	416 – The Development of Motor Synergies & the Influence of Constraints	30 Aug 2022	00:15:00
How do motor synergies develop when we learning to catch a ball? How is this development shaped by the constraints imposed on the performer such as the information available during practice, the actions catching is nested within like postural control, and disorders like DCD ?

	415 – Hysteresis in Movement Coordination	23 Aug 2022	00:12:57
What is hysteresis in movement coordination? How can it be use to explain how the sequence of events influence an athlete's performance – without the need to bring in memory or inference processes?

	414 – An Ecological Approach to the Quiet Eye, Ben Franks	16 Aug 2022	00:43:58
Is there one ideal gaze strategy for performing a sports skill as has been suggested by the quiet eye research? My interview with Ben Franks from Oxford Brookes University looking at some of his research taking an ecological, individualized view of the quiet eye.

	413 – Perceiving Affordances of Sports Equipment: Implications for Design & Fitting	09 Aug 2022	00:28:48
Can athletes perceive which balls, sticks, bats, racquets, etc afford the greatest opportunity for hitting, throwing, etc? What information do they use for this and how does it relate to Gibson's concept of dynamic touch? How can we use this better design and fit sports equipment?

	412 – A Theoretical Framework for Describing Movement Variability	02 Aug 2022	00:25:19
So, by now we all know movement variability is good! But it's not all good. A look at a framework for categorizing different types of movement variability and how it might allow us to better design training to enhance the good.
