What aspect of a client's training is significantly influenced by the type of feedback provided?

The type of feedback provided to a client plays a crucial role in motor learning, which encompasses the processes involved in acquiring and refining movements through practice and experience. Effective feedback helps clients understand their performance, make adjustments, and reinforce the correct execution of movements. This is particularly important during the learning phase, where proper guidance can lead to more accurate motor patterns and improved skill execution.

Feedback can be intrinsic or extrinsic; intrinsic feedback comes from the client's own sensory experiences, while extrinsic feedback, such as verbal guidance or visual cues from a trainer, can help clarify errors or reinforce successes. The balance and timing of this feedback can greatly influence how well a client learns and adapts their motor skills. This is why the nature of feedback is directly linked to motor learning rather than to physical endurance, strength, or flexibility, which are influenced by other factors such as training volume, intensity, and specificity of the workout program.
