found that practice using simple basic skills compared with a nephrectomy module gave better results when performing a VATS lobectomy in a simulated setting [ 9 ].…”
