Throughout history, humans have sought ways to make work easier, more cost and resource efficient, and safer.
Fundamentals of Motor Behavior eBook
The decision to use any given practice schedule should be based on the skill level of the learner, the demands of the task, and the eventual performance setting.
The Athlete's Clock
Studies indicate a disproportionate number of professional athletes are born in the first quarter of the year, and grow up in cities with populations less than 500,000 but greater than 10,000.
The Athlete's Clock
In athletes, stride rhythm is often coupled with breathing while running, walking, cycling, or rowing. This is called entrainment of ventilation and locomotion.
Motor Learning and Development eBook
Distribution of practice refers to the amount of practice during each period and the amount of rest between practice sessions in order to ensure optimal learning of motor skills (Magill, 2007).
Motor Control in Everyday Actions
Why is the learning�performance distinction important?
Motor Control in Everyday Actions eBook
How are constant error, variable error, and absolute error useful for understanding motor control?
Advanced Analysis of Motor Development
Here we focus on the development of striking, throwing, and kicking. Most developmental studies on ballistic projectile skills have been based in developmental sequence theory, although a few studies are beginning to address issues from a dynamic systems perspective.
