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. …”

Solana-Tramunt, M., Bofill-Ródenas, A. “…This study investigated the impact of repeated maximal lumbar movements performed with closed eyes and motor imagery on lumbar proprioception in elite swimmers, compared to performing the same exercises with proper technique and controlled breathing alone. …”

Fassone, M., Puce, L., Biggio, M., Avanzino, L., Bove, M., Bisio, A. “…Swimmers often use metronomes during training, but their effectiveness in learning a new swimming pace is unclear. Adapting motor skills to new timing is complex and occurs in stages. …”

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. …”

Steele, J., Hunter, I. “…These findings indicate that more experienced runners exhibit more consistent and stable movement patterns, reflecting refined motor control. The results support the hypothesis that greater running experience is associated with reduced variability in movement patterns within a controlled environment, providing insights into the mechanisms that could contribute to enhanced performance and injury prevention.…”

Seifert, L., Létocart, A., Guignard, B., Regaieg, M. A. “…This study questioned the influence of unilateral physical impairment on controlling inter-limb coordination, notably the coordination symmetry. …”

Trongjitpituk, R., Homma, M. “…This observed superior performance could be partly attributable to a pre-existing predisposition for such motor skills and/or the effects of rigorous training. …”

Whitacre, T. D., Stearne, D. J., Clark, K. P. “…In locomotion, the relative phasing of the limbs changes with speed and provides valuable insight to neuromuscular control of gait. At present, it is unknown if individuals trained in sprinting coordinate their limbs differently than runners from other athletic backgrounds. …”

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. …”

Hatami, F., Tahmasbi, F., Pasbani, H.

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. …”

Kulpa, R.

Regaieg, M. “…This study has shown that the key points allow to estimate the coordination, and therefore the motor control, the motricity of swimmers despite the difference in swimming caused by the existence of physical impairment. …”

Slomka, K. J., Walach-Bista, Z. “…INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two alternative methods for improving the shooting performance of biathletes. The first relies on motor skills and stresses body balance. Not only does effective postural balance reduce the risk of body imbalance, falls, and associated injuries, but it also enhances motor performance in a variety of sports. …”

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. …”

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.…”

Cuenca-Fernández, F., Ruiz-Navarro, J. J., Santos, C. C., López-Belmonte, Ó., Gay, A., Arellano, R., Stojanovic, N. “…However, executing a successful start requires excellent motor coordination and control, making it a skilful performance (Vantorre et al., 2014). …”

Simbana, D., Seifert, L., Hellard, P., Guignard, B. “…She swam nine 25-m trials in a 25-m pool at maximal speed, SR were controlled by a pacing device (Aquapacer). She was equipped with one IMU on each forearm (x-, y-, and z-; to the mediolateral, anteroposterior, and vertical axes). …”
