Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last 25 years, a constraints-based framework has helped to inform the way that many sport scientists seek to understand performance, learning design and the development of expertise and talent in sport. The Constraints-Led Approach: Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design provides students and practitioners with the theoretical knowledge required to implement constraints-led approaches in their work. Seeking to bridge the divide between theory and practice, the book sets out an ‘environment design framework’, including practical tools and guidance for the application of the framework in coaching and skill acquisition settings. It includes chapters on constraints-led approaches in golf, athletics and hockey, and provides applied reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of motor learning, skill acquisition and developing sport expertise. Providing a thorough grounding in the theory behind constraints-led approaches to skill acquisition, and a foundational cornerstone in the Routledge Studies in Constraints-Based Methodologies in Sport series, this is a vital pedagogical resource for students and practising sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport scientists alike.

It explores the significance of legal, regulatory and cultural differences, and draws lessons in terms of best practice and enforcement for legal and sporting authorities around the world. Including key insights from players, the betting industry, law enforcement and prosecution authorities, it discusses the strengths and weakness of current anti-corruption strategies in the three jurisdictions. Match-Fixing in Sport: Comparative Studies from Australia, Japan, Korea and Beyond offers important insights for all students and scholars with an interest in sport studies, law, criminology and Asian studies.

Download or read book Team Coordination and Cognition in Basketball from Theory to Practice written by Carlos López Calbet and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the half court offence 5v5 is, by far, the most developed during the match, it is crucial that the players acquire a high strategical and tactical knowledge which propitiates an intelligent decision making process in a hostile environment which changes constantly. Developing a smart game depends, in the first place, on the intelligence of the player (Duprat, 2014) but, when does the player show intelligent behaviour? He shows it when he knows what to do, how to do it, when to act and with whom to act, according to the changing conditions of the game (Ruíz, Gutiérrez, Graupera, Linaza and Navarro, 2001). But five intelligent players are not enough to develop and intelligent game. The intelligent game consists of playing for the benefit of the team. Each player agrees to act for a team objective. He must understand that the individual action is part of a global process that turns into a team effectiveness (López Ros, 2011). Developing an intelligent game requires all the players must learn to cooperate and coordinate their behaviour since a team strategy can only work if each player acts reliably and contributes to the common goal (Gréhaigne, 2014). It is needed that the members of the team act concertedly to achieve the team objectives. The coordination appears when the players synchronise and adjust their behaviour among them to work as a coherent team. This requires the adaptation of each player to the partners and the opponent's actions (Passos and Chow, 2016). Focusing on the half court offence, achieving an autonomous, intelligent and coordinated behavior of the five players at the same time is the most complicated task that we face the teachers of this sport. In order to guarantee this necessary coordination, coaches design set plays in which it is indicated what each player has to do. However, this way of proceeding does not allow players to act autonomously, or to develop an intelligence about the game. So how can we achieve an autonomous, intelligent and coordinated behavior of the five players at the same time? Contributing to the answers to this question is the aim of this book.

Book excerpt: Soccer is the biggest game in the world and has proved to be an unprecedented phenomenon of social impact, inhabiting a prominent place in the daily lives of millions of human beings, a game that has impact even in the most remote places. In an ever-changing world of soccer coaching and tactics, player intelligence has become increasingly important, providing the essential ability to act effectively in a given moment.

This book is designed to help those who devote much of their time to improving the quality of the game, by coaching and training highly informed, creative and intelligent players. These coaches devote their time and energy to improve players’ and teams’ performances. In turn, match analysts, physiotherapists, psychologists, clinicians and the sport science team dedicate themselves to optimize resources that help boost the performance levels of the players, the coaches and the team. Football Intelligence: Training and Tactics for Soccer Success presents procedures and ideas that, besides assisting in the task of evaluating the tactical performance of soccer players and teams, also allows improving their expression throughout the learning and training phase.
