Example of one task run consisting of one block of each of the four movement tasks. One block of ballistic and stepwise movements consists of 4×5 cycles of flexion-extension and after each 5 cycles there is a short break of 2 seconds (‘+’). One block of steptrack movements consists of 4×10 steptracks, after each 10 steptracks there is a short break (‘+’) of 4 seconds. One block of circle movement consists of alternating cycles (each cycle consists of 10 consecutive circular movements) of counter clockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) circles (CCW-CW-CCW-CW-CCW), separated by a short break (‘−’) of 5 seconds. After each block of a movement task there is a rest (‘rest’) period of 35 seconds.
