The most used definitions of creativity refer to obtaining a valuable and original product or behavior, a novel outcome, differentiating the process from product. However, several researchers closer to movement-based practices and sports have questioned this separation between the process and the product, introducing the concept of exploratory behavior. Considered an essential component of creativity, exploration could be defined as the nonlinear dynamics process of searching for functional movement solutions. Exploratory dynamics has been measured by quantifying the rate of change and variety of movement configurations at different time scales under specific constraints of each performer or team. Therefore, exploratory activity strongly depends on the constraints imposed on the system, which can be used as a training strategy. The manipulation of task constraints to enhance exploratory behavior should force performers or teams to move beyond their habitual behaviors and explore new action possibilities. They will emerge from nonlinear interaction between the intrinsic dynamics of the creator and environmental constraints. Different analytical tools have been developed to evaluate exploratory behavior in sports, fostering the study of the best strategies to improve exploration and creativity. Technology development can be vital to finding faster ways to quantify exploratory behavior and use it as a training tool.
