The combination of both cueing modalities elicits a more effective contraction strategy during knee-extension exercise.
Using both internal focus and mirror observation can enhance training effectiveness.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Taken together, these results suggest that the combination of both cueing modalities elicits a more effective contraction strategy during knee-extension exercise.
Why this rating
