What are the causes of the faults?

What are the causes of the faults?


Having assessed the performance and identified that there is a fault then you need to determine why it is happening. Faults can be caused by:

  • Incorrect understanding of the movement by the athlete
  • Poor physical abilities
  • Fatigue
  • Doschic (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) imbalances
  • Emotional disturbances (anxiety, fear, anger, irritability, lack of self-confidence etc.)
  • Poor co-ordination of movement
  • Incorrect application of power
  • Lack of concentration
  • Inappropriate clothing or footwear
  • Inappropriate equipment
  • External factors e.g. weather conditions
