Which cue explains the reason for and potential benefit of a movement?

• A. Movement cues
• B. Informational/Educational cues
• C. Alignment cues
• D. Personal cues

Answer: (B)

Informational/educational cues are designed to explain why a movement is performed and what benefits it can provide. They illuminate the purpose behind the exercise, describe whichmuscles or energy systems are involved, and outline potential outcomes like increased strength, endurance, or better functional performance. This helps participants understand the connection between effort and result, which can boost motivation, adherence, and safe practice. Movement cues focus on how to perform the action, alignment cues emphasize proper body positioning, and personal cues tailor instruction to the individual—none of which routinely communicate the underlying reason and the broader benefits as clearly as informational/educational cues.
