The Perception & Action Podcast

Learn the best practices for planning effective practices and involve athletes in co-designing practice. Explore the importance of adaptability, constraints, and using games for learning. Highlight the significance of co-design in practice activities and adapting based on athlete feedback.

Does thinking about movement always hinder performance? If so, is the solution to stop thinking and rely solely on automatic processes? Or is it possible to reach a state where consciousness remains on the surface, but our body leads the way?   Articles: Letting the body find its way: Skills, expertise, and Bodily Refection   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

Exploring the concepts of specificity and representativeness in training and the limitations of games as learning environments. Discussing the importance of developing a range of movement solutions and using constraints and condition-based coaching. Emphasizing the role of information and task dynamics similar to the game for effective skill transfer. Exploring the coach's role in guiding athletes' movement patterns and the concept of representative design in training.

Does the kinetic chain link in the expected proximal to distal order? Does it link in the same way with each execution of a movement? To foreshadow- NO and NO. A look at work on kinematic sequencing in throwing.   Articles: Kinematic sequence patterns in the overhead baseball pitch Kinematic Sequence Classification and the Relationship to Pitching Limb Torques   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

Exploring the connection between action capacity and skill in baseball, the concept of affordances in training, how affordances in the environment can conflict with practice design, the influence of physical environment and sensory information on affordances, analyzing the force behind Rampage's punch, the relationship between action capacity and skill development, and the importance of connecting action capacity with practice design.

I am joined by Elina Nijmeijer and Anne Benjaminse from the University of Groningen to talk about their interesting new work on implicit training to reduce injury risk in athletes.     Articles: Optimal and suboptimal video instructions change movement execution in young talented basketball players   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

What is the best way to train multiple movements, like the serve, set and pass in volleyball, in parallel? Are the effects we see when interleaving different movements more consistent with an information processing or ecological approach?   Articles: Learning Multiple Movements in Parallel—Accurately and in Random Order, or Each with Added Noise?

Exploring topics like affordances and dynamical systems in ecological psychology. Discussing intelligence beyond the brain and the creation of educational characters. Emphasizing the importance of accessibility and simplifying complex ideas through cartoonization.

Is creativity in sports rooted in divergent thinking – the cognitive ability to generate a lot of ideas or in having a diverse set of motor skills? And a preview of the 2022 Baseball Skill Acquisition Summit.   Articles and Links: Creative actions in team sports are rooted in motor skills rather than in a divergent thinking ability https://floridabaseballarmory.com/summit/   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

How do different S&C training methods support injury prevention. For example, which is better for learning a squat – external focus of attention instructions, self-controlled feedback or differential learning?   Articles: Comparing the Effects of Differential Learning, Self-Controlled Feedback, and External Focus of Attention Training on Biomechanical Risk Factors of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in Athletes: A Randomized Controlled Trial   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com
