Table 3

Examples of strategic planning microanalytic questions, administration sequence, and coding scheme.

Study	Questions	Timing of administration	Coding Scheme
[50]	“What do you need to do to accomplish that goal?”^a	Immediately prior to the basketball free-throw session	Specific techniques
			General technique
			Visualization
			Specific/general focus
			Distractions
			Rhythm
			Do not know
[34]	Athletes were asked if they had a regular practice routine that they followed when practicing on their own^b	Immediately prior the volleyball serving practice session	Completely structured
			Partially structured
			Unstructured
	“What do you need to do to accomplish these goals?”	Immediately prior to the volleyball serving practice session	Specific technique
			Visualization
			Concentration
			Technique/concentration
			Practice/no strategies
[33]	“Do you have any particular plans for how to read this passage and take the test?”	Immediately before reading a text passage about tornadoes	Counted the number of strategies used/noted
[56]	“What are you thinking about as you prepare to draw blood from this arm?”	Immediately preceding the first attempt to draw blood from mannequin arm	Process/technique
			Outcome
			Patient interaction/care
			Confidence
			Do not know

^aThis question was referred to as strategy choice.
^bThis question was not fully microanalytic because it did not pertain specifically to the study’s practice session.
