“…33 For example, a practitioner may overconstrain players, 34 encourage excessive time in isolated activity rather than appropriate contextualisation, 35,36 utilise both implicit and explicit methods in combination thereby neutralising the effect of the implicit learning technique, 26 or adopt a 'the game is the teacher' mentality where appropriate coaching is prohibited. 37,38 To be clear, we are not opposed to efforts at integration; rather, we wish to emphasise that without due care, abstracting parts of different pedagogies can result in fragmented and mutated 'folk pedagogies' 39 : incoherent assumptions about learning and coaching which can be difficult for coach development to overcome. [40][41][42] Lindsay and Spittle offer their set of guiding principles to integrate the theoretical approaches; that is, to combine and/ or move between coaching strategies associated with the different theoretical approaches as the circumstances demand.…”

“…Further opportunities exist to develop these technologies with knowledge from other disciplines such as agriculture, city planning and the military (Table 1 ). However, as observations are embedded in context, the measurement and collection of reliable constraint data is required to take place without losing the validity required for scientific rigour and thereby aid in promoting experimental representative design [ 107 ].…”

“…One criticism leveraged at ecological dynamics points towards its complexity, with research to date being largely conceptual or performed in a laboratory [ 114 ]. The measurement of constraints in practice has often been reductionist in approach [ 107 ], emphasising either one or two constraints that are measured in isolation [ 32 ]. This can provide rigour in relation to the methodological approach; however, it is less representative of the environment being explored [ 107 ].…”

Methodological Considerations for Furthering the Understanding of Constraints in Applied Sports

et al. 2021

Commonly classified as individual, task or environmental, constraints are boundaries which shape the emergence of functional movement solutions. In applied sport, an ongoing challenge is to improve the measurement, analysis and understanding of constraints to key stakeholders. Methodological considerations for furthering these pursuits should be centred around an interdisciplinary approach. This integration of methodology and knowledge from different disciplines also encourages the sharing of encompassing principles, concepts, methods and data to generate new solutions to existing problems. This narrative review discusses how a number of rapidly developing fields are positioned to help guide, support and progress an understanding of sport through constraints. It specifically focuses on examples from the fields of technology, analytics and perceptual science. It discusses how technology is generating large quantities of data which can improve our understanding of how constraints shape the movement solutions of performers in training and competition environments. Analytics can facilitate new insights from numerous and complex data through enhanced non-linear and multivariate analysis techniques. The role of the perceptual sciences is discussed with respect to generating outputs from analytics that are more interpretable for the end-user. Together, these three fields of technology, analytics and perceptual science may enable a more comprehensive understanding of constraints in sports performance.

Talent development in sport is a comprehensive area of research with various conceptualisations of how the body moves and how skills are developed. The sports coaching environment is often criticised for a lack of evidence-based approaches to talent development, driven by limited access to appropriate sources of information. The current conceptualisation of motor learning, which harnesses dynamical systems theory and ecological psychology, is a complex and underdeveloped area in sport. Recommendations for talent development are often lost in complex pedagogies, so there is high demand for practical information on the translation of this knowledge. At its core, ecological dynamics views the body as a complex system which can reorganise to solve challenging problems in different ways, and emphasises that personal experiences, the task and the environment are all interacting. The specific elements of nonlinear development (person), representative learning design (task) and the talent development pathway (environment) are key elements for cricket coaching that are yet to be synthesised for the coaches who provide early learning experiences.
