It is sometimes helpful to isolate the role of individual senses to gain a better understanding of the extent to which they guide movement skills.

Motor Control and Learning-5th Edition

Here we will discuss information processing as it relates to human motor behavior �specifically how information is processed for the specific purpose of producing skilled movement.

The Athlete's Clock eBook

In athletes, stride rhythm is often coupled with breathing while running, walking, cycling, or rowing. This is called entrainment of ventilation and locomotion.
