In this episode we elaborate a little more on the topic of movement smoothness or complexity. We discuss very briefly how it is measured within studies, then give examples of how you see varying degrees of movement smoothness when watching low and high skill level athletes.
Complexity of movement is used interchangeably with movement smoothness:
High Complexity = Smooth movements
Low Complexity = Rigid or jerky movements
