Team Sports Training: The Complexity Model presents a novel
approach to team sports training, examining football (soccer),
rugby union, field hockey, basketball, handball and futsal through
the paradigm of complexity. Under a traditional prism, these sports
have been analysed using a deterministic perspective, where the
constituent dimensions of the sportsmen were independently examined
and treated in isolation. It was expected that the body worked as a
perfect machine and, once all the components were maximised, the
sportsmen improved their performance. If the same closed recipe was
applied to all of the players who formed part of the squad, the
global team performance was expected to be enhanced. As much as
these reductionist models seem coherent, when contrasted in
practice we see that the reality of team sports is far more
different from the closed conditions in which they were idealised.
Team sports contain variable, heterogeneous and non-linear
constraints which require the development of a different logic to
organise their training. During the last few years, ecological
psychology, the dynamical systems theory or the constraints-led
approach have opened interesting fields of research from which many
conceptual foundations can be applied to team sports. Based on this
contemporary framework, the current book presents the study of the
players and the teams as complex systems, using coordination
dynamics to explain the emergence of the self-organisation episodes
that characterise them. In addition, this thinking line provides
the reader with the ability to apply all of these innovative
concepts to their practical training scenarios. Altogether, it is
intended to challenge the reader to re-think their training
strategy and to develop an original theory and practice of training
specific to team sports.
