A look at a recent study that addresses a question I get quite
often: do the basic principles of motor learning, in this case,
those proposed by OPTIMAL theory, still hold when we are dealing
with highly skilled athletes?
A look at a recent study that provides evidence that cricket
bowlers use movement variability (as opposed to repeatability) to
regulate the timing and speed of their delivery. And looking back
at a classic in ecological dynamics – the first study to show this
effect.
A look at research (and some of my personal experiences) on the
effectiveness of co-created coach education workshops to bridge the
gap between current coaching practices and scientific evidence. A
little bit about my new book – coming in 6 months!
Exploration of how psychology and sports science research can be applied to improving performance, accelerating skill acquisition and designing new technologies in sports and other high performance domains. Hosted by Rob Gray, professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, the podcast will review basic concepts and discuss the latest research in these areas.
