Can auditory-based intervention enhance the motor learning of novice hurdlers?
Movement sonification is a type of auditory feedback which holds much potential for enhancing motor learning. However, sonification design is complex and only effective if well-customized to the individual and movement context. This study was conducted to find out if presenting music or metronome be...
