Thelen's model

Thelen’s model explains how our developed skills and behaviors change over time, especially in sports and movement. It views these behaviors as patterns shaped by physical forces and how our muscles and nervous system interact. These patterns can be stable or flexible, adjusting as needs and circumstances change. The model highlights that movement skills aren’t fixed; they evolve through a dynamic process where different muscle groups work together, influenced by factors like motivation, practice, and environment. Overall, it offers a way to understand the complex, adaptable nature of human movement and learning.
