Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST) to teach peer-trainers to implement video feedback (Study 1) and evaluated the effectiveness of peer-implemented video feedback to increase proper deadlifting form across 3 participants (Study 2). A nonconcurrent, multiple baseline design across participants was employed to evaluate BST and peer implemented video feedback. Results demonstrate that BST was effective for teaching peer-trainers to implement video feedback and video feedback led to improvement of deadlifting form across all participants.

Keywords: behavioral skills training; peers; sports; video feedback; weight training.
