Abstract

This study investigated the training effect of errorless psychomotor training, a motor training method with perceptual, attentional, and psychological manipulation, in a balance-related, lower limb reaching task (Y balance reaching task) on dynamic balance by young adults. Thirty-nine participants (Mean age = 27.03 years, SD = 2.64 years) were trained with different psychomotor training methods in the Y balance reaching task. Results illustrate that errorless psychomotor training significantly improved the participants’ dynamic balance and proprioceptive abilities. Additionally, gaze fixation duration on target during reaching decreased after errorless psychomotor training, suggesting that errorless psychomotor training could decrease visual information demand and be concurrently compensated by up-weighting on proprioception. This multisensory reweighting and cross-modal attention could contribute to the improvement of dynamic balance ability in sports.
