Constraints Approach for Skill Development

Encouraging exploration of perceptual motor spaces can be achieved through the constraints approach, which channels individuals towards limited movement solutions. Rate limiters, whether individual constraints or task/environmental constraints, are the primary limiters on skill development. For example, in volleyball, the constraint of only having one serve per game acts as a significant rate limiter in learning and exploring the volleyball serve, compared to tennis where two serves allow for a more aggressive and safe approach.
