Overview of key definitions based on Cowin et al. [25]. Movement strategy: The kinematically or kinetically distinct and classifiable motor solution used during the execution of the task. For example, kinematically or visually defined movement strategies may be categorized as a crossover cut or sidestep. In contrast, kinetically defined movement strategies may be described categorically as “knee-dominant” or “hip-dominant” as indicated by the red circles. Further, some movement strategies may be defined by clustering a combination of kinematic and kinetic variables depending on the author's or practitioner's definitions. Strategic variability: “Describes the different approaches or methods of movement used to complete a task.” Strategic variability is discussed and described over multiple efforts or trials of the same task or how many different movement strategies are used to complete the same task. Movement execution: The magnitude and distribution of joint kinetics or kinematics of a performed trial or effort within a movement strategy. Execution variability: “Describes the intentional and unintentional adjustments of the body between repetitions within the same strategy”
