Design and justify an evidence-based motor control intervention plan. The
intervention will be targeted at a specific population (chosen by the student) and will aim to address, at
most, two specific issues (where more issues exist, please prioritise) over a maximum of a five week
period. Motor Control theories should be taken from those found in Unit 5 (instruction and augmented
feedback, chapters 14 & 15) and unit 6 (practice conditions, chapters 16-19) of the prescribed text (list
also seen below).
- Demonstration and verbal instructions
- Augmented feedback
- Practice variability and specificity
- The amount and distribution of practice
- Whole or part practice
- Mental practice
- Internal or external focus of attention (chapter 9 can also be chosen)
Each student has the freedom to select their own 'population' and 'specific issues'. Examples from last
year included groups such as the elderly, pre-school children, pregnant mothers, stroke victims, youth
sport settings, elite sport and many more
