Which type of feedback is based on the outcome of the action, such as time or distance?

• A. Knowledge of performance
• B. Time and distance outcomes
• C. Concurrent
• D. Knowledge of results

Answer: (D)

The main idea is feedback that tells you the result of an action. Knowledge of results focuses on the outcome of a movement—what you achieved, such as the time you finished a run or the distance you covered. This type of feedback lets you judge success and set goals for the next attempt, without judging how you moved your body to get there.

For example, after a throw you’re told the distance reached or the time taken to complete it. That’s KR, the outcome information. In contrast, knowledge of performance would critique how you threw—your technique, form, or sequencing—regardless of the distance. Concurrent feedback is given during the action, not after, and isn’t specifically about the end result. While time or distance are outcome measures, the standard term for feedback about those outcomes is knowledge of results.
