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.
This book presents the latest developments of Systems Thinking in
Practice to the analysis and design of complex sociotechnical
systems. The Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork (EAST) method is
applied to micro, meso and macro systems. Written by experts in the
field, this text covers a diverse range of domains, including:
automation, aviation, energy grid distribution, military command
and control, road and rail transportation, sports, and urban
planning. Extensions to the EAST method are presented along with
future directions for the approach. Illustrates a contemporary
review of the status of Distributed Cognition (DCOG) Presents
examples of the application of Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork
(EAST) method Presents examples of the application of Event
Analysis of Systemic Teamwork (EAST) method Discusses the metrics
for the examination of social, task, and information networks
Provides comparison of alternative networks with implications for
design of DCOG in systems
This book describes cutting-edge applications of human factors for
sport and outdoor recreation disciplines and provides practical
guidance on a range of methods for describing, representing, and
evaluating human, team, and system performance in sports domains.
Contributions in this book show how various human factors methods,
applied historically in the complex safety critical domains, are
suited to describing and understanding sports performance and
sports injury prevention. The book discusses a wealth of methods
for different purposes, such as data collection, task analysis
(including cognitive task analysis), workload measurement,
assessing situation awareness, performance assessment (including
team performance assessment), decision making and cognition in
sports, human error identification, and interface evaluation
methods. With respect to other publications in human factors and
ergonomics, which have been more focused on the biomechanical,
physiological, environmental, and equipment-related aspects of
sports performance, this book gives a special emphasis to research
on analysis of individual and team sports, cognitive and social
human factors, and covers both sports and outdoor recreation
disciplines. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on
Human Factors in Sports and Outdoor Recreation, held on July 27-31,
2016, in Walt Disney World (R), Florida, USA, this book provides
readers with a timely survey of new methods that can be implemented
during any sport or outdoor recreation event for analyzing and
improving the performance and safety of both individuals and teams.
Whether used for aviation, manufacturing, oil and gas
extraction, energy distribution, nuclear or fossil fuel power
generation, surveillance or security, all control rooms share two
common features. The people operating them are often remote from
the processes that they are monitoring and controlling and the
operations work 24/7. The twin demands of remote and continuous
operation place special considerations on the design of central
control rooms. Human Factors in the Design and Evaluation of
Central Control Room Operations provides an analysis of Human
Factors and Ergonomics in this complex area and the implications
for control room staff. This information contained within this book
can then be used to design, assessed and evaluate control
rooms.
Taking an integrated approach to Human Factors and Ergonomics in
the control room environment, the book presents fourteen human
factors topics: competencies, training, procedures, communications,
workload, automation, supervision, shift patterns, control room
layout, SCADA interfaces, alarms, control room environment, human
error, and safety culture. Although there are many resources
available on each of these topics, this book the information
together under one cover with a focus on central control room
operations. Each chapter is self-contained and can be read in any
order, as the information is required.
Many mental health clinicians--even those well acquainted with
mindfulness--still view physical, body-oriented techniques as
outside their scope of practice. In this accessible book, clinical
psychologist, exercise physiologist, and yoga and mindfulness
teacher Paul Salmon gives therapists of any orientation the tools
to use mindful movement with clients. Salmon shows how simple
practices like breathing, walking, and yoga-like stretches can help
clients center their attention in the present moment with curiosity
and self-acceptance. He summarizes research on the benefits of
movement for specific mental and physical health conditions and
provides vivid case examples and scripts. Purchasers get access to
a companion website where they can download audio recordings of 29
guided practices.
