Skills of whole-body coordination balance sport "slackline": Generating hypotheses based on empirical knowledge and testing it

Abstract

In the practical field of slacklining, a balance sport, instructors tell their empirical knowledge based on their personal embodied experience to beginners. The present study tries generating hypotheses from their empirical knowledge and testing it quantitatively. We conducted a preliminary experiment to examine the hypothesis. We report the results and discuss the current approach to skill science.
