description Extended feedback on knowledge of performance in sports techniques is very challenging and requires a high level of expertise. This poses a significant problem for experiments on providing extended feedback, as it is essential to ensure that the “correct” feedback is given for it to be effective. In this study, we investigate whether the correct feedback can be determined based on kinematic data. Ten participants and one model were recorded during shot put using a Motion Capturing (MoCap) system and simultaneously captured on video. The videos were analysed by two experts, and the two most critical errors were noted. By qualitatively comparing the deviations of the participants from the model, the experts’ error feedback was identified in the motion curves of the MoCap system. The expert feedback for two participants was sealed in an envelope. In a qualitative analysis of the motion data, the error feedback was then determined and subsequently compared with the experts’ feedback. These error feedbacks largely matched. It was shown that, in principle, it is possible to extract errors from the kinematic angle and distance curves of the movement. This study opens the door to an automated version of the qualitative assessment of movements by AI. Further research can now focus on the topic of conveying AI-generated feedback. This could then also provide a valid foundation for experiments on the effects of knowledge of performance.
