Which cue type reminds participants of proper technique and corrects improper movement?

• A. Safety cues
• B. Personal cues
• C. Alignment cues
• D. Respiration cues

Answer: (A)

Safety cues focus on keeping movements safe and injury-free. They remind participants of proper technique and provide corrective prompts when form starts to drift, helping to keep joints aligned, maintain stable posture, and avoid risky deviations during an exercise. For example, during a squat, a safety cue might emphasize keeping the chest up, spine in a neutral position, knees tracking over the toes, and not letting the heels lift off, so the movement stays safe and controlled. While alignment cues concentrate on exact body positioning, respiration cues guide breathing patterns, and personal cues tailor feedback to an individual, safety cues cover the broader goal of correct technique across movements to prevent injury.
