    Book SynopsisEn este libro nos centramos en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje del fútbol, y con más exactitud, dentro de las edades propias de iniciación deportiva. Por tanto, nos centramos en el estudio de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el fútbol base, ocupándonos también, por un lado del alumno o jugador, y por otro el técnico o entrenador, agentes indispensables y verdaderos protagonistas de dichos procesos. A lo largo del capítulo referido al marco teórico, haremos una revisión de la literatura y de trabajos e iniciativas existentes en torno al fútbol base. En este sentido, intentaremos delimitar el concepto de fútbol base, así como su campo de acción. Después abordaremos el fútbol como deporte de equipo, partiendo de su análisis estructural y funcional, para acabar en una visión globalizada e integrada del mismo, lo cual, en última instancia, nos permitirá determinar las características de las habilidades motrices que le son propias y necesarias para su práctica.Y una vez determinados los aspectos anteriores, nos ocuparemos, como elemento imprescindible en la enseñanza y el entrenamiento del fútbol, de los procesos cognitivos que se ponen en liza en la puesta en práctica de dichas habilidades. Por último, nos centraremos en los distintos enfoques metodológicos de enseñanza que existen en la iniciación al fútbol. Nos vamos a centrar en el tratamiento de los aspectos metodológicos que caracterizan el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje del fútbol, haciendo especial hincapié en los modelos de enseñanza deportiva predominantes en la práctica, así como de los métodos y estilos de enseñanza que los caracterizan.Vamos a tratar con mayor profundidad las características de los diferentes modelos de enseñanza deportiva, haciendo la diferenciación entre los dos modelos: el modelo técnico o tradicional, cuyo principal sustento es el desarrollo de técnicas deportivas fundamentales como paso previo al aprendizaje de aspectos tácticos y a la práctica de juego en situación real; y por otro lado, el modelo alternativo, comprensivo o táctico, que surge como consecuencia de las insuficiencias que muchos entrenadores e investigadores encuentran en el enfoque técnico de la enseñanza, principalmente en su descontextualización del juego.

    Book SynopsisSocial Justice Through Sport and Exercise Psychology: Intergenerational Voices and An Embodied Approach provides a narration of the history of social justice work in sport and exercise psychology as advanced through the voices of those leaders who have dared to imagine a more just and equitable sporting world. By situating their history through critical genealogy, within an analysis of the larger social relationships of power in both the competitive sporting context and the field of sport and exercise psychology (including patriarchy, sexism, racism, classism, ableism, and homonegativity), an effort is made to illuminate their political lineages and how these individuals utilized social justice theories and critical reflexivity in their work. The fourfold purpose of this brand new and cutting-edge volume is to (1) frame the critical genealogy and political lineages of leaders in the field of sport and exercise psychology, who have promoted social justice in their work; (2) pr

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisIntegrated Periodization in Sports Training & Athletic Development considers the large problem of training specialists working in isolation and builds a case for integrated periodization as conceived by Tudor Bompa. The book begins by defining periodization as a specific theory and methodology, historically detailing how the term was formally derived, differentiating it from the current view of periodization as a Russian concept. Next, the authors clarify some common misconceptions of periodization by integrating evidence-based practice with an emphasis on sports nutrition, psychological preparation, and training methodology. The book explores sport-specific applications of integrated periodization, development of biomotor abilities, and long-term planning. A novel paradigm for viewing adaptation is introduced, moving past homeostasis to include allostasis, and one approach (Maximum Recoverable Volume) that may be used to more effectively manage fatigue is detailed. Finally, the book includes a chapter on tapering strategies to peak athletes for competition using an integrated approach
