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.
