Open Loop Theory This theory states the following: -Decisions are made in the brain -Information for one movement is sent in a single message -The muscles receive the message, where they then perform the movement. -Feedback may or may not be available but it doesn't control the action This theory accounts well for fast continuous movements (e.g. a golf swing), although it does not work so well for slower movements which may involve reactions and repositioning (such as a gymnast on the balance beam).

Closed Loop Theory On the other hand, this theory explains slow movements well but not fast movements. -Decisions are made in the brain -Information is sent to at different times -Information is received by the muscles to initiate the movement -Feedback is always available and is necessary for correction of movement patterns and to adjust to changing needs.
