Hey there future sports science pro!๐ Let's dive into the fascinating world of how humans process information while performing sports skills. Get ready to learn about the Black Box Model and how it helps us understand the complexities of information processing in sports!
๐๐พ Open skills are those performed in complex environments, like in soccer or field hockey where there are multiple players, referees, and other elements (e.g., ball, goals, line markings, spectators, coaches). These situations demand that athletes process loads of information to make split-second decisions.
๐พ Example: In tennis, when a player is receiving a serve, they have to consider the opponent's serve type (observing their limbs and body position), the speed and direction of the serve, any spin, wind speed and direction, and their own position on the court. All these factors influence their decision on how to return the serve.
๐ง Big Question: How do we humans handle all this information and make quick decisions? Psychologists have been puzzled by this for years.
