But it was Brazil, home to Pelé, Garrincha, Rivelino, Jairzinho, Zico, and numerous other mononymous artists of the turf, that turned it into "the beautiful game" — a rarefied version of the sport characterized by effortless movement, intricate dribbling skills, and spectacular goals.
Posture is intimately related to movement, and we need many subtly modulated postures to maximize effortless movement.
Federer's body is a marvel of engineering, all parts clicking when it matters to give the impression of effortless movement.
Like Tiger in his youth (and Johnny Miller and Tom Watson early in their careers), he makes a mighty swipe, involving lots of moving parts, that is so well synchronized it looks like one flowing, effortless movement.
A built-in linear equalizer enables you to fine-tune the frequency to suit your activity, while a unique input switching function enables effortless movement between four separate sources.
Near effortless movement built on the energy of the wind.
(It also helps that Federer's seemingly effortless movement means he rarely seems to perspire).
Interestingly, such physiological modulation was not observed during a mental-arithmetic task or during the mental simulation of an effortless movement (i.e. horizontal displacements of the wrist).
Therefore, our goal in the second control task was to observe whether the internal simulation of an effortless movement (i.e. a movement whose physical execution does not stimulate the ANS above the baseline level) activates the ANS and to compare the degree of this activation with that observed during imagined movements of the trunk and the legs.
"I was most impressed by its flowing, effortless movements," Han said in an interview with Martial Arts & Combat Sports magazine in 2001.
This premise is further supported by the finding that the ANS is not triggered during the mental simulation of effortless movements, i.e. wrist displacements.
