Abstract

The effect of feedback on motor learning is no longer understood solely with an informative objective on how the activity is being carried out. Thus, evidence is beginning to be found that suggests that the feedback provided to athletes is not only informative in the learning process, but also has effects on other variables that determine performance (García-Herrero, Carcedo, 2019). This study considers different investigations that delve into the role of positive and negative feedback in sports tasks (Saemi, Porter, Ghotbi-Varzaneh, Zarghami & Maleki, 2012). Apparently, positive feedback is related to higher levels of intrinsic motivation and perceived competence (Nicaise, Cogerino, Bois & Amorose, 2006).
