Enhancing Performance Through Small-Sided Games and Adaptive Training Systems

The chapter discusses the benefits of designing small-sided games with specific informational cues to improve players' understanding of action-perception coupling and enhance their performance outcomes. It explores studies on field hockey and tennis skill development, highlighting the impact of player numbers and constraints on player performance. Additionally, the effectiveness of rule changes in training programs, such as in diving, and the importance of maintaining variability in training conditions to optimize perceptual motor exploration are emphasized.
