External feedback did not significantly alter maximal effort cycling performance. However, athletes perceived positive feedback as accurate and favorable, while negative feedback was deemed inaccurate and unfavorable.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Psychology of Sport

Background:

  • Understanding the impact of external feedback on athletic performance is crucial.
  • Elite athletes may process feedback differently than non-athletes.
  • Noncontingent feedback, which is not directly earned, presents a unique research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how noncontingent external feedback affects maximal effort cycling performance.
  • To examine the influence of feedback on perceived effort.
  • To assess athletes' perceptions of the quality and accuracy of feedback.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a maximal effort bicycle ergometer test.
  • Involved 47 participants, including elite athletes and physical education majors.

  • Employed a within-subjects design with five 60-second trials under different feedback conditions (positive, negative, combined, none).
  • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in performance were observed across the various feedback conditions.
    • Participants rated positive feedback favorably and accurately.
    • Negative feedback was rated unfavorably and inaccurately.

    Conclusions:

    • External feedback does not appear to significantly impact maximal effort performance in this context.
    • Athletes' subjective evaluation of feedback quality and accuracy is influenced by its valence (positive vs. negative).
    • Findings support the idea that successful athletes may rely less on external attributions for their performance.
