Description:
Offering a new set of theoretical and analytical tools for understanding elite sport, this book is the first to combine methods from analytics, complex systems theory, multi-disciplinary diagnostics and sports performance analysis. It considers sport as a multi-level complex system, with the athlete, team and sport organisation representing layers of a hierarchy, and explores how a synthesis of analytics and complexity - of quantitative and qualitative approaches - can give us a more sophisticated understanding of sport performance. This is illuminating reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner working in sport performance analysis, coaching science or sport management.
