Key Movement Components of the 3-ball Cascade Juggling
Although motor aptitudes change in sort and intricacy, the learning experience when attaining different motor abilities is comparable. Participants endeavored to understand what is required to complete the task, which displays cognitive learning. The extensive intellectual action is required at this stage, in which developments are controlled in a moderately informed way.
Since people utilize self-talk, this stage has been marked the “verbal stage.” During this stage, people experiment with different avenues regarding unique methods to discover which one works or do not work in conveying them closer to the learning objective. Juggling adherents tend to focus on the well-ordered execution of the skill, which requires significant cognitive capacity. The consequence of utilizing sentient control systems is that the development is slow, inefficient, and performance is conflicting. For the three-ball cascade, the performer begins with two balls in one hand while the last ball is in the other hand. It is important to note that the first ball is tossed from the right rand to form an arc to the next hand. Before receiving the ball, the performer must toss the ball in the accepting hand in a comparable circular motion to the other hand. The cascade pattern proceeds in this way with each turn tossing one ball and getting another.
Features of the 3-ball Cascade Juggling
The performer must receive the ball outwardly on the extreme left and toss from nearer to the center of the same arc. The hand must advance toward the center to toss the ball and back towards the outside to receive the next ball. Since the juggler moves when tossing and receiving (move up and down), the movement makes the left hand to move in a counterclockwise direction, while the right hand moves in a clockwise direction. In the 3-ball cascade, the unevenness of movement in the performer’s physical center must be curtailed to establish stability. The body stability during juggling depends on the flow and movement of the center mass. It was affirmed that in multiple body sessions during games and artisanship exhibitions, a lower level of development influences the smooth and stable movement of the entire body (Nishiyori, Bisconti, & Ulrich, 2016). Carius et al. (2016) affirmed that the inconstancy of both physical center of the body and arm swing of a master tennis player is limited and the longitudinal flow combines with fixed designs. Similarly, in the 3-ball cascade juggling, the hands control the ball. The ball control requires the steadiness of both physical center of the body and juggler’s arm swing (Ichikawa, Miwa, & Terai, 2014).
Evidence from Previous Studies and Videos
The outcome demonstrated that the constancy of arm swing is built from the stability of the body’s physical focus. This infers two kinds of abilities, global and traditional quality in performing the 3-ball cascade juggling (Nishiyori et al., 2016). The outcome from existing videos and research revealed that the learning process requires patience, coordination, and motivation (Mapelli et al., 2012). Thus, the stability of the body arm swing increases with the development of the training sessions. These discoveries infer the likelihood that body development and attention are significantly related (Ichikawa et al., 2014). This paper proposes an instructional program for motor development that reveals the psychological components essential at each learning phase.
