“…On the other hand, these results may show that winners show more conservative serving tactics (C1) but take more risks during the C2 complex (Abián et al, 2014). Specifically, the results reinforce the importance of using the less risky serve that may allow the player to lead the point (Chow et al, 2014). Then, the use of backhand short serve is the best way to do so reducing the options to the opponent to disrupt the prefixed tactic of the server.…”

“…Miguel-Ángel Gómez 1 , Adrián Cid 2 , Fernando Rivas Introduction: Badminton is a complex and dynamic sport where the players' actions require quick decision-making and actions trying to disrupt the opponent's balance, while trying to lead the rallies (Chow et al, 2014). Specifically, the net-racket sports are characterized by alternating the possession between opponents (i.e., one vs one confrontations) that occur during a rally.…”

Collective sports comprise of cooperative and competitive organizational processes in which players have to be predictable for teammates and sufficiently diverse and unpredictable for opponents in order to satisfy the goal constraints. In highly stable, repetitive and thus predictable (cooperative or non-cooperative) environments the adaptive system may converge to a minimum unpredictability by minimizing the diversity of accessible patterns of functional behaviour. However, sport competition, akin to life itself, is not a highly stable and repetitive process based on negotiating stable environment. It creates conditions where highly demanding non-cooperative behaviour of the environment is rather rule than an exception. In such stochastically changing and non-cooperative environments, systems (players and teams) must develop high behavioural unpredictability potential to increase their fitness to the competitive environment. This means that the adaptation process rests on a tendency of permanent increase of the unpredictability potential which affords the ultimate goal, the survival (winning) of the system in sports environments. This state of affairs suggests that performance may be conceptualized in terms of unpredictability/diversity potential and that its development can be understood by the juxtaposition of three principles of adaptive systems: (a) relativity of organism-environment unpredictability; (b) satisficing diversity/unpredictability potential; and (c) tendency towards non-decreasing unpredictability/diversity. (a) Relativity of organism-environment unpredictability: Collective sports adaptation is a process of becoming fit to one's environment. Becoming fit means that the environment becomes more informative and less constraining for the player/ team and, on the other hand, the player/team becomes less informative, and thus more unpredictable for the environment. The relativity of organism-environment unpredictability is based on the conservation of bio-motor information principle (Hristovski, 1989). This principle says that performance variables, including motor abilities (effectivities), such as power, agility, speed, strength, endurance, etc., may be treated as entropy measures forming a state space in which training induces conversion of entropy into information. By increasing the effectivities,

“…They reported that players' movements frequently switched between in-and anti-phase synchronization in the direction of the short axis of the court as they took turns hitting the ball. In addition, the speed scalar has been used as a collective variable to describe different patterns during badminton [31]. In these court-net sports, the ball is considered to be a physical link constraining the opponent's movement.…”

A Switching Hybrid Dynamical System: Toward Understanding Complex Interpersonal Behavior

Complex human behavior, including interlimb and interpersonal coordination, has been studied from a dynamical system perspective. We review the applications of a dynamical system approach to a sporting activity, which includes continuous, discrete, and switching dynamics. Continuous dynamics identified switching between in- and anti-phase synchronization, controlled by an interpersonal distance of 0.1 m during expert kendo matches, using a relative phase analysis. In the discrete dynamical system, return map analysis was applied to the time series of movements during kendo matches. Offensive and defensive maneuvers were classified as six coordination patterns, that is, attractors and repellers. Furthermore, these attractors and repellers exhibited two discrete states. Then, state transition probabilities were calculated based on the two states, which clarified the coordination patterns and switching behavior. We introduced switching dynamics with temporal inputs to clarify the simple rules underlying the complex behavior corresponding to switching inputs in a striking action as a non-autonomous system. As a result, we determined that the time evolution of the striking action was characterized as fractal-like movement patterns generated by a simple Cantor set rule with rotation. Finally, we propose a switching hybrid dynamics to understand both court-net sports, as strongly coupled interpersonal competition, and weakly coupled sports, such as martial arts.
