The current study investigated whether path selection of athletes specifically trained to fit through gaps is affected by the location of human obstacle and the form of locomotion. Female rugby players were instructed to walk, walk with the ball, or run with the ball along a path toward a goal while avoiding three obstacles (three vertical poles or two vertical poles and a confederate) placed halfway along the path, creating two equal apertures of 80 cm. Regardless of the form of locomotion, rugby players chose paths furthest from the confederate, suggesting that confederate location affects path selection. Furthermore, medial-lateral spatial requirements were more variable when participants were walking without the ball than while moving with the ball. Avoidance behaviors, but not path selection, appear to be impacted and minimized during sport-specific movements.
当前的研究调查了专门训练以穿过间隙的运动员的路径选择是否会受到人类障碍物位置和运动形式的影响。研究人员指示女性橄榄球运动员沿着一条通向球门的路径行走、带球行走或带球奔跑，同时避开放置在路径中途的三个障碍物（三根垂直杆或两根垂直杆和一名同谋者），从而形成两个80厘米的相等孔径。无论运动形式如何，橄榄球运动员都选择离同谋者最远的路径，这表明同谋者的位置会影响路径选择。此外，与带球移动时相比，参与者空手行走时的内侧-外侧空间需求变化更大。在特定运动动作中，回避行为而非路径选择似乎会受到影响并降至最低。
