The harmony - cooperation of WHAT and HOW in motion

In most cases we deal with conditioned reflexes and motion patterns. We already saw that the voluntary and reflex are always mixed and conditioned reflex also always mixed with unconditioned. We investigated the recapitulation theory of motor control and fractal biomechanics of natural motion. We also know that HOW express itself mostly via WHAT – please see the chapter “The HOW in motion – how it looks like”. Now we do the next step in our research and will investigate the method of cooperation of HOW and WHAT. This cooperation is of utmost importance. Good cooperation will result in harmony in motions but the poor one will cause the motion to be awkward, inefficient and harmful to our health and well-being.  

What is a difference between WHAT and HOW in motion?

In my conversations with practitioners and coaches of all kinds of practices, systems and arts based on motion I often see misunderstanding of the difference between what I call “what” and “how”. These two words reveal our reference to the physical motion. We intuitively fell that every motion has both “what” and “how”, but there is a need to define and analyze it in more formal way.
