Knowledge of performance is best described as what?

• A. Is the final outcome of the movement
• B. Is the quality of a performance and can be felt during execution or observed
• C. Relates to the environment in which the movement occurs
• D. Is the time taken to complete the task

Answer: (B)

Knowledge of performance describes the quality of how a movement is performed—the technique, form, and the feel of the movement during execution or how it looks when observed. It gives feedback on movement quality so learners can adjust their technique, not just whether the goal was achieved. For example, in throwing, KP is about release angle, arm action, and body alignment (how the movement feels or looks), whereas knowledge of results would be about whether the ball reached the target. The time to complete the task focuses on speed, and the environment refers to context, not movement quality. So the best description is the quality of the movement that can be felt or observed.
