Knowledge of performance feedback primarily emphasizes which aspect of performance?

• A. The end outcome
• B. The movement's quality and technique
• C. The fatigue level
• D. The speed

Answer: (B)

Knowledge of performance feedback targets how the movement is executed—the quality of technique, alignment, timing, sequencing, and coordination of body parts. It guides you on what to adjust in the movement pattern itself, helping you refine your skill for future attempts. In contrast, knowledge of results, which focuses on the end outcome (whether the goal was achieved), tells you if you hit the target but not how you performed. For example, in a jump shot, KP would address elbow position, wrist action, and follow-through to improve form, while KR would tell you whether the ball went in. Fatigue level and speed are performance factors that can influence execution but are not the primary focus of KP.
