Agudo-Ortega, A., Salinero, J. J., Rodriguez-Barbero, S., Valero, F., Gonzalez-Rave, J. M. “…INTRODUCTION: Human development is a messy, complex, and difficult road to predict. At an early age, growth, maturation, and development occur simultaneously and influence physical activity, fitness, and performance (1), however, in the sports domain, the development of athletes will be strongly determined by favourable environments (2). …”

Çagin, M., Çimen Polat, S., Sarol, H., García Ramos, A., Çeviker, A. “…Cross-country skiing, one of the leading branches of winter sports, has a much more complex structure, unlike the branches that are widely preferred today (football, basketball, volleyball, etc.) and is a branch where many motor skills are exhibited at the same time For this reason, the effect of cross-country skiing, which is defined as more complex and difficult in terms of biomotor than other branches, on cognitive activities is a matter of curiosity. …”

Wingerson, M. J., Baugh, C. M., Provance, A. J., Armento, A., Walker, G. A., Howell, D. R. “…. - Physical activity frequency and duration were reduced during pandemic-related stay-at-home mandates versus the weeks before school and sport closures. - Sleep quality but not physical activity during stay-at-home mandates predicted changes in fatigue and peer relationships after school and sport closures, indicating a complex relationship may exist between sleep and mental health in adolescent athletes. …”

Koopmann, T., Faber, I., Lath, F., Loffing, F., Schorer, J. “…Particularly in early starting sports and those with highly limited resources, systems personified by coaches often select athletes into programs already at a young age, aiming to use resources efficiently on those athletes with the highest potential. …”

McGuigan, M., Dello Iacono, A., McRobert, A., Cowan, D., Unnithan, V. B. “…The transition of elite youth footballers through academy systems towards the first team is highly complex, competitive, and often unsuccessful. …”

Baker, J., Johnston, K., Wojtowicz, M., Wattie, N. “…The last few decades have seen a considerable increase in research attention to issues related to talent identification, skill acquisition, early sport specialisation and `safe` athlete development.1 2 In parallel, those working in high-performance sport are regularly tasked with creating evidence-based policies to inform both injury prevention and sports performance programmes for developing athletes.3 4 Several recent reviews have emphasised the limitations and gaps in our understanding of these processes.1 3 Not recognising these gaps undermines the complexity of what athletes, practitioners and other stakeholders manage in their daily environments. …”

Mandorino, M., Figueiredo, A. J., Gjaka, M., Tessitore, A. “…Many factors (e.g., neuromuscular control, training load, maturity status) can modify the susceptibility to injury in young soccer players. Being aware of the complex interaction between these factors is essential to identify players at higher risk of injury, develop adequate prevention strategies, and from a scientific point of view move from a reductionist to a complex system approach.…”

Zebrowska, A., Sikora, M., Zwierzchowska, A., Mikolajczyk, R., Manowska, B. “…INTRODUCTION: Biathlon is a complex sport discipline, that in addition to a high endurance capacity and efficient skiing technique, demands accurate shooting performed directly after intense exercise. …”

Solopov, I. N., Avdienko, V. B., Fomichenko, T. G., Bgantseva, I. V. “…Thus, the complex control of the special physical and functional fitness of swimmers should be based on a differentiated assessment of the main, dominant factors that determine the special physical performance and, ultimately, the actual sports result, at different stages of long-term sports training and reflecting biological and physiological patterns of development of adaptability to physical activity, taking into account the individual typological characteristics of athletes and their sports specialization. …”

N. Dehghansai, R. A. Pinder, J. Baker “…Written by a team of leading international experts, Talent Development in Paralympic Sport: Researcher and Practitioner Perspectives explores key factors and issues in contemporary sport, including: • current state of pathways in Paralympic sports across the globe • designing optimal developmental environments • long-term modeling of Paralympic athlete development • understanding the complexity of talent selection in Paralympic sport With an emphasis on practical implications for all those working in sport, the book offers an authoritative evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary systems for identifying and developing talent in Paralympic sport. …”
