Overview
In sports, athletes are identified for and enrolled in clubs at an early age and athletes are trained in a system organized based on chronological age irrespective of the level the sports is practiced at. Thus, understanding how young children’s motor and cognitive processes develop in and through sports and predicting how these are related to (future) sports performance and expertise is of practical relevance. Examining movement, cognition, and performance in sports from a developmental perspective is also theoretically important for understanding motor-cognitive and performance interactions. Importantly, development covers both inter-individual age-effects as well as intra-individual changes across time.
The aim of this special issue is to present readers with emerging research on the development of movement, cognition, and performance in sports. In particular, we aim to deepen the theoretical understanding of motor-cognitive and expertise development in the context of sports with a main focus on childhood and adolescence. Thereby we refer to the bidirectional relation of movement and cognition as well as to the motor-cognitive development in and through sport and exercise. By focusing mainly on children and adolescents, we address motor-cognitive and performance prerequisites early that might predict the future route to expertise in sports. Studying children and adolescence will allow to draw conclusions for coaches, teachers, educators, or parents with respect to when to focus on which aspects movement, cognition, and performance.
Topics for the current special issue include but are not limited to:
Theoretical mechanisms explaining cognitive-motor interactions (e.g., embodied cognition theories, motor control theories)
Motor-cognitive development (e.g., during childhood and adolescence)
Performance and expertise development (e.g., during childhood and adolescence, in high-performance sports, talent identification and development)
Methodological advancements through longitudinal and training studies depicting individual development
Advancements in the measurements and analyses of cognitive (e.g., cognitive modeling) and motor processes (e.g., movement analyses)
