Abstract
The relationship between arousal and motor performance has been studied extensively (Landers, 1980; Martens, 1974). In general, the emphasis of much of this research has been on examining the outcome of movement performance while arousal levels were manipulation. A second line of research has focused more specifically on the processes by which arousal influences movement behaviour, and the dependent variables selected have included electromyographic (Weinberg, 1977) and kinematic parameters (Beuter & Duda, 1985).

Journal of Motor BehaviorBiomechanical Motor Patterns in Normal Walking
526 Citations1983David A. Winter
Arguments are presented to support the concept that walking speed is largely controlled by gain and that the timing of the motor patterns, which is extremely tightly synchronized with the anatomical position, is under major afferent control.
Research Quarterly for Exercise and SportThe Arousal-Performance Relationship Revisited
135 Citations1980Daniel M. Landers
The role of attention in performing most sports skills is discussed, with particular emphasis on the attentional narrowing phenomenon, and Daniel M. Landers discusses the measurement of anxiety, recommending that it be viewed as a multidimensional construct consisting of physical, behavioral, and cognitive components.
Journal of Sport PsychologyAnalysis of the Arousal/Motor Performance Relationship in Children Using Movement Kinematics
63 Citations1985Anne Beuter, Joan L. Duda
Differences in movement kinematics between low and high arousal conditions were most visible in the ankle joint whose phase planes displayed an increased number of self-crossings (loops) in the high arousal condition.
Biological CyberneticsPhase plane description of endogenous neuronal oscillators in Aplysia
56 Citations1981Harold M. Pinsker, Jonathan Bell
Phase plane techniques are used to describe graphically the limit cycle behavior of identified endogenous neuronal oscillators in the isolated abdominal ganglion of Aplysia and the complex topology of the trajectory suggests that the bursting oscillator is a higher order system.

27 Citations1980C. Hershler, M. Milner
The quantification and physical interpretations of the parameters extracted from the angle-angle diagrams not only provided a valuable adjunct to visual assessment of the gaits but also elicited significant information regarding overall coordination and control during each gait.
Biological CyberneticsModeling of control and learning in a stepping motion

The control and learning model proposed here will help the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for assembling selected movement segments into goaldirected movement sequences in humans through multiob-jective optimization of the joint's motion.

The preliminary results support the concept of a hierarchical control structure with openloop control during normal operation and the existence of preprogramming and provide a starting point for the study of the development of control in multiarticulate movements.
Neuroscience LettersRelationships between electromyography and kinematics in human stepping strategies
6 Citations1987Anne Beuter, Lise Carrière +1 more
Phase plane diagrams combined with EMG suggest that control mechanisms for the flexion and extension phases are different and may be involved in fine tuning the stepping strategy for subsequent trials.

3 Citations1976Carol J. Widule
The segmental moment of inertia values obtained from 7 of the 8 cadavers reported by Dempster were scaled to a common height and weight, and an equation is given for rescaling the DemPster average values for use with any individual in proportion to their height and Weight.
