Why coordination dynamics is relevant for studying sport performance

The role of coordination dynamics in understanding movement behaviour in sport is focused on identifying key parameters that describe system organization (order parameters), as well as variables that act as information to constrain the way that systems adapt to key environmental objects and events (control parameters). Coordination dynamics has been used to study human movement behaviour over the past three decades and more recently it has been applied to the study of performance in team games. This chapter reviews and summarizes current research in this area.
