Handbook of Embodied Cognition and Sport Psychology
The first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists considers the mind–body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. This landmark work is the first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists that considers the mind–body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. With twenty-six chapters by leading researchers, the book connects and integrates findings from fields that range from philosophy of mind to sociology of sports. The chapters show not only that sports can tell scientists how the human mind works but also that the scientific study of the human min...
Back to the Zone
For athletes in any sport: a guide to entering “the Zone” at will “The Zone” is that quasi-mystical state achieved only rarely by athletes, when everything flows effortlessly and you can do no wrong. Unfortunately, we enter the Zone seemingly at random, when it is least expected. The great hope of all competitors is to be able to summon the Zone at will. Toward this end, Back to the Zone breaks the Zone down into its many components and helps the athlete optimize each one: balance, absorption, clarity, feedback, concentration, control, loss of self-consciousness, imagination, positive thoughts, energy, self-esteem, meditation, and quiet mind. Ultimately, Damien Lafont shows us that r...
Interceptive Actions in Sport
Dynamic interceptive actions are those actions for which the body, or an implement, must be moved into the right place at the right time in order to accomplish a task. These actions are particularly prevalent in sport, for example reaching to catch a ball or running towards a target to make a tackle. This book is the first to offer a comprehensive review of existing theoretical research on dynamic interceptive actions, as well as close examination of specific, practical applications. The book includes material on: * catching * wielding tennis rackets * putting in golf * controlling and kicking a soccer ball. It is essential reading for anybody with a close interest in motor learning and control or skill acquisition, and will be of interest to students of sport psychology, movement science and coaching science.
Adaptability of Human Gait
A large number of volumes have been produced summarizing the work on generation and control of rhythmic movements, in particular locomotion. Unfortunately most of them focus on locomotor studies done on animals. This edited volume redresses that imbalance by focusing completely on human locomotor behaviour. The very nature of the problem has both necessitated and attracted researchers from a wide variety of disciplines ranging from psychology, neurophysiology, kinesiology, engineering, medicine to computer science. The different and unique perspectives they bring to this problem provide a comprehensive picture of the current state of knowledge on the generation and regulation of human locomo...
Studies in Perception and Action V
This edited volume features papers from the 10th Int'l Conf on Perception & Action held by the ISEP in Edinburgh, Scotland 8/99. It offers a cross-section of leading research and a mini history on the ecological approach to perception & action.
Studies in Perception and Action VI
This book is the sixth volume in the "Studies in Perception and Action" series and contains a collection of posters presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Perception and Action. The series provides a written record of the research presented at the poster sessions to help spur dialog among researchers at the conference and to provide a reference source afterward. Each volume presents new research, almost always at the cutting edge of the discipline, and gives a special place to younger scientists whose work contains the seeds which will determine the future growth and direction of the discipline. Studies in Perception and Action VI offers the reader not just a cross-section of leading research at a given point in time, but a mini-history of ecological psychology and its development.
Trends in Learning Research
Learning as used here, refers to concerted activity that increases the capacity and willingness of individuals, groups, organisations and communities to acquire and productively apply new knowledge and skills, to grow and mature and to adapt successfully to changes and challenges. Such learning empowers individuals and organisations to make wise choices, solve problems and break new ground. In particular, it is sustainable, it is a lifelong, renewable process for people and for the institutions that serves people. Learning certainly includes academic studies and occupational training through high school and beyond but also encompasses the physical, cognitive, emotional and social development of children in the earliest years of their lives. This book presents new research in this explosive field.
Des nouvelles d'Oran
Ces chroniques sont pour la plupart issues du blog sur Oran que j'ai tenu entre 2012 et 2013. Je les ai souvent remaniées - et parfois réécrites - pour les adapter au format du livre. Elles n'ont pas pour vocation de découvrir Oran - qui est une ville insondable - mais plutôt de se promener dans le temps pour rencontrer des lieux, des dates, des personnages et des traditions qui m'ont frappé. C'est une déambulation subjective.
