| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research project was to elucidate how information on the gravitational space obtained from a sensory system, with a central focus on equilibrium sensors, affects motor performances. In addition, we explored the possibility of enhancing motor performances through obtained knowledge. We performed motor tasks of reaching, prehension, and throwing. We found that the motor performances were modified, regardless of whether special attention was paid to those tasks, by depending on the relative direction of the gravity and movements, or by the condition of the surrounding environment. This result leads us to believe that the cognitive process arising due to the perception of the gravitational space does not produce negligible effects, and this was suggested to be a factor in enhancing the training efficiency.
