Description
Sport is an activity that requires the integration of several human abilities and processes. Using an action-theory approach, Hackfort (2006) discussed the interaction of multiple processes in the development of elite performance in sport. For example, looking at the development of expertise with sport in an action-theory perspective, it is possible to consider the affective (i.e., enjoyment, motivation) and social (i.e., interaction with others, isolation) benefits and costs associated with specific types of training and activities at different stages of development in sport. Action-theory focuses on the person, the task, and the environment (the action situation; Nitsch & Hackfort, 1981; Hackfort, 1986), taking into account the cognitive, affective, and social aspects of sport performance (Hackfort, 2006). The physical processes involved in sport are obvious and include learning fundamental movement skills such as running, throwing, kicking, and catching, as well as more complex sport-specific skills such as serving in tennis and shooting in basketball. All sport activities also require a high degree of cognitive-perceptual ability, such as the capacity to perceive various stimuli and make appropriate decisions during games and performances. Furthermore, affective abilities, such as staying motivated and monitoring emotions, are needed to successfully perform sporting activities. Finally, all sporting activities take place in a social environment and necessitate, among other things, the ability to interact effectively with coaches, parents, and peers. Action-theory provides an integrative framework for the analysis and development of elite performance in sport.
