Other recent studies have also confirmed that pupils who play sports outside school hours reflect better flow in physical education classes. "Flow is probably a variable for predicting extra-curricular sport practice", maintains the expert.
Dispositional flow or good vibes
Flow is a state of conscience in which individuals become totally absorbed by what they are doing, to an extent where they manage to exclude every other thought or emotion. For the experts "it is a harmonious experience where mind and body work together without effort, and leave the person with the sensation that something special has happened". The frequency with which a subject tends to experience this state has been conceptualised as 'dispositional flow'.
The likelihood of experiencing flow depends on genetics and environmental stimuli. This is why social agents play such an important role.
