ABSTRACT
Contemporary motor learning theory is focused on coordination and its acquisition in humans and groups conceptualised as complex adaptive systems. Understanding of coordination processes is related to the well-known degrees of freedom problem and how functional synergies (coordination patterns used to achieve task goals) are formed among components of complex adaptive systems. Learning designs in a Nonlinear Pedagogy are framed by practical implications which emerge from developing a rich awareness of how movement system degrees of freedom can be continuously (re)organised to achieve intended task goals in PE and sport.
