Description

The book series "Cognitive Athletic Training" provides practical and scientifically grounded volumes on implementing cognitive athletic training in various sports. Each title in the series focuses on a specific sport and addresses the overarching question: With which game and exercise formats can cognition be trained alongside athleticism and conditioning? The focus lies on cognitive skills such as perception, creativity, anticipation, and attention, as well as on conditioning skills like strength, endurance, speed, and coordination.

The books are designed with a didactic-methodical approach, include a wide variety of diverse examples, and feature a compact and clear presentation in the theoretical sections. Numerous photos and illustrations facilitate the practical implementation of the various game and exercise formats, which form the main part of the books.

The series is especially aimed at coaches in both competitive and recreational sports, interested athletes, and students of sports science. The authors of the volumes teach and conduct research at universities, are active coaches themselves, or are involved in the umbrella organizations of their respective sports.
