Biofeedback and Movement Variability
What are the effects of feedback to movement? Are there new devices that provide athletes kinematics feedback and are the benefits worth the investment? These are some of the questions that the biofeedback studies try to shed light on. Movement variability research investigates the reasons and outcomes of movement variability in sport. Closely related to motor learning in psychology, this area looks at the kinematic differences of movement.
