Deconstructing neurobiological coordination: the role of the biomechanics-motor control nexus

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2010 Apr;38(2):86-90. doi: 10.1097/JES.0b013e3181d4968b.

Abstract

Inherent indeterminacy of neurobiological systems has been revealed by research on coordination of multiarticular actions. We consider three important issues that these investigations raise for biomechanical measurement and performance modeling. These issues highlight the role of dynamic systems theory as a platform for integration of motor control and biomechanics in exercise and sports science.
