Abstract
In the field of physical activity and sports science, some controversy has currently been created by the term “sensorimotor”’ system, frequently simplified in error to the term of “proprioceptive system”. Incorporating all of the sensory (afferent), motor (efferent), and central integration and processing components, this system serves to maintain functional joint stability during body movements. The main objective of this review is to clarify the concepts related to the sensorimotor system and understand their importance in sports training, injury prevention and return-to-play.
