Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) in teaching peer-trainers to implement video feedback (Study 1). This study also evaluated the effectiveness of peer-implemented video feedback to improve the form of the deadlift movement (Study 2). Peer-implemented video feedback was used to improve the performance of the deadlift across participants. A non-concurrent, multiple baseline across participants design was employed for all participants in Study 1 and Study 2. The results show that BST was effective at teaching peer-trainers to implement video feedback. Peer-implemented video feedback was effective at improvement the form of the deadlift across all participants.Keywords: applied behavior analysis, behavioral skills training, deadlift, feedback, peers, sports, video feedback, weightlifting
