494 Today I am joined by Randy Sullivan & Alan Jaeger to discuss how we can deal with the ever-recurring problem of elbow and shoulder injuries in baseball pitchers. How can we harness variability in practice for injury prevention?  Download link Links:https://floridabaseballarmory.com/https://jaegersports.com/program/return-to-throwing/ More information:Subscribe in iOS/AppleSubscribe in Android/GoogleMy Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles)My…

493 A review of the paper: “Skill shapes functional movement variability and exploration tendencies: the effect of skill under changing environmental constraints on the emergence of creative action in a divergent kickboxing task”. Do our previous training hinder or help creativity?Download link Articles:Skill shapes functional movement variability and exploration tendencies: the effect of skill under…

487 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?Download link Articles:Effects of self-controlled practice and focus of attention on free throw accuracy: Exploring optimal…

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…
