Structural analysis of the Chopin Etudes as prerequisite to physical practice
… visualisation of the printed score prior to practice as first step towards comprehension and learning of a composition. It obviates senseless mechanical solutions to technical difficulties. The purpose of this study is to outline a systematic procedure of analysis which will enable the …

Effects of mental and physical practice on 6th grade beginning band instrumentalists' performance accuracy
… this study was to examine the effects of three practice conditions on beginning band instrumentalists’ performance of a short musical selection. Fifty- nine sixth grade beginning band students were randomly assigned to either a physical practice, mental practice, or no practice (control) …

The Role of Action Observation in Motor Memory Formation and Retention across Multiple Days
… has promise to expand therapy options in physical therapy to promote motor rehabilitation and recovery. Previous observation studies have found that action observation can facilitate motor learning: people are able to pick up context-specific cues from others’ movements to adapt to a novel …

The Effects of Practice Procedure and Task Difficulty on Tonal Pattern Accuracy.
… of different proportions of time spent on physical and mental practice, in the context of a music performance of a tonal pattern over harmonic progressions of two difficulty levels. Using a sampling without replacement procedure, sixty undergraduate students were assigned to four practice …

The effects of proprioceptive training and dyad practice to improve sensorimotor function
… the effects of proprioceptive training and dyad practice on sensorimotor function. It is well established that the human motor and sensory systems are closely linked, such that changes in motor training affect proprioceptive performance and vice versa, and that it affects neural processing in …

An examination of the physical and temporal parameters of post-physical printmaking practice: exploring new modes of collaboration, distribution and consumption resulting from digital processes and networked participation.
… and examines, through contextualised artistic practice and critical enquiry, redefinitions in the physical and temporal parameters of digitally mediated fine art printmaking caused by developments in digital media; specifically the impact of digital culture, Web2.0, social networking, augmented …

History of a particular it: a fictional narrative of practice
… ways to present, interrogate and speak about practice – through, in and as practice. Encompassing the practices of dancing and writing, the inquiry seeks to resist the codification, definition and traditions of formal discourse, and to unsettle the hold of the conceptual. The research concerns …

The Effectiveness of Infrastructure and Expertise on the Acquisition of Stickhandling and Puck Control Skills in Competitive Hockey Players
… and puck control (SPC) training device; physical practice (PP), and physical practice and observational learning (PP+OL), on skill acquisition and retention of SPC skills in competitive hockey players. Male (N=40), atom-aged (2005/2006 birth years), hockey players were recruited to …

The effect of different imagery ratios on learning and performing a gymnastic floor routine
… the effect of different imagery ratios to physical practice needed to learn and perform a gymnastic floor routine. It was assumed that an increase in imagery ability would reflect positively on the floor routine performance. Twenty-seven school-aged, male and female, skilled gymnasts …

Motor imagery in neurological rehabilitation
… To effectively embed motor imagery in clinical practice it should be client-tailored. The literature review and experiences from a pilot study resulted in a comprehensive client-tailored motor imagery strategy for increasing motor function. Goal attainment scaling is a client-centred outcome …

The Effect of Sensory Experience and Movement Observation on Motor Adaptation to Novel Force Perturbations
… Movements are often perturbed through the physical influence of the surrounding environment, interaction with objects, or injury, yet adaptation is both rapid and flexible. When adapting, humans are informed by their direct trial-and-error movement experience, incrementally updating …

Athlete Monitoring in American Collegiate Football
… the following objectives: 1) to quantify the physical demands of American collegiate football practice by creating physiological movement profiles through the use of integrated microtechnology metrics and heart rate indices, 2) to determine the positional differences in the physical practice …
