Description: Do learners choose movement solutions that are economical – that is those which not only achieve their performance goal but are also the most efficient and have low energy expenditure? What information is available to guide a performer to a more economical movement solution and how does it depend on attentional focus? How can this be conceptualized in a constraints-based framework?   Articles: Metabolic energy expenditure and the regulation of movement economy Increased movement accuracy and reduced EMG activity as the result of adopting an external focus of attention Enhanced expectancies impr...
