Complex systems in nature are those with many interacting parts,
all capable of influencing global system outcomes. There is a
growing body of research that has modeled sport performance from a
complexity sciences perspective, studying the behavior of
individual athletes and sports teams as emergent phenomena which
self-organise under interacting constraints. This book is the first
to bring together experts studying complex systems in the context
of sport from across the world to collate core theoretical ideas,
current methodologies and existing data into one comprehensive
resource. It offers new methods of analysis for investigating
representative complex sport movements and actions at an individual
and team level, exploring the application of methodologies from the
complexity sciences in the context of sports performance and the
organization of sport practice. Complex Systems in Sport is
important reading for any advanced student or researcher working in
sport and exercise science, sports coaching, kinesiology or human
movement.

Dynamics of Skill Acquisition, Second Edition, provides an analysis
of the processes underlying human skill acquisition. As the first
text to outline the multidisciplinary ecological dynamics framework
for understanding movement behavior, this heavily updated edition
stays on the cutting edge, with principles of nonlinear pedagogy
and methodologies from the constraints-led approach. Students and
practitioners across a variety of professions-including coaches,
physical educators, trainers, and rehabilitation specialists-will
appreciate the applied focus of this second edition. Movement
models throughout the text provide examples for visualizing task
constraints and enhancing the study and understanding of movement
behavior. Athletes and sports teams are presented as specific
complex adaptive systems, with information on designing learning
environments and adapting programs to foster skill development.
Readers will learn the historical evolution of dynamical systems
theory and the ecological dynamics framework. These foundational
concepts illustrate the integration between intentional action,
cognition, and decision making and their effects on performance and
behavior. Complex theoretical concepts are explained in simple
terms and related to practice, focusing on the implications of the
work of pioneering researchers such as Nikolai Bernstein, Egon
Brunswik, James Gibson, Scott Kelso, and Karl Newell. Case studies
written by practitioners contain specific examples of the
ecological dynamics framework in action, bringing theory to life.
By learning how to identify and manipulate key constraints that
influence learning skilled behavior, readers will gain insight into
practice designs for creating positive learning experiences that
enable individuals to develop and learn functional movements.
Throughout the book, learning features guide readers through
material with clear direction and focus to improve understanding.
Spotlight on Research sidebars provide detailed descriptions of
important studies to connect theory, research, and application. Lab
activities teach application skills beyond the content, ensuring
reader understanding. In addition, chapter objectives, self-test
questions, and Key Concept sidebars highlight important concepts in
each chapter. With the study of human movement now bridging many
disciplines, including motor development, psychology, biology, and
physical therapy, Dynamics of Skill Acquisition, Second Edition,
provides a timely analysis of the ecological dynamics framework and
presents a comprehensive model for understanding how coordination
patterns are assembled, controlled, and acquired. The theoretical
roots and development of the ecological dynamics framework provide
application strategies for all people with an interest in movement
coordination and control.
