ABSTRACT:
The perceptual-cognitive approach implies, among other things, that difficulty and, in consequence, performance quality, of a movement is crucially dependent on the mental representation of that movement. If so, it is of strong interest to explore what characteristics of the mental movement representation are relevant and how they influence performance. The work of BÖGER as well as of RIGHI, GALMONTE and AGOSTINI give interesting hints in that direction and pave the way for a promising line of research. As their work shows, exploring the role of mental representations for movement performance is not only of theoretical interest but also of practical relevance for sports.
