Abstract

CORREA-MESA, Juan Felipe  and  ALVAREZ-PENA, Paula Andrea. Anticipation neurology and its implications in sports. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2016, vol.64, n.1, pp.99-109. ISSN 0120-0011.  https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v64n1.50473.

Movement involves complex interconnections. It is required to deeply examine the adaptation, prediction and anticipation processes to understand their importance from the phylogenetic and ontogenetic bases, until its involvement in complex movements. Part of the optimization of these processes is found in the quality of afferent input, which allows the connection with the environment, in particular, the visual input, which recognizes an image stream and a projection to the context in which it is immersed. Those structures and interconnections involved in the anticipation and prediction of movements are described so that the consistency and the constant transfer of information that characterizes this field of neuromechanical movement speciality are evidenced. In addition, this article addresses the integration of specific centers from the Central Nervous System and the neural networks that allow the network of learning processes by observation, and that also provide balance and efficiency to the system in receiving stimuli and their relationship with the generation of motor efferents that accomplish specific objectives. In sports, these processes favor the gesture efficience optimizing the movement.
