Superior performance in striking sports requires anticipation skill because of constraints
imposed on the performer, which can make it extremely difficult to achieve the motor skill …

A hallmark of skilled motor performance is behavioral flexibility–ie, experts can not only
produce a movement pattern to reliably and efficiently achieve a given task outcome, but …

The study of anticipation in truly expert performers can provide insight into how they cope
with extreme time constraints. The purpose of this dual-experiment paper was to investigate …

The expert performance approach, initially proposed by Ericsson and Smith (1991), is
reviewed as a systematic framework for the study of" expert" learning. The need to develop …

It is generally held that transfer of practice is a function of the similarity between the originally
learned task and the subsequent transfer task. In the present paper, we examine the …

In interceptive sports such as field hockey goalkeeping, the psycho-perceptual-motor skill
anticipation is vital for performance due to the extreme time constraints associated with …

Sport performance consists of interacting individual, task and environmental constraints, but
research has used a monodisciplinary, rather than an interdisciplinary approach to …

Anticipation is an important performance factor in karate kumite. A new approach analysing
anticipation in realistic combat situations by motion capturing with a high temporal resolution …

This article discusses some key methodological issues related to conducting complex whole
body in situ studies involving high-speed interceptive timing skills. The methodological …
