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.
