This book offers a comprehensive overview on the methods and concepts of theoretical and practical performance analysis. Observational systems for action detection and tracking systems for position detection are introduced, starting from basic methodological principles. The issue of reliability testing is addressed for both methods, and examples of successful applications are provided. The distinction between theoretical and practical performance as essential conceptual achievement is explained in two separate chapters. Most recent theoretical models of game sports are presented, including the dynamical systems perspective, stochastic modelling, and contingency or chance as part of the game. The practical chapter introduces the concept of comprehensive performance analysis as appropriate background. It deals with qualitative methods used for assessing player and team performances, strategy development, and methods and principles of video tactic training for successful transfer of the results of analyses. The book will be of value to all with an interest in the dramatically increasing impact of performance analysis in game sports.

O livro é um enfrentamento e uma reflexão crítica sobre diferentes marcadores sociais estruturantes da nossa vida social (racismo, gênero, classe social, educação e saúde, esporte e lazer, entre outros). A obra se constitui de duas partes: na primeira, quatro personalidades que transcendem suas especificidades disciplinares, com reconhecimento nacional e internacional, discorrem sobre os temas e questões sociais fundamentais e uma segunda em que pesquisadores das ciências do esporte trazem o conhecimento avançado de seus grupos de trabalho na tentativa de estimular o pensamento crítico e o engajamento ao pensamento democrático.

How has sport education evolved since its reintegration into the Ministry of Education in 1981? One of the objectives of this book is to present a problematised assessment of the transformations of PE by questioning not only the institutional and disciplinary stakes, but also the cultural and epistemological stakes and, finally, the socio-professional dimensions of the choices made over the past forty years.Quelle évolution quantitative et qualitative de l’enseignement de l’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) depuis sa réintégration au ministère de l’Éducation nationale en 1981 ? Un des objectifs de ce nouveau volume de la collection « Sport, acteurs et représentations » est de présenter un bilan problématisé des transformations de l’enseignement de l’EPS en interrogeant les enjeux non seulement institutionnels et disciplinaires, mais aussi culturels et épistémologiques et, enfin, les dimensions socio-professionnelles des choix entrepris depuis quarante ans. Il s’agit notamment de savoir si le retour de l’EPS dans le giron de l’Éducation nationale s’apparente plutôt à une chance ou à une contrainte pour les acteurs de cette discipline considérée comme authentiquement scolaire : comment et dans quelle mesure les enseignements dispensés répondent-ils aux nécessités institutionnelles et/ou à l’évolution des « temps hypermodernes » ?

Why do you lean in a bend? Why does a sprinter slow down before the finish line? Why do golf balls have dimples? Why do you swim better slightly underwater? Why, on a bike, the faster you go, the more stable you are? Why shouldn’t you rely on doping tests too much? Is there a law of evolution of records? These are some of the 40 questions that Amandine Aftalion answers in this book using simple physics and mathematics, and some humor. Not only will it allow you to improve yourself in sports, but it will also give way to understanding how champions do. An easy book to read and the must to have if you are a sports addict or if you watch sports on TV and ask yourself “why?”. Amandine Aftalion is a French mathematician. She is a CNRS senior scientist and graduated from École normale supérieure in Paris. She has given talks all over the world, as a specialist of models coming from low temperature physics. She has written a book on vortices in Bose–Einstein condensates. More recently, she has used energy minimization to study an optimal control problem coming from human energy: optimizing running. She has written papers on sports aimed at coaches. Part of her latest results have inspired the first chapter of this book. She is the producer and director of a French YouTube channel for the popularization of mathematics, Videodimath, elected as one of the 5 best French YouTube channels for popular mathematics.
