What is a movement signature?
A movement signature refers to the unique patterns or characteristics of an individual’s movements. It represents how someone moves based on external and internal constraints. The individual’s unique movement patterns (or signature) emerge as a result of the complex interaction between personal abilities, the task at hand, and the environment. Individual constraints include physical and psychological factors:
These constraints interact to guide and shape the development of a movement signature. Instead of coaching exact positions, the coach should manipulate the constraints to encourage adaptive learning and problem-solving. The goal is to allow the athlete to discover their optimal movement solutions through experimentation, practice, and adaptation to the dynamic constraints.
