Abstract

This paper systematically explores the impact of implicit motor learning on motor performance, including the concepts and theoretical foundations of implicit motor learning, its relationship with the development of motor skills and motor performance, the effects and practical applications of implicit motor learning training, as well as the moderating role of psychological factors. Research findings suggest that implicit motor learning training plays a crucial role in enhancing motor skills and promoting rehabilitation, with potential value in sports education. Future research can further investigate individual differences, neural mechanisms, optimization of clinical applications, intervention strategies for psychological factors, and interdisciplinary studies, among other aspects.
