Brief Summary

The purpose of the study was to examine the immediate effect of subliminal priming with subliminal reward stimuli on standing balance in healthy young adults. The study also compared the outcomes with the immediate effects of subliminal priming with supraliminal reward stimuli.

Conditions

Healthy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the dynamic standing balance

  Dynamic standing balance as measured by the Functional Reach Test

  Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the static standing balance

  Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol

Study Arms (2)

Subliminal priming with subliminal reward stimuli

EXPERIMENTAL

This intervention consisted of five presentations \[three cycles of mosaic (displayed for 117 ms each), physical exertion words as subliminal priming (displayed for 17 ms), and positive words as subliminal reward (displayed for 17 ms)\]. These were set to 1 package. 1 package is 24 times per 5 seconds presented in the animation (Animation of Skateboarding) for approximately 2 min.

Other: Subliminal priming with subliminal reward stimuli

Subliminal priming with supraliminal reward stimuli

EXPERIMENTAL

This intervention consisted of four presentations \[two cycles of mosaic (displayed for 117 ms each), physical exertion words as subliminal prime (displayed for 17 ms), and positive words as supraliminal reward (displayed for 150 ms)\]. These were set to 1 package. 1 package is 24 times per 5 seconds presented in the animation (Animation of Skateboarding) for approximately 2 min.

Other: Subliminal priming with supraliminal reward stimuli
