Learning in sports and physical education can be understood through enactive and ecological psychology. The enactive perspective emphasizes sense-making and sensorimotor schemes, while natural learning environments support human development. Research methods like neurophenomenology and self-confrontation interviews reveal the meanings, sensations, and emotions performers experience. The ecological approach focuses on attunement, calibration, education of intention, and representative experimental designs. The paper compares both approaches and advocates for a common project combining their main elements.
