The objetive of this study is to evaluate the relation of two organizational methods of learning and performance of one gymnastic skill and their influence in some categories of feedback. 35 subjets of both sexes, 10 and 12 years old, were tested. The results showed the importance of a continuous and circular organizational method based on mini-cir...
This report documents our work in exploring active balance for dynamic legged systems for the period from September 1985 through September 1989. The purpose of this research is to build a foundation of knowledge that can lead both to the construction of useful legged vehicles and to a better understanding of animal locomotion. In this report we foc...
