Motor performance calls into play a number of complex physiological and biological systems. An understanding of the function and behavior of such systems is necessary if motor performance is to be properly analyzed and helpful if it is to be improved. The concepts of systems and control theory offer a powerful (though sometimes not fully exploited) methodological technique for achieving such an understanding. This paper discusses some of the elementary concepts of systems theory as applied to motor performance and presents qualitative discussions of its usefulness in that field.

Biochemical systems theory (BST) is the foundation for a set of analytical andmodeling tools that facilitate the analysis of dynamic biological systems. This paper depicts major developments in BST up to the current state of the art in 2012. It discusses its rationale, describes the typical strategies and methods of designing, diagnosing, analyzing, and utilizing BST models, and reviews areas of application. The paper is intended as a guide for investigators entering the fascinating field of biological systems analysis and as a resource for practitioners and experts.
