“…Additionally, teams competing in their home environment enjoy a home court/field advantage and travelling teams are met with a considerable task of overcoming such an advantage. This advantage is often hard to separate from detriments in performance related to travel 51 53 104. All of these factors taken together highlight the difficulty in generalising the results of current literature as some factors may play a more significant role than originally anticipated.…”

The need for athletes to travel long distances has spurred investigation into the effect of air travel across multiple time zones on athletic performance. Rapid eastward or westward travel may negatively affect the body in many ways; therefore, strategies should be employed to minimise these effects which may hamper athletic performance. In this review, the fundamentals of circadian rhythm disruption are examined along with additional effects of airline travel including jet lag, sleep deprivation, travel at altitude and nutritional considerations that negatively affect performance. Evidence-based recommendations are provided at the end of the manuscript to minimise the effects of airline travel on performance.

“…Ten years of Major League Baseball retrospective data were analysed to determine the effect of travel on athletic performance 51. The study used the convention that for every time zone crossed, resynchronisation requires one 24 h period 52.…”

“…An article in the journal Sleep evaluating the role of travel for Monday Night Football games opened the door for scientific study of athletic performance during travel across time zones [18]. Recht et al [19] conducted studies looking at the teams' transcontinental travel', while Winter et al [20] examined the more subtle roles of travel and team performance as it pertained to 'circadian advantage'.…”

This review applies literature on sleep following traumatic brain injury and concussion to sport concussions and places these considerations in the context of sleep and athletic performance. It also includes a description of sleep abnormalities in sleep duration, quality and timing as well as recommended treatment approaches. Finally, it includes a brief discussion of emerging paradigms of sleep and concussion recovery.

“…Their performance suffers from deficits associated with the mismatch of circadian rhythms with the new time zone (Reilly, 2009a), as would be expected. A study of all major league baseball games in the U.S. found a disadvantage for the traveling team that was larger when the time change involved 3 hours (winning percentage of 39.4%) rather than 1 or 2 hours (winning percentages of 48.3% and 48.2%), with teams traveling from west to east being more likely to win than teams traveling from east to west (Winter, Hammond, Green, Zhang, & Bliwise, 2009).

Skill Acquisition and Training: Achieving Expertise in Simple and Complex Tasks describes the building blocks of cognitive, motor, and teamwork skills, and the factors to take into account in training them. The basic processes of perception, cognition, and action that provide the foundation for understanding skilled performance are discussed in the context of complex task requirements, individual differences, and extreme environmental demands. The role of attention in perceiving, selecting, and becoming aware of information, in learning new information, and in performance is described in the context of specific skills.A theme throughout this book is that much learning is implicit; the types of knowledge and relations that can profitably be learned implicitly and the conditions under which this learning benefits performance are discussed. The question of whether skill acquisition in cognitive domains shares underlying mechanisms with the acquisition of perceptual and motor skills is also addressed with a view to identifying commonalities that allow for widely applicable, general theories of skill acquisition. Because the complexity of real-world environments puts demands on the individual to adapt to new circumstances, the question of how skills research can be applied to organizational training contexts is an important one. To address this, this book dedicates much of its content to practical applications, covering such issues as how training needs can be captured with task and job analyses, and how to maximize training transfer by taking trainee self-efficacy and goal orientation into account.This comprehensive yet readable textbook is optimized for students of cognitive psychology looking to understand the intricacies of skill acquisition, while being accessible to a range of students and practitioners.
