During the course of any sporting event, critical cognitive and
physical tasks are performed within a dynamic, complex,
collaborative system comprising multiple humans and artifacts,
under pressurized, complex, and rapidly changing conditions. Highly
skilled, well-trained individuals walk a fine line between task
success and failure, with only slightly inadequate task execution
leading to the latter. Promoting cross-disciplinary interaction
between the human factors and sports science disciplines, Human
Factors Methods and Sports Science: A Practical Guide provides
practical guidance on a range of methods for describing,
representing, and evaluating human, team, and system performance in
sports domains. Traditionally, the application of human factors and
ergonomics methods in sports has focused on the biomechanical,
physiological, environmental, and equipment-related aspects of
sports performance. However, various human factors methods, applied
historically in the complex safety critical domains, are suited to
describing and understanding sports performance. This book
delineates the similarities in the concepts requiring investigation
within sports and the more typical human factors domains. The
book's focus on cognitive and social human factors methods rather
than mainly on the application of physiological ergonomics
approaches sets it apart from other books in either field. It
covers eight categories of human factor methods: data collection,
task analysis, cognitive task analysis, human error identification,
situation awareness measurement, workload measurement, team
performance assessment, and interface evaluation methods.
Constructed so that each chapter can be read non-linearly and
independently from one another, the book provides an introduction
and overview to each Human Factors topic area, and of each method
discussed, along with practical guidance on how to apply them. It
also includes detailed descriptions of the different methods,
example applications, and theoretical rationale. This allows the
concepts to be easily found and digested, and the appropriate
method to be easily selected and applied.
