Episode notes

This chapter discusses the three groups of attractors in movement analysis - active attractors that enhance performance, active attractors that are protective, and passive attractors. It explores the concept of using practice to push athletes away from passive and inefficient movements and provides examples of exercises to destabilize passive stability.

A discussion with Frans Bosch about his new book, Anatomy of Agility – Movement Analysis in Sport. Why is it critical to take into account the body’s interests when coaching movement? Why is stability more important than perfecting a movement? How can a coach manipulate variability in practice to influence the development of attractors? What is the information for motor learning?
