Abstract
Though biomechanics and motor learning are complimentary fields of study, few biomechanists have effectively combined the two. Biomechanics research has, in general, focussed on measurement techniques and ideal models of performance rather than how to use biomechanics as a tool to alter technique. Incorporating motor learning principles into biomechanics research is an important step not only for the understanding of learning principles but also the utilisation of biomechanical information in institutes and academies of sport around the world. This paper will briefly examine how research into augmented feedback, attentional focus and observational learning can be integrated into biomechanics research to aid in the successful alteration of an athlete’s technique
