...the action. This theory explains how we can control and perform fast movements but doesn’t explain are able to change and reposition ourselves during some movements. · Closed Loop Control – your brain (motor control centre) makes a decision to move. The muscles (effector organs) get some of the information that has been sent. The rest is sent during the movement and then feedback will monitor the movement and its effectiveness. · Example – after the attacker throws an overhead throw to his teammate and a defender decides to catch – the defender can adjust and change his position according to where the ball will come down for the catch.
