New paper out: 'The Impact of Functional Movement Variability and Movement Creativity on Sport Climbing Performance'
Here we found links between the sheer number of ways a test route could be climbed and performance on a separate new route:

New paper out looking at how to integrate ecological dynamics for developing and assessing sport technology also in the context of commercialisation. A lot of the ideas around enskillment from @CarlWoods25 kickstarted this effort.

@AcpBrunel @TimGrove22 @Bruneluni Big cheers up to @DonnyMCamera and @StephenJKeenan (@Swinburne) @TimGrove22 (@Bruneluni) for their theory and practice workshop to the Brunel Older Adults Reference Group (@Elmar_Kal) on #sarcopenia prevention

[ACP_Brunel @AcpBrunel]

Today's Sarcopenia Workshop was a success! Thanks to Dr. Donny Camera (Exercise Physiologist) and Dr. Stephen Keenan (Dietitian) from Swinburne University of Technology, and @TimGrove22 & Dr Dominic Orth @Bruneluni for their valuable insights! #Sarcopenia

Big cheers up to @Swinburne School of Health Sciences for funding our project to lead establishing multimodal concussion monitoring in youth contact sport @Swinburne. (looking forward to the wok ahead with Alexandra Gaillard, @PE_Coaching, @DonnyMCamera)

Exploring some @wattbike data from a learning intervention during HIIT-w/ @DonnyMCamera @NickolasWaldron Dr Ben Bullock
Here participants practice achieving a target average Watts across repeated bouts in the context of an HIIT intervention - nice data from these systems

Big cheers up to the Barbara Dicker Brain Science Foundation for supporting this work - here we look to apply expertise/skill acquisition models such as ecological dynamics and OPTIMAL to support sustainable behaviour change for individuals with depression

[Dominic Orth @DominicOrth]

@CPLBPI many thanks also, some really interesting questions raised during the session about bowler gaze strategies during run up (e.g., coaches want bowlers to use batter orientated attention through run-up, the visual regulation research probably needs an up-date here) @ConstraintsColl

Well done @kev_tissera on 'The impact of augmented feedback (and technology) on learning and teaching cricket skill: A systematic review with meta-analysis' https://t.co/lsLxYzxEKO

'Unilateral Force Production Deficits Following Hand Injury In Experienced Climbers: A Reliability And Retrospective Injury Study'
been a while on tech detox - but a new paper out looking at unilateral strength in previously injured climbers- 50 day link https://t.co/Xlw4XpeQmm

[Action Prediction Lab / Prof Patric Bach @actpredictlab]

Application deadline in two days!

Im late to the party but a wonderful set of ideas and call to action to address negative aspects of technology use using motor learning/ontological principles: https://t.co/Ng7hHT02OX

[Dominic Orth @DominicOrth]

A priori vs ad hoc education, interesting use of ecological dynamics in mathematics edu & tech design

links to sport in how representational approaches tend to foster fixed task constraints vs non-rep. fostering emergent task constraints during practice

[Andrew D Wilson is now @adw.bsky.social @PsychScientists]

I want to start collecting and organising a library of academic research on the ecological approach and it’s application to sports and skill acquisition. Hit me with your favourite papers, and ideas for organising this into something downloadable/updateable please!

[Jack Hickey @JackHickey89]

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Biomechanics to join @SPRINT_ACU working with @davidopar @ryan_timmins @niravmaniar91 and I on projects related to the assessment of running kinematics in elite sport.

Alot of interesting overlaps between how motor learning and technology design frameworks explain and try to guide problem solving https://t.co/RPI9MJAQfo
