Manipulating task constraints for improved accuracy

The podcast discusses a study that examined the effects of a constrained sled approach in coaching cricket bowling. The researchers manipulated task constraints by creating different zones for bowlers to pitch the ball. These zones had different point values based on their alignment with the stumps behind the batter. By focusing their attention on these zones, the bowlers were able to improve the accuracy of their bowling. The study found that the manipulation of task constraints provided bowlers with clear feedback and goals, facilitating their learning and leading to more accurate throws.
