Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Subliminal priming with supraliminal reward stimuli	Subliminal priming with supraliminal reward stimuli	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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in the static standing balance	Baseline and immediately after the intervention protocol	Static standing balance as measured by the One-leg standing time with the eyes closed (maximum of 120 seconds)
