Which is an example of intrinsic feedback in movement performance?

Intrinsic feedback comes from sensing your own body as you move—proprioception and kinesthetic awareness that tell you where your limbs are and how your movement feels without any outside input. Feeling the position of your arm during the movement is exactly that internal information, because you’re using sensations from muscles, joints, and tendons to judge your posture and movement in real time. The other options rely on information from outside sources: a coach’s instruction is external feedback, video after the trial is external, and an auditory cue from a device is external as well.
