The acquisition of soccer skills is fundamental to our enjoyment of the game and is essential to the attainment of expertise. Players spend most of their time in practice with the intention of improving technical skills. However, there is a lack of…

We examined the effectiveness of different cueing conditions during observational learning of a soccer accuracy pass. Sixty participants (30 males, 30 females) were randomly assigned and stratified by sex into one of six groups: discovery learning,…
-
Skilled perceptual-cognitive performance is assumed to require superior anticipation, yet few researchers have explored how individual differences in processing measures mediate superior performance, particularly when characteristics of the task are…

This article uses the Karhunen-Loève decomposition (KL) technique, also known as proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) or principal component analysis (PCA), to introduce the concept of gait mode, which can be used as a tool to identify gait…
-
The relative effectiveness of explicit instruction, guided discovery, and discovery learning techniques in enhancing anticipation skill in young, intermediate-level tennis players was examined. Performance was assessed pre- and postintervention,…
-
Symmetry is assumed in unilateral gait studies or when pooling right and left limb data. The purpose of this study was to identify which muscle powers and associated mechanical energies were related to the support and propulsion functions using…
-
Relative motion plots are the most prevalent method for displaying interjoint coupling. The method, however, is limited when amplitude and timing comparisons of like data are of interest. Another limitation of relative motion plots is that the…

Brief survey of the motivations, fundamentals, and applications of artificial neural networks, as well as some detailed analytical expressions for their theory
-
The perceptual - cognitive information used to support pattern-recognition skill in soccer was examined. In experiment 1, skilled players were quicker and more accurate than less-skilled players at recognising familiar and unfamiliar soccer action…
-
In this study, we examined the visual search strategies used during observation of video and point-light display models. We also assessed the relative effectiveness of video and point-light models in facilitating the learning of task outcomes and…
-
Multivariate gait data have traditionally been challenging to analyze. Part 1 of this review explored applications of fuzzy, multivariate statistical and fractal methods to gait data analysis. Part 2 extends this critical review to the applications…
-
Anticipation skill in tennis was examined using realistic film simulations, movement-based response measures, and a portable eye movement recording system. Skilled players were faster than their less skilled counterparts in anticipating the…

Report of the first phase of a research program on visual perception of motion patterns characteristic of living organisms in locomotion. Such motion patterns in animals and men are termed here as biological motion. In everyday perceptions, the…
-
Biological motion contains information about the identity of an agent as well as about his or her actions, intentions, and emotions. The human visual system is highly sensitive to biological motion and capable of extracting socially relevant…
-
We used a novel methodological approach to examine skill-based differences in anticipation and visual search behaviour during the penalty kick in soccer. Expert and novice goalkeepers were required to move a joystick in response to penalty kicks…
-
The authors examined 13 skilled and 12 novice tennis performers' ability to use visual information of an opponent's movement pattern to anticipate and respond. In Experiment 1, skilled and novice players anticipated the type of stroke and the…

Objectives: The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to the theoretical, practical, and methodological advantages of applying cognitive models to sports decisions. The use of sequential sampling models, in particular, is motivated…

This paper reviews developments in informetrics between 2000 and 2006. At the beginning of the 21st century we witness considerable growth in webometrics, mapping and visualization and open access. A new topic is comparison between citation…
