Abstract
The objective of this study was to verify the effects of knowledge of performance (KP) based on the Swimming Crawl Motor Performance Test (SCMPT) (Corazza et al., 2006) on the learning of swimming crawl. Forty-one undergraduate students, divided into two groups, participated in the study. While one group received KP after good trials, the other received KP after poor trials. The SCMPT, consisting of 29 items, was used for KP elaboration, as well as for motor learning assessment. Difference between groups was not observed on the post-test. The complexity of the test and the difficulty of learners in discriminating between good and bad trials are discussed.
