Abstract

Background:  Contemporary theories propose that adopting an external focus of attention allows the body’s system to self-organize, resulting in more efficient and automated control of motor behavior. In that context, our purpose in this study was to measure heart rate to test whether altering focus of attention would elicit a physiologic response during a static balancing task.
