 How can we logically and rationally analyze a practice drill like kicking a soccer ball against a wall so we can improve its representativeness and connect it with what is happening on the field? What are the effects of adding decision making to practice activities?     Articles:  Exploring the Effects of Tasks with Different Decision-Making Levels on Ball Control, Passing Performance, and External Load in Youth Football     More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)     Subscribe in iOS/Apple  Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content     Credits: The Flamin' Groovies – Shake\Some Action  Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

447 – Kicking Against Walls and Decision Making in Practice

Exploration of how psychological 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.

488- The Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) 2024

 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?

487 – Do the classic motor learning effects (eg focus of attention, choice) apply to experts?

 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.
