The action type approach(ATA) is a series of pseudoscientific mental exercises founded by Ralph Hippolyte and Bertrand Théraulaz in 1989 that purport to increase physical performance in athletes.
Content
ATA seems to be a collection of supposedly brain-based practices, including learning styles, and movements reminiscent of Brain Gym. This model seeks to provide insight into the training of athletes "to take it to the next level," by integrating "natural movement". Unfortunately, no research articles could be found on this method, and requests to the creators and leading advocates resulted in no other sources of research evidence.
