The purpose of our study was to examine if the beneficial effects of an external focus are effective for balance control when sleep-deprived. Sleep-deprived participants (27 hours awake) completed three blocks of five separate 30 second trials on a dynamic balance board. All participants were given internal, external, and control instruction. For the internal focus trials, participants focused on their feet; whereas, for the external focus trials, participants focused on the balance board. Participants' time in balance was significantly greater during the external focus compared to the internal focus and control. These findings suggest that external focus instructions are effective when participants are sleep-deprived.
我们研究的目的是检验当睡眠不足时,外部关注点的有益效果对平衡控制是否有效。睡眠不足的参与者(清醒27小时)在动态平衡板上完成了三个组块,每组包含五个独立的30秒试验。所有参与者都接受了内部关注点、外部关注点和对照指导。在内部关注点试验中,参与者关注自己的双脚;而在外部关注点试验中,参与者关注平衡板。与内部关注点和对照相比,参与者在外部关注点试验期间保持平衡的时间显著更长。这些发现表明,当参与者睡眠不足时,外部关注点指导是有效的。
