What best describes Feedback in IPM?

• A. The initial sensory input
• B. The immediate muscular response
• C. Information received about the result of the action
• D. Planning for future performance

Answer: (C)

Feedback is the information you receive after a movement about how well it went—the result of the action. This tells you whether you achieved your goal and by how much, which the brain uses to compare what happened with what it predicted and to adjust future movements. It can come from inside the body (like how it felt) or from outside (such as a coach’s comment or a video). This is different from the initial sensory input used to start the action or the muscular response that actually produces the movement, and it’s not the planning itself. So the best description is information about the result of the action.
