The left column in the table includes the main components of LMA. Each component includes several factors/categories of motor qualities which are described in the middle column of the table. Each factor describes the continuum between two extremes. In Effort, one extreme fights against the motor quality of that factor and the other extreme indulges in that quality. The right column in the table depicts the specific motor elements that constitute those extremes. For example, one of the motor qualities which describe the Effort that is invested in the movement is the Flow of the movement. When the movement is Bound there is a feeling of fighting against the flow of the movement; when the movement is Free, it creates a flow in the movement.
