The side stitch experienced during exercise is caused by shallow breathing which irritates the phrenic nerve and causes pain.
Deep breathing using the double inhale, long exhale pattern can help relieve the side stitch.
Open loop skills require immediate feedback, while closed loop skills allow for continuous feedback.
Any motor movement skill consists of three components: sensory perception, actual movements, and proprioception.
There are three types of central pattern generators (CPGs): those in the brain, spinal cord, and body, each with a different function.
Upper motor neurons are responsible for learning new behaviors, while lower motor neurons send wires to muscles that cause muscle fibers to fire.
It is important to determine whether an activity is open or closed loop and to focus attention on specific aspects while doing the activity for skill learning.
The 10,000 hours rule is not accurate as it overlooks the importance of the quality of repetitions over the amount of time spent learning.
When learning a new skill, it is better to be willing to make mistakes and try again rather than to work harder to avoid losing something.
Stimulation of a particular area of the brain in the prefrontal cortex can lead to more effort, repetitions, and forward steps, resulting in learning to win every time.
