In this commentary, we highlight intriguing commonalities between the research areas of
exercise and cognition and motor skill development and learning. While these two research …

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 …

This paper provides a commentary on the contribution by Dr Chow who questioned whether
the functions of learning are general across all categories of tasks or whether there are …

In exercise and cognition research, few studies have investigated whether and how the
qualitative aspects of physical exercise may impact cognitive performance in the short or …

Cognitive enhancement refers to any type of improvement in cognitive performance
following targeted interventions. Cognitive training is a rapidly growing market with potential …

The recent upsurge in “brain training and perceptual-cognitive training,” proposing to
improve isolated processes, such as brain function, visual perception, and decision-making …

Recent research in the UK suggests that nearly half of children leave school without the
basic movement skills required to engage successfully in sport and physical activity (Griffiths …

This topic has developed at the crossroads of three scientific paths:(1) physical activity (PA)
and cognition research focused on the cognitive challenges involved in PA and motor skill …

We outline an ecological dynamics approach to motor learning that identifies the learner-
environment relationship as the basis for learning design in sport. The relevant scale of …

Background: In order to design appropriate environments for performance and learning of
movement skills, physical educators need a sound theoretical model of the learner and of …
