Regarding the notions of implicit and explicit learning:

• An expert can always transfer their motor skills to any other sport

• Positive transfer means that a task does not compromise the learning of a new task

• Zero transfer occurs when the athlete fails to perform the new task to be learned

The dynamic theory supports that:
