Changes in coordination, control and outcome as a result of extended practice on a novel motor skill
Article Abstract:
The performance of non-skilled individuals was examined to find whether, when learning a motor skill, individuals initially freeze degrees of freedom to simplify control. The results suggested that freezing degrees of freedom was a strategy implemented across the first half of practice, after which point-independent control was gradually restored enabling successful consistent performance.

The influence of boot stiffness on gait kinematics and kinetics during stance phase
Article Abstract:
The influence of different boot prototype stiffness on gait kinematics and kinetics is investigated. The influence of boot shaft stiffness on biomechanical gait parameters and its importance for push-off that manufacturers should take into considerations when optimizing the footwear performance are demonstrated.
