Which cue describes the movement or pattern to be performed?

• A. Directional cues
• B. Numerical cue
• C. Anatomical cues
• D. Movement cues

Answer: (D)

Movement cues describe the movement or pattern to be performed. They guide the action itself—how to move—rather than where to move (directional cues), how long or how many repetitions (numerical cues), or which muscles to feel working (anatomical cues). For example, cueing a squat with “sit back and down” or “drive through the heels” focuses on the motion you want the body to execute. Directional cues would tell you where to move in space, numerical cues provide counts or tempo, and anatomical cues point to specific muscles to engage. The movement cueing approach helps participants perform the correct motion and maintain proper form.
