Geert J.P. Savelsbergh is professor of perceptual-motor development and learning at the Institute for Biomedical research into Human Movement and Health, Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom, and at the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, The VU University in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He has special interest in the visual regulation of movements. His current research involves perceptual-motor learning and performance in sport (e.g. visual search in soccer and badminton; visual attention training in Volleyball, in the stopping of a penalty kick in soccer or penalty corner in hockey); the use of visual information in the movement behaviour of special groups, like children with Cerebra Palsy. He is editor in Chief of Infant Behavior and Development and associate editor of International Journal of Sport Psychology. Recent he received an honorary doctorate at the University of Ghent in Belgium for his scientific curriculum and expertise in the field of motor control, the successful translation from scientific expertise to the applied fields of Human Movement and Sports Sciences.
