The Perception & Action Podcast

I get together with Randy Sullivan, Frans Bosch & Martijn Nijhoff to preview the 5th Annual Florida Baseball Armory Skill Acquisition Summit which will be held Oct 21-22, 2033. How can we merge physical development and baseball skills to best achieve transfer of training?   Links: 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

Explore the evidence and principles of the ecological approach to skill development in athletes. Challenge common beliefs and emphasize the importance of realistic and unpredictable conditions for effective skill development. Compare traditional pedagogy with constraints and differential learning, highlighting the benefits of self-organization. Discuss the value of swing variability in baseball and how the ecological approach can enhance performance through guided self-organization and clear feedback.

How can we reconceptualize movement behavior in sports as solving alive problems?

How does training under conditions of enhanced expectations for performance success influence us under pressure and dual-task conditions? Is it possible to explain these effects in the ecological approach?

This podcast challenges common practices in skill acquisition research and introduces a new framework called SAFE. It explores inconsistencies between coaching practice and research, emphasizes the importance of balancing long-term learning and short-term performance, discusses creating an appropriate environment for skill acquisition, and highlights the importance of collaboration and support in skill acquisition and coaching.

The podcast explores the topic of using variability in practice, discussing when and why it should be used. They emphasize the impact of variability on motor programming and learning, and propose a model for utilizing variability based on skill level and attention load. The speakers also raise concerns about representative design and suggest a more specific approach.

A study comparing coaching methods for reducing ACL injury risk in basketball found that variability and degeneracy can be effective. The importance of movement variability in reducing injury risk is explored, along with different approaches like nonlinear pedagogy and constraint-led approach. Gender representation in training groups and its impact on change of direction performance is examined. Traditional coaching methods are compared with alternative approaches like nonlinear pedagogy and constraint-led approach. A study highlights the effectiveness of constraint-led approach in reducing ACL injury risk. The potential of practice variability in reducing the risk of ACL injury is also discussed.

This podcast explores the benefits of practicing a skill with unpredictable options versus isolated rehearsal. It discusses the impact of traditional practice and a constrained action approach on volleyball attack skill development, as well as comparing training methods in representative serve reception sets. The podcast also examines various kinematic variables related to the volleyball attack and the significance of task simplification and decision-making in volleyball attacks.

Exploring the myth of contextual interference and the variability of practice in motor learning. Discussing the benefits of random practice, the impact of contextual interference on skill acquisition, and a critique of a study on sports and motor skills. Examining the effect of age on contextual interference and understanding the differences between blocked and random practice in sports.

Challenging the traditional coaching approach by discussing training effectiveness, comparing isolated training with nonlinear pedagogy, testing the importance of fundamentals, exploring the effectiveness of nonlinear training and skill acquisition.
