Sensor-based augmented visual feedback for coordination training in healthy adults: a scoping review.

Area of Science:

• Sports Science
• Motor Learning
• Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

• Sensor technology offers potential for augmented visual feedback in sports training.
• Sensorimotor learning benefits from carefully administered external feedback.
• Sensor systems can provide real-time or post-training feedback using physiological, kinetic, or kinematic data.

Purpose of the Study:

• To conduct a scoping review of sensor-based augmented visual feedback in complex sensorimotor tasks in sports.
• To identify key considerations for developing and evaluating future sensor-based feedback systems.

Main Methods:

• Scoping review of 26 studies on visual feedback for complex sensorimotor tasks in healthy adults (18-65).
• Included studies focused on visual feedback modalities and complex movement tasks.
• Excluded studies using non-visual feedback or focusing on clinical populations.

Main Results:

• Extracted data on feedback design, intervention, and outcomes from reviewed studies.
• Summarized recommendations for sensor-based augmented feedback systems.
• Found high heterogeneity and risk of bias across studies, preventing statistical synthesis.

Conclusions:

• Sensor-based augmented visual feedback holds promise for sports training.
• Development of effective systems requires careful consideration of feedback administration.
• Future research needs stronger study designs and reporting guidelines for evidence-based feedback guidance in complex skill acquisition.
