The Perception & Action Podcast - Sports Science & Psychology Talk

Pulling together several key concepts in the dynamical systems conceptualization of motor control. How are motor synergies realized within the human body what implications does this have for sports training?

When it comes to practice variability is more not always better? Is there a Goldilocks Effect. In other words - Is there an optimal amount (not too much, not too little) that depends on the learner’s skill level?

A look at a recent study that provides evidence that cricket bowlers use movement variability (as opposed to repeatability) to regulate the timing and speed of their delivery. And looking back at a classic in ecological dynamics – the first study to show this effect.
