외적 주의초점의 감각 정보 유형이 골프 퍼팅 학습과정에 미치는 영향

Abstract

In the current study, the learning effect of three sensory types (visual, auditory, tactile) on external focus of attention on a 5 meter golf putting task was investigated. To learn the clubhead pendulum motion, the visual external focus group focused on a 1:1 ratio(backswing: follow-through) of putter head swing distance. The auditory external focus group performed putting tasks while synchronizing with consistent metronome sound(address, backswing start, impact). The tactile external focus group were focused on putter head weight during their practice session. Preliminary, acquisition phase, and retention tests were conducted during the evaluation procedure. A total of 90 trials (6 blocks of 15 trials) were conducted during the acquisition phase, and 15 trials were conducted during both preliminary and retention tests. There were no significant differences among the sensory groups in total, variable, and absolute errors during the acquisition phase. However, in the retention test, representing the learning effect, the tactile and auditory groups showed better performance than did the visual sensory group. These results suggest that movement demonstrations with limited visual information could delay learning, and that utilizing auditory and tactile information may enhance the learning effect. Further researches investigating the learning effect of sensory types on external focus of attention should be conducted for application in variety sports fields.
