The aim of the course is to gain a deeper understanding of the neuromotor control of motor activity and the role of perceptual and cognitive functions underlying motor skills and skill performance. The student will gain an understanding of the sensorimotor and psychomotor basis of motor skills, and the adaptation and changes in sensorimotor/psychomotor function as a result of sport training. The student will learn the methodologies and methods of behavioral research on motor skills and motor learning, including current sophisticated methods (eye tracking, stroboscopy). Content: 1. Theoretical concepts of motor performance - cognitive concepts, dynamic-systems and ecological-psychological approaches, theories of direct perception and motor action. 2. Visual perception in sport, performance, visual perceptual skills - visual search strategies, detection of relevant environmental cues, use of advanced environmental cues, recognition of patterns in external situations. Relationship to general visual functions and skills (visual "hardware"). 3. Training visual perceptual skills for sports and other movement-intensive activities, visual strobe training, quiet eye training. 4. Research methodology and diagnosis of sport-specific visual skills (laboratory and field methodologies). 5. Sports-specific kinesthetic skills. Diagnostics. Changes due to motor training. 6. Anticipation in sport. Anticipatory skills in sports performance. 7. Anticipatory skills training in sport. 8. Diagnostics and research methodology of sport-specific anticipatory skills (laboratory and field diagnostics). 9. Decision making in sport activity. Disjunctive reactions. Decision-making in rapid succession (refractive psychological period). Choosing a movement response in randomly changing situations. 10. Training skills in decision making. The role of anticipation, specific knowledge, memory and thinking. 11. Diagnostics and research methodology of decision-making skills in sport.
