Big data and tactical analysis in elite soccer: future challenges and opportunities for sports science (2016, methodology): “One model which has been repeatedly proposed in the literature is based on a Dynamic system theoretical framework (Duarte et al. 2012a, b; Duarte et al. 2013; Garganta 2009; McGarry et al. 2002; Reed and Hughes 2006; Ric et al. 2016).”
Insights from Ecological Psychology and Dynamical Systems. Theory can underpin a philosophy of coaching. (2009, background): “stable state or the termination of the rally ( McGarry et al., 2002 ).”
Advances in the application of information technology to sport performance (2002, background): “Such complete analyses will enable sport scientists to investigate valid descrip - tions of game performance such as that described in McGarry et al. (2002, this issue).”
Tactical performance changes with equal vs unequal numbers of players in small-sided football games (2014, background): “…synchrony between two oscillating signals by measuring the phase differences between signals in their respective cycles, such as the back-and-forth displacements or velocities of players, thereby allowing detection of stable and/or unstable coordination behaviours (McGarry et al., 2002).”
The ecological dynamics of 1v1 sub-phases in association football (2010, background): “pt the free space behind the defender) can be defined as a potential order parameter [3,8], identifying two qualitative states: (1) when the defender is nearer the target zone than the attacker, and (2) when the attacker passes the defender and approaches the target zone.”
Applied and theoretical perspectives of performance analysis in sport: Scientific issues and challenges (2009, background): “These considerations exemplify the earlier suggestion of McGarry et al. (2002) that individual dyads are forged and broken (i.e., changed) depending on game context, a consequence of the ongoing duel within the attacker-defender dyad in which the attacker tries to break symmetry and the defender…”
