486 – Functional Variability in the Cricket Bowling Delivery

486 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.Download link Articles:Functional movement variability to maintain delivery speed in…
