    A current approach to anticipation in sport
    (Estudios de Psicología = Studies in Psychology, 2018) José-Antonio Navia; Sergio López; Luis-Miguel Ruiz; Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje
    The classical cognitive concept of anticipation and timing (for example, reaction time) somewhat limits the study of sports actions under spatio-temporal pressure. The presence, duration and evolution of the infor- mation of the opponents, spatio-temporal pressure, the evolution of the athlete’s response movements or the degree of representativeness are some of the issues facilitating research into an anticipation that is better adjusted to the specific circumstances of interception tasks. This article proposes that temporalization of response actions is based on the balance between the spatio-temporal demands of the task, the athlete’s action capabilities and the evolution of the reliability of the available variables. In order to obtain good performance in these actions under pressure, individual perceptual differences and possible interactions with other information sources must also be considered.

    La pericia perceptivo-motriz y cognición en el deporte: del enfoque ecológico y dinámico a la enacción
    (Anales de psicología, 2014) Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; Luis M. Ruiz-Pérez; José A. Navia; Natalia Rioja; David Sanz
    En el presente artículo se discuten tres corrientes teóricas alternativas al cognitivismo, para explicar el desarrollo hacia la pericia en el ámbito del aprendizaje y del control motor en deporte, haciendo especial énfasis en el enactivismo. En la primera parte se tratan las principales nociones de la psicología ecológica, como la regulación del movimiento, la percepción directa o la reciprocidad entre percepción y acción. A continuación se explican las principales aportaciones de la teoría de los sistemas dinámicos a la comprensión de la coordinación del movimiento, de la emergencia de la motricidad y de la interacción de las diferentes variables o restricciones. En el siguiente apartado, se expone el enfoque enactivo como una extensión conceptual proveniente de las ciencias cognitivas y que trasciende a los otros paradigmas. Desde esta orientación, se aboga por una fusión entre el cuerpo y la mente del deportista que es indisociable al medio ambiente y que se opone al dualismo y reduccionismo imperante. Por último, se presentan algunas directrices y aplicaciones de investigaciones enactivas que en la actualidad están en pleno desarrollo.

    La mirada de los porteros de fútbol sala ante diferentes tipos de respuesta motriz
    (RICYDE. Revista Internacional de Ciencias del Deporte, 2013) José Antonio Navia; Luis Miguel Ruiz; José Luis Graupera Sanz; John Van der Kamp; Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; Cantó Alcaraz, Ramón
    En este estudio se exploró y analizó el comportamiento visual de un grupo de porteros expertos de fútbol sala con el objetivo de comprobar cómo el tipo de respuesta motriz solicitada influía en su comportamiento visual. Participaron 4 porteros a los que se les presentó un total de 48 clips de vídeo en una pantalla a tamaño real, bajo dos condiciones de respuesta: con movimiento de parada y sin movimiento de parada. Se registró su mirada con el pupilómetro ASL Mobile Eye durante dos condiciones de tiro de penalti. Se analizó la mirada en el intervalo de -250 a 205 ms en torno al disparo. Los resultados mostraron que cuando respondían con la acción habitual de parada, solo se encontraron fijaciones en la mitad de los casos, estas fijaciones eran de corta duración y localizadas principal- mente en la zona del suelo justo enfrente del balón. Por el contrario, cuando se mantenían en posición estática, su mirada se dirigía hacia la zona entre el balón y la pierna de apoyo, empleando fijaciones de una duración más larga. Se puede concluir que el comportamiento visual fue diferente entre las dos condiciones como resultado de la adaptación a las demandas espacio-temporales específicas de cada condición, ya que el grado de movimiento en la respuesta solicitada tuvo influencia en el comportamiento visual asociado.

