Abstract

Kinematic links of the body and degrees of freedom of mobility. Difficulties of the control of movement for a system with more than one degree of freedom. The main goal of coordination. The significance of skeletal muscle elasticity and the peripheral cycle of interactions. Examples of complex interrelations between muscle forces and movement. The principle of sensory corrections. The reflex loop. The intrinsic, reactive, and external forces. The definition of motor coordination. Levels of the construction of movements. Leading and background levels. The list of levels of movement construction.
