From the supplier: It has been hypothesized that people would be able to improve their gross motor skills through enhanced sensitivity of their sensory perception. To test this hypothesis, volunteers were given tasks similar to those practiced by powerlifters. When visual clues were provided to participants regarding their attainment of the correct stance, their performance improved. However, when the visual stimuli are removed, their performance showed that they were dependent on the stimuli and integrated very little of the target skill.
