When supplying feedback to a participant in your class, a GFI should mention something positive about the person’s performance before mentioning the suggested correction. This can then be followed up by a supplemental positive statement about the correction that was made. Which is the BEST example of appropriate feedback?
  1. “Good job not flexing your neck during crunches, but make sure not to arch your back.”
  2. “When doing the mambo, you really look like you’re dancing. You’ll get even more of a cardiovascular workout if you include the arm movements. ..Great! Now you should feel like you’re working harder.”
  3. “I really like the way you do grapevines.”
  4. “When stretching, make sure you don’t move too quickly because I’d hate to see you injure yourself.”
Explanation
Answer: B - The best example of feedback is: “When doing the mambo, you really look like you’re dancing. You’ll get even more of a cardiovascular workout if you include the arm movements. ..Great! Now you should feel like you’re working harder.” Feedback is defined as information that learners receive about the quality of their performance on a given task. By starting positive, issuing constructive feedback, then following up with another positive statement, a GFI will not only improve a participant’s exercise quality, but will show participants that they care about their progress. The feedback regarding a necessary correction is known as a performance standard.
