Abstract
The important advanced proposed by Janet Starkes to consider “in situ” designs to inverstigate sport performance focused the attention of sport psychologists on the functionality of the design of experimental conditions in sport related task. This idea is clearly allowed with Brunskwik’s key concept of a “representative design”. Brunswik developed important theoretical principles, wich can be integrated into a broader ecological dynamics view enhancing our understanding of how behaviour in one context may correspond in another convect. Here we outline how modelling this “behaviour correspondence between context. ensures the generations between experimental interventions and performance in sport can be achieved, bases on adherence to the interwined criteria of selection of afffordances, action fidelity, and performance achievement.
Keywords: Achievement, Actionfidelity, Affordances, Experiments, Interventions
