Participants needed for PhD study

I do still need some participants for part one. I've added details for the second part of the study. If you showjump, please have a look and support this research if you can. We are looking for people who compete up to BS Novice or over 130cm.

Details can be found at https://wp.me/paOEAX-mn

Or DM me for more information.

About this project: Skilled performance is not just about what we do (movement), but what we perceive (for example; see, hear, feel), and the decisions we make.
I'm looking for participants for a PhD project looking into how showjumping riders become skilful. This study aims to gain a better understanding of whether highly skilled riders are aware of different information than competent novice riders., and what that information is.
If you can spare 45-60 mins online to take part in this study, please DM me or email at Marianne.J.Davies@student.shu.ac.uk
Thank you 🙂
