The complexity in human movement has provided a theoretical
challenge for movement scientists to comprehend the underlying
processes controlling joint movements in a functional and
goal-directed manner. With emerging knowledge from theoretical
perspective in Nonlinear Dynamics, the examination of the
acquisition of coordination can be comprehensively undertaken. A
discrete multi-articular kicking action with specific task
constraints was utilised as a research vehicle in a programme of
study which examined differences between different skilled
participants and also changes in coordination in novice
participants over an extended practice period. Focusing on
investigating changes in coordination has enabled a detailed
examination on the process of change with practice and referencing
these changes to a model of learning based on concepts in nonlinear
dynamics. Particularly, the role of degeneracy and movement
variability may have a functional role to play in assisting
learners learn multi-articular movement skills. The empirical
findings also provide theoretical support for a pedagogical
approach,Nonlinear Pedagogy.