    Self-control in aiming supports coping with psychological pressure in soccer penalty kicks
    (Frontiers in Psychology, 2019) Navia, José A.; Van der Kamp, John; Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; Aceituno, Jesús; Ibáñez, Sergio J.
    This study addressed the question whether coaches better allow athletes to self-control their decisions when under pressure or whether to impose a decision upon them. To this end, an experiment was conducted that manipulated the soccer kickers’ degree of control in decision-making. Two groups of elite under-19 soccer players (n = 18) took penalty kicks in a self-controlled (i.e., kickers themselves decided to which side to direct the ball) and an externally controlled condition (i.e., the decision to which side to direct the ball was imposed upon the kickers). One group performed the penalty kick under psychological pressure (i.e., the present coaching staff assessed their performance), while the second group performed without pressure. Just before and after performing the kicks, CSAI-2 was used to measure cognitive and somatic anxiety and self-confidence. Further, the number of goals scored, ball placement and speed, and the duration of preparatory and performatory behaviors were determined. The results verified increased levels of cognitive and somatic anxiety after performing the kicks in the pressured group compared to the no-pressure group. In addition, degree of self-control affected the participants’ performance, particularly in the pressured group. They scored more goals and placed the kicks higher in the self-controlled than in the externally-controlled condition. Participants also took more time preparing and performing the run-up in the self-controlled condition. Findings indicate that increased self-control helps coping with the debilitating effects of pressure and can counter performance deteriorations. The findings are discussed within the framework of self-control theories, and recommendations for practitioners and athletes are made.

    Enfoques postcognitivos y pericia en el deporte
    (Entrenamiento táctico y decisional en el deporte, 2014) Ruiz Pérez, Luis Miguel; Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; del Villar Álvarez, Fernando; García González, Luis
    Las ciencias del entrenamiento deportivo han evolucionado significativamente en la última década, de forma paralela a los éxitos del deporte español, pudiendo afirmarse que una parte relevante de los excelentes resultados deportivos se sustentan en el gran trabajo de entrenadores y científicos del deporte. Este libro estudia la acción táctica y los procesos decisionales en el deporte a partir de esta nueva visión de la aplicación de la ciencia al entrenamiento deportivo, por lo que resulta de interés tanto para investigadores como para entrenadores, pues fundamenta los principios que explican el comportamiento táctico del deportista durante la competición, a la vez que desarrolla aplicaciones prácticas para el entrenamiento decisional en el deporte. Asimismo, se trata de una obra de referencia para los estudiantes de Ciencias del Deporte y para los alumnos de las escuelas de entrenadores por la gran cantidad de propuestas aplicadas al entrenamiento deportivo que se incluyen en el texto.

    Adaptive and reactive skills involved in the return of serve in tennis
    (ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review, 2014) Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; Ruiz-Pérez, Luis; Sanz, David; Navia, Jose; Crespo, Miguel; Santilli, Luca
    Some years ago, Nick Saviano notified qualitative observations. In this study we have made a chronometric analysis of the split-step and the response times of experienced returners to prove qualitative observations in a quantitative way. The research included the relationship between the different phases of the split-step and the reaction of the players. A 250 fps. high speed camera was used. The results partially confirm landing with the opposite foot. The ability to adapt the landing of the feet in a functional way was implemented by three of the five participants. It was also proved that those players who were faster to land, were also faster to react. There was also a relationship between the national qualification of the participants and the ability to react, since the best male player (M1) and the best female player (F1) had shorter response times.

    Do expert tennis players actually demonstrate anticipatory behavior when returning a first serve under representative conditions? A systematic review including quality assessment and methodological recommendations
    (Psychology of Sport & Exercise, 2019) Avilés Villarroel, Carlos Alberto; Navia, José A.; Ruiz, Luis M.; Martínez De Quel Pérez, Óscar; Raab, Markus; Tamminen, Katherine
    Objectives: The present article aims to (i) critically review and classify the studies on the tennis serve return by the degree of representativeness of the experimental task design, (ii) assess the quality of the studies classified with a high degree of representativeness, (iii) analyze to what extent expert tennis players demonstrate anticipatory behavior when actually performing a first serve return. Design and method: Searches were performed in Web of Science and Scopus up to 31st December 2017. The main search term tennis was combined with four groups of key words: anticipation, perception and action, response time and serve return. Researchers selected 62 studies after applying the inclusion criteria. Subsequently, they were screened by degree of experimental task design representativeness through 6 further criteria. Results: Fifty-four studies were found with a medium to low degree of representativeness (87%) and only 8 studies with a high degree of representativeness (13%). Among those eight studies, only one attained the best methodological quality in terms of variables analyzed and information reported. Also, some methodological recommendations were outlined for future research. Conclusions: After 40 years of research, evidence has not yet been found that expert tennis players move to either side before the ball is hit in representative task conditions. Hence, players do not demonstrate observable anticipatory behavior towards the ball direction on the first serve in tennis, but guide their actions upon the information unfolding around the server’s action and first moments of the ball flight.
