Abstract

A sport philosopher's insight on the divide between scientist and coach was the
highest point of this top conference. Novel strategies for performance en-
hancement included stiff insoles for cyclists and psychological assessment for
identifying young talent. Acute Effects: pacing; cold-water immersion; stretch-
ing; post-activation potentiation; shoe stiffness; carbon insoles; cycle cranks;
site of fatigue; menstrual cycle; hologram bracelets. Nutrition: carbohydrate;
protein; HMB; beetroot juice; caffeine; bicarbonate; NAC; astaxanthin, probiot-
ics. Tests, Technology and Monitoring: power on the pedal; virtual reality cy-
cling; incremental cycling test; training-performance models; running tests;
heart-rate recovery; instrumented kayak paddle; throwing in water polo; visual
search in volleyball; perceived exertion; hormone and damage markers; soccer
tactical skill; GPS; skiing eccentric ergometer. Performance and Game Analy-
sis: kinematics, movements and actions in various sports; team dynamics;
soccer scores; rhythmic gymnastics scores; rowing times. Talent Identification
and Development: AFL draft camp, young soccer players; physiological tests
and psychological skills for soccer; sporting talent in children; coordination for
gymnasts; infrastructure for gymnastics; career transition for basketball players;
genotypes. Training: load-guided system; interval training; hyperoxia; interfer-
ence for golf putting; Pilates for dancers; resistance for swimmers; post-altitude
optimum; electrical stimulation; core exercises, deliberate practice; resistance
and intervals for soccer. Verf.-Referat
