Strength and conditioning coaches need to coach complex motor skills, where the common method involves explicit instruction and task decomposition. However, contemporary skill acquisition theory is in conflict with this explicit and reductionist approach. Through three case studies the examination of individualised task constraints were used to allow a self-organization process to skill development to take place. The constraints employed for the all three case studies achieved movement change in the predicted direction. In two of the three cases, the movement changes resulted in performance improvements measured through 1RM. In conclusion, the constraints-led approach was an effective method for changing movement behaviour in the context of strength and conditioning.Item How can governance design options be developed for new and emerging sports. The case of Stand Up Paddling in New Zealand.(2018-11) Meiklejohn, Trevor; Ferkins, Dr Lesley; O'Boyle, I.; Unitec Institute of Technology; Auckland University of Technology; University of South AustraliaThe academic impetus for this research Kellet and Russell (2009) assert there is dearth of understanding as to how new and emerging sports are structured and governed compared to traditional sports. Lifestyle sports such as skateboarding are fragmented, lack formal structures and contain overlapping roles of suppliers, participants and program developers (Kellet & Russell, 2009). Triathlon contains TPOs such as event managers who have ‘infiltrated the sport’ taking on roles normally assumed by the NSO to the point of rendering the NSO irrelevant (Phillips & Newland, 2014). Cornforth (2012) asserts that the once linear boundaries between private, public and not for profit sectors are becoming become increasingly blurred. Governance research “has not adequately kept up with the changing context in which many non-profit organisations operate…” (p. 2).Item New Zealand skateboarding : towards a national structure(2018-10) MacFarlane, John; Wheaton, B.; Thorpe, H.; Desmarais, , F.; Unitec Institute of TechnologyWHY?

What is happening at the high performance level? Does anyone care? Key issues governing actions sports ...Pressures for formalize and institutionalize.
