Finally, the sporting task or situation that the player is responding to may have specific postural characteristics.For example, a netball player must remain relatively erect to read player movements and catch or intercept a pass. In contrast, an ice hockey player adopts a lower center of mass as a result of where the puck is played(on the ice as opposed to in the air) as well as to increase the length of reach and protect the puck when in possession. Although both players may have similar body types and coordination,the demands of the sport may determine which COD movement strategy is most likely to result in a superior COD movement performance.
