Which concept comes from feedback from your coach on the quality of a movement or performance?

• A. Knowledge of performance
• B. Intrinsic feedback
• C. External feedback
• D. Knowledge of results

Answer: (A)

Knowledge of performance is about information on how the movement was performed—the technique, form, timing, and sequence. When your coach comments on the quality of your movement, they’re giving you guidance on the motor pattern itself, not just whether you achieved the goal. This type of feedback helps you adjust how you move.

Intrinsic feedback is the sensation you feel inside your body during or after the movement, not coach-led commentary on technique. Knowledge of results deals with the outcome—whether you hit the target or achieved the goal—regardless of how the movement felt or looked. External feedback describes the source of the information (coming from outside yourself, like a coach); while coach feedback is external, the content that focuses on movement quality is best described as knowledge of performance.
