In the learning support for repetitive motions having an operating instrument, it is necessary for learners to control not only their own body motions but also an instrument corresponding to the body. This study focuses on the repetitive motion learning using single operation instrument without the movement in space; i.e. jump-rope and hula-hoop.…
