Coordination

Bernstein said, “Coordination is overcoming excessive degrees of freedom of our movement organs, that is, turning the movement organs into controllable systems.”
Gibson said, “Actions emergent in the temporary couplings formed among the individual and the environment.”
Newell said, Coordination can be viewed as the function that constrain the potentially free variables (DoF) of a system into a behavioral unit (movement solution)”
Coordination is a property of the solution that emerges from each individuals movement system in response to the constraints the system is facing.
