How skill acquisition research can influence practice

Within the Australian sports science system, the contribution of disciplines such as physiology, biomechanics, medicine and the physical therapies to elite sports performance has been successful and obvious. The contribution of skill acquisition is less apparent. This relatively new field of sports science can, and does, contribute to the enhancement of sports performance. Skill Acquisition is a specific arm of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Performance Psychology department that began full-time service provision in 2002. It is primarily concerned with investigating the factors that affect the acquisition, performance and retention of sports skills in both developing and elite athletes. The Skill Acquisition unit is particularly interested in the way an deftly execute a sports skill. Other research projects Current, or recently completed, projects illustrating the diversity and multidisciplinary nature of applied skill acquisition research include: Identifying and counteracting the critical stressors governing skill decrement during tennis performance A multidisciplinary approach for examining batting expertise across the developmental spectrum Biomechanical and visual-perceptual considerations in the hockey flick from a goalkeeping perspective Improving the transfer from practice to the game: a multidisciplinary examination of rugby line-outs An examination of the efficacy of immersive (3D) visual simulations for the training of perceptual skill in netball Does practice make perfect? The role of practice repetition in skill learning The development of a video-based decision-making testing and training approach for basketball Developing anticipatory skill for cricket slips catching The development of a test of reactive agility for netball: a new methodology The effects of fatigue on decision-making and shooting skill performance in water polo players The kinematics of the soccer penalty kick: can they be used to improve the anticipatory performance of soccer goalkeepers?
