328 A discussion with Frans Bosch about his new book, Anatomy of Agility – Movement Analysis in Sport. Why is it critical to take into account the body’s interests when coaching movement? Why is stability more important than perfecting a movement? How can a coach manipulate variability in practice to influence the development of attractors?…

327 A discussion with Sian Beilock from Barnard College. Why does pressure affect different performers in different ways?

324 An ecological approach to preventing and adapting to sports injury. To what extent can we predict injury from technique? How is injury risk related to movement variability and attentional focus? Can we reduce risk by increasing variability through training? Does injury induce functional neuroplastic changes in our brain?Download link Articles: Reviewing the Variability-Overuse Injury…

323 Do learners choose movement solutions that are economical – that is those which not only achieve their performance goal but are also the most efficient and have low energy expenditure? What information is available to guide a performer to a more economical movement solution and how does it depend on attentional focus? How can…
