Open vs. closed skill sports and the modulation of inhibitory control.

<h4>Background</h4>Inhibitory control, or the ability to suppress planned but inappropriate prepotent actions in the current environment, plays an important role in the control of human performance. Evidence from empirical studies utilizing a sport-specific design has shown that athletes...
