“…The results suggest that they were complementary but not similar, providing a full analysis of the postural control. Thus, our results are congruent with the idea that experts in sports requiring fine perceptive-motor control develop a shorter sensory-motor delay (Le Runigo et al, 2005). Gymnasts develop specific postural flexibility and adapt differently to constraints.…”

ABSTRACT. The authors investigated how expertise in motor skills that require fine postural control, such as gymnastics, influences postural regulation. Gymnasts and nongymnasts performed a postural stabilization task after anterior-posterior destabilization while looking at a target in front of them. The authors recorded and analyzed the center of pressure and the ankle, knee, and hip displacements. Gymnasts were able to react rapidly after destabilization to decrease their center of pressure and the angular movements. Moreover, they used their knees to stabilize posture, whereas the nongymnasts used their hips. These findings suggest that specific postural experience modifies the ability to coordinate and regulate posture. The authors discuss these results from an ecological perspective.

“…Our results could be interpreted as an optimization in perception-action coupling with expertise. Recently, Le Runigo, Benguigui, and Bardy (2005) made a similar interpretation in a study on the effects of tennis practice on interceptive actions.…”

“…The former has emphasized that online adjustment during interception is achieved by a continuous coupling between the perceptual and motor systems by directly perceiving optical variables such as tau (Bootsma, Houbiers, Whiting, & van Wieringen, 1991;Bootsma & van Wieringen, 1990;Le Runigo et al, 2005;Tresilian, 1995) and controlling the required velocity of effector movement (Montagne, Laurent, Durey, & Bootsma, 1999;Peper, Bootsma, Mestre, & Bakker, 1994). That is, this theory does not emphasize the use of internal representation of future target motion, but rather, it emphasizes the use of current visual information of target motion to estimate the TTC.…”

“…Therefore, the total time of the target presentation was devised in such a way as to create a time scale similar to that which a baseball batter generally faces in actual batting (i.e., slow condition). In this case, however, the actual velocity in the batting task was not replicated in the experiment task because the actual target (i.e., baseball) traveling distance is about 16 m, whereas the distance in the present task was 4 m. Therefore, in order to create a relatively faster condition within the visual reaction time, the degree of velocity difference between the slow (10 m/s) and fast (15 m/s) conditions was set at 50 %, well above the threshold value that is generally found to be sufficient to allow the perception of a velocity difference (Benguigui, Ripoll, & Broderick, 2003;Le Runigo, Benguigui, & Bardy, 2005).…”

Sports involving fast visual perception require players to compensate for delays in neural processing of visual information. Memory for the final position of a moving object is distorted forward along its path of motion (i.e., "representational momentum," RM). This cognitive extrapolation of visual perception might compensate for the neural delay in interacting appropriately with a moving object. The present study examined whether experienced batters cognitively extrapolate the location of a fast-moving object and whether this extrapolation is associated with coincident timing control. Nine expert and nine novice baseball players performed a prediction motion task in which a target moved from one end of a straight 400-cm track at a constant velocity. In half of the trials, vision was suddenly occluded when the target reached the 200-cm point (occlusion condition). Participants had to press a button concurrently with the target arrival at the end of the track and verbally report their subjective assessment of the first target-occluded position. Experts showed larger RM magnitude (cognitive extrapolation) than did novices in the occlusion condition. RM magnitude and timing errors were strongly correlated in the fast velocity condition in both experts and novices, whereas in the slow velocity condition, a significant correlation appeared only in experts. This suggests that experts can cognitively extrapolate the location of a moving object according to their anticipation and, as a result, potentially circumvent neural processing delays. This process might be used to control response timing when interacting with moving objects.

“…Previous research has demonstrated that experts in fast ball sports are more successful at achieving interceptions when faced with environmental changes than novices (Ripoll and Latiri, 1997;Runigo et al, 2005Runigo et al, , 2010. Thus, improving the movement correction capability, which minimizes errors induced by unexpected environmental changes, is necessary to develop expertise in interception in a fast ball sport.…”

The present study focused on whether the movement correction capability during interceptive action can be improved by practice and investigated what practice method would enable the improvement. Two possible practice methods were conducted, i.e., practice with direct interception of an accelerating target (within-trial target velocity changes; WT practice), and practice with interception of 2 constant-velocity targets that are presented in uncertain order (inter-trial target velocity changes; IT practice). After practice, the rate of movement correction and movement kinematics of both groups were investigated at post-and transfer tests that included various novel target conditions. In the post-test, only the IT practice group showed improved rate of movement correction and movement velocity patterns with rapid acceleration for the accelerating targets despite having no direct experience with target velocity change during practice. In the transfer test, the WT practice group showed a relatively high rate of movement correction for the novel target velocity changes. These results indicate that movement correction capability during interception can be improved by practice. However, WT and IT practices lead to the development of diŠerent movement correction strategies.
