Anticipation is key to performance in many sports. By definition, anticipation as a perceptual-cognitive process meant inform action and help athletes reduce potential motor costs under spatiotemporal pressure. research has repeatedly been criticized for neglecting raised the need predominant testing conditions of perception-action coupling (PAC). To best our knowledge, however, there lack explicit criteria characterize define PAC conditions. This can lead blurred terminology may complicate interpretation comparability results across studies. Here, we make first proposal 7-level classification with defining dimensions stimulus presentation response mode. We hope this constitute helpful orientation study planning reporting on anticipation. Further, illustrate utilization template experimental protocol analysis review racket Analysis N = 115 studies reported 91 articles confirms an underrepresentation representative reveals little change approaches over more than 40 years that domain. discuss reasons these findings, benefits adopting proposed reiterate call research.

Athletes specializing in sports demanding rapid predictions and hand-eye coordination are highly trained predicting the consequences of motor commands. This can be framed as efficient action emulation, but neural underpinnings this remain elusive. We examined processes linked to training effect athletes (4000 h training) by employing a continuous pursuit tracking task EEG data. manipulated feedback availability intermittently occluding cursor. As performance measure, we used distance between cursor target (position error), angle movement direction (direction error) magnitude acceleration (acceleration quantify strategy. In data, investigated beta, alpha, theta frequency band oscillations. Athletes' position error is lower than non-athletes' when there no about location, not. found quantitative power differences bands, evidence that non-athletes accomplish emulation through different functional neuroanatomical structures, especially alpha beta activity concerned. surmise seemed rely on top-down inhibitory control predict guesses trajectories absence feedback. contrast, might benefit from enhanced gating mechanisms ventral stream integration sensory insular cortex, which could provide them with processing advantages computing forward models. further reflect advantage supported athletes' suggesting less higher likelihood executing integrated sensorimotor programs. posit current framings structures neurophysiological framework must revised better capture superior performance.
