NOTE

Assessing Movement Skill Adaptation

To assess movement skill adaptation, focus on human movement rather than sport-specific skills. Access a physical therapist or movement specialist to identify your movement patterns for a gold standard assessment. Alternatively, follow a four-step self-assessment process by focusing on major joints like shoulder, elbow, low back, hip, knee, and ankle. Perform representative movements - an upper body press, upper body pull, lower body press, and lower body pull - such as push up, pull up, squat, and deadlift. Record yourself doing these movements from frontal and side views, looking out for four key elements at each joint.
