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

Exploring the use of movement analyses, skill performance studies, and biomechanics to optimize strength and conditioning training and skill practice. Data-driven training program for soccer goalkeepers. Analyzing movement and performance in sports. Emphasizing the importance of personalized solutions in movement analysis and biomechanics.

Guest Karl Marius Aksum discusses the effectiveness of Rondo drills in soccer practice, emphasizing representativeness, creativity, and transferability. The importance of fostering creativity, visual scanning, and affordances in player development is highlighted, along with the significance of game-like training activities for enhancing performance and skill adaptability.

How do motor synergies develop when we learning to catch a ball? How is this development shaped by the constraints imposed on the performer such as the information available during practice, the actions catching is nested within like postural control, and disorders like DCD ?   Articles: One more time about motor (and non‑motor) synergies Manipulating Visual Informational Constraints during Practice Enhances the Acquisition of Catching Skill in Children Inter-joint coupling and joint angle synergies of human catching movements Spatiotemporal characteristics of muscle patterns for ball catching Effects of Postural Constraints on Children's Catching Behavior Adaptations to Task Constraints in Catching by Boys with DCD Effects of a developmental task constraints intervention on kinematic synergies during two-hand catching in children with developmental delays 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 hysteresis in movement coordination?

Is there one ideal gaze strategy for performing a sports skill as has been suggested by the quiet eye research? My interview with Ben Franks from Oxford Brookes University looking at some of his research taking an ecological, individualized view of the quiet eye.   Articles: A Descriptive Case Study of Skilled Football Goalkeepers During 1 v 1 Dyads: A Case for Adaptive Variability in the Quiet Eye 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

Can athletes perceive which balls, sticks, bats, racquets, etc afford the greatest opportunity for hitting, throwing, etc? What information do they use for this and how does it relate to Gibson’s concept of dynamic touch?
