Extraction Method of Characteristics of Important Body Shapes and Their Training Order for Motor Skill Acquisition

Abstract

For acquiring motor skills, players are often taught body shapes of the specific timing in the movement Such body shapes are not defined for all movement, even though the specific timing is known. Such important body shapes (IBS) are the characteristics of the body shapes that can be seen from successful players and that are not seen from unsuccessful players. This research proposes the extraction method of IBS of the specific timing from the body shapes of successful/unsuccessful players. On the other hand, players sometimes set easier sub-goals before training the target motor skill. The IBS extracted by the sub-goals may be easier to acquire than those extracted by the target movement. This research also determines the training order of IBS by the difficulties of sub-goals/target movement from which they are acquired.
