Judging and Regulating Force in Sports: The Psychophysical Scale as a Tool for Putting Shots
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
In many sports it is highly important to attain skills to judge and regulate the perceived force needed for the execution of motor actions. In the present article it is emphasized that, while more research on these issues is sorely needed, there are psychophysical methods available to handle force. The putting shot in golf is used as an example, and it is shown how one of the psychophysical scales, the Borg CR100 Scale, functions in laboratory as well as field conditions. Detailed recommendations to players, instructors, and sport psychology practitioners are given for how to use the Borg scale in practice and in games, and it is concluded that such a scale is likely to be useful in many other sports as well.
