Padulo, J., Doria, C., Scurati, R., Antiglio, A., Odinot, M., Esposito, F., Peyré-Tartaruga, L. A. “…In the last decades, gait variability (GV) has provided new insight into motor control. No study, though, quantified the GV together with bilateral symmetry at different running intensities in runners. …”

Brady, A. J., Moynagh, M. B., Devenney, S., Egan, B. “…Methods In a four-condition, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover design, 18 middle- and long-distance runners (male/female = 10/8, VO2peak = 59.4 ± 7.2 mL·kg-1·min-1) completed five 8-min stages of submaximal running (male = 10-14 km·h-1, female = 9-13 km·h-1) on a motorized treadmill, immediately followed by a ramp test to volitional exhaustion. …”

“…In this section we will investigate motor skills, motor control and how we can use this science to improve the effectiveness of our skill teaching schemes.…”

Ramadan, K. “…Nonetheless, the vast majority of studies have been conducted in lab settings or have involved isolated motor and sport tasks, thus not examining the impact of self-talk in more realistic field settings and sport performance. …”

Catalá-Vilaplana, I., Liu, T., Vienneau, J., Nigg, S. R., Pérez-Soriano, P., Encarnación-Martínez, A. “…Therefore, running on curved non-motorized treadmills is more biomechanically different compared to overground than motorized treadmills, and might not be the best strategy to replicate overground running in terms of joint kinematics during highly controlled research studies. …”

Yokota, K., Oga, R., Tamaki, H. “…INTRODUCTION: Pre-activation (PA) of agonist/antagonist muscles prior to ground contact during running and jumping movements is one of the human motor control mechanisms, and according to previous reports, it has a positive impact on motor performance. …”

Nakagawa, K., Kakehata, G., Kaneko, N., Masugi, Y., Kanosue, K., Iso, S., Nakazawa, K. “…METHODS: Ten sprinters and ten control subjects participated in this experiment. …”

Brady, A. J., Egan, B. “…Methods Using a three condition, placebo-controlled, randomized crossover design, 11 male middle- and long-distance runners ran at five submaximal speeds (10-14 km·h-1) on a motorized treadmill for 8 min each, immediately followed by a ramp test to volitional exhaustion. …”

Fang, K., Jiang, H. “…This study compared the effects of a 6-week short sprint interval training (sSIT) on male and female basketball players' bio-motor abilities, aerobic fitness, and anaerobic power. …”

Arakawa, H., Okudaira, M., Tanigawa, S., Maemura, H., Fukuda, T. “…CONCLUSIONS The altered lower extremity joint angles from the late swing phase to the late stance phase in CAI patients suggest greater joint stability for large external loads with feed-forward motor control programs.…”

Perrone, S., Rinaldi, L., Gatti, D., Girelli, L. “… • Runners outperformed non-athletes in mental vividness, while swimmers` advantage over controls did not reach significance. • The individual level of mental vividness affected the temporal estimation ability in tasks employing motor imagery.…”

Cortes Gutierrez, J., Walton, S. P., Bezodis, N. E. “…Previous studies have investigated sprint start biofeedback applications, but these have either not considered important kinematics, coaching implications or key motor learning principles. The biofeedback system was developed to convey rear knee angle information, obtained from 3D motion capture to novice participants as changes in the colour of an LED start line when they were in the "set" position. …”

Yaserifar, M., Mohammadi, Z. F., Hosseininejad, S. E., Paeen Afrakoti, I. E., Meijer, K., Boonstra, T. W. “…BACKGROUND: Soccer is a unilateral sports activity that may alter the spatiotemporal characteristics of gait. This may alter motor control of gait in the dominant leg in soccer players and lead to a sport-specific gait pattern, which has not yet been considered. …”

Hunter, B., Karsten, B., Greenhalgh, A., Burnley, M., Leuchanka, A., Clark, T., Muniz-Pumares, D. “…Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and Higuchi`s fractal dimension (HG) have previously been used to characterise motor control during gait. However, there is limited evidence of either being applied to running gait within a race environment. …”

Vazini Taher, A., Pavlovic, R., Ahanjan, S., Skrypchenko, I., Joksimovic, M. “…The place of camera was always determined wisely around the jumping field to attain best photography. Organizing and controlling the imaging and motor analysis processes were done by a biomechanics expert. …”

Thaqi, A., Berisha, M., Asllani, I. “…To determine the differences between pre- and post-test values of the control and experimental groups ANOVA calculations were made. …”
