When it comes to producing skillful sport performance, we tend to think that we need to achieve a very consistent way of moving. In that perspective, less movement variability means better performance. This comes from a common assumption that...

Self-organisation and attractors

In this article, we will be focusing on two key concepts of ecological-dynamics: self-organisation, and the attractor landscape. As we have shown previously, ecological-dynamics understands our bodies as complex systems with numerous interacting...

The dynamical systems approach

Dynamical systems theory is a branch of mathematics used to describe complex dynamical systems. These are systems with multiple parts that interact with each other and change over time. Examples can range from living things like a colony of ants to...
