350015 VU BD2III - Introduction to Collective Behavior in Team Sports (2023S)

In essence, team sports are defined by the collaborative and opposite relationship of two confronted teams, whose behaviours are determined by well-defined game objectives but in opposite directions. Thus, sports team performers often need to make decisions about where to move and when, and which actions to perform in uncertain and shifting environmental conditions.
In this topic, the dynamical systems approach to the identification of informational constraints that players use to regulate their tactical decisions within the teams’ collaborative work principles will be presented and discussed.
