Optimizing risk in action: Differences between fixated aim points and movement outcomes in throwing by Stephan Zahno, Damian Beck, Ralf Kredel, André Klostermann, Ernst-Joachim Hossner

“…Intriguingly, the shifts in the ball’s actual impact location were not only significantly larger (“more conservative”) but also closer to the statistically optimal location compared to the initially fixated aim points. Analysis of movement trajectories shows that, in penalty conditions, the shifts away from the penalty zone increased progressively until the final phases of the movement. …”
