Visual perception and locomotor control when approaching a target, in long jump and hurdling events.
Summary:
In target directed locomotion, the occurrence of visual control and step adjustment are basic human skills. Assessing the long jump approach run, young, novice long jumpers adjust the final steps of their approach according to the regulatory stimuli (takeoff board), suggesting the use of a continuous visual control process. This control mechanism involved is based on a continuous perception – movement coupling and is implemented regardless of the specificity of tasks (pointing a target or stepping across an obstacle). Even though track and field hurdling is characterized by different task constraints, young athletes also adjust their step pattern in order to effectively clear the hurdle, suggesting a visual regulation similar to that reported for long jumpers. However, step pattern and technical aspects of the approach run are affected by environmental context and nested task constraints.
The regulation of the locomotion pattern according to visual input seems to be an emergent behavior, which could be improved through practice. A learning design based on the constraints-led approach, which contains all the necessary informational elements of the performance environment and provide opportunities to develop the key elements of the skill, could contribute to an improved motor skill in terms not only of an improved ability to regulate step pattern but of technical characteristics as well.
