Abstract

To determine the effect of receiving the visual feedback of the sphygmomanometer on lumbopelvic motor control (LPMC) tests in professional swimmers. 31 professional swimmers to participate in the study. The outcome was maximum absolute mmHg variation in the pressure biofeedback unit's manometer with and without visual feedback on four LPMC tests. Test scores were significantly affected by visual feedback F = 10.07, <i>p</i> = 0.002, η<sup>2</sup> <sub>p</sub> = 0.117 and the type of test F = 32.53, <i>p</i> < 0.001, η<sup>2</sup> <sub>p</sub> = 0.300. Visual feedback has a positive effect on the Active Straight Leg Raise Test (ASLR), the Knee Lift Abdominal Test (KLAT) scores completed by professional swimmers.
