“…Research in applied behavior analysis has focused on sports for many years, and research using single-subject designs for sports has increased over the past 30 years (Luiselli, Woods, & Reed, 2011;Martin et al, 2004). Behavioral research to enhance sports performance has been conducted in numerous sports domains, including football, tennis, soccer, gymnastics, ballet, speed skating, and rowing (Martin et al, 2004).…”

Behavioral research to enhance sports performance has been conducted in numerous sports domains and often involves feedback from the coach to the student. One promising form of feedback is the use of an acoustical stimulus such as a clicker to provide more immediate feedback. Similar to clicker training with animals, acoustical stimuli are used with humans to reinforce desired behavior in a procedure called TAGteach, which involves using a clicker as a conditioned reinforcer in training. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of TAGteach, implemented by dance teachers, to increase the fluency of 3 dance movements in a multiple baseline design across behaviors with 4 students of dance. Target behaviors included a turn, kick, and leap. The targeted dance movements remained at relatively low levels of performance during baseline and improved for each participant after the introduction of the TAGteach intervention. Implications for future research are discussed.

“…In particular, at the general motor level, they have improved body orientation skills in space; at the specific technical and tactical level, through the collaboration between multiple players and the choice of solutions depending on the handball, the teammates and the defenders. The results of the research showed a general improvement in performance (Luiselli, Woods, 2011), validating the choice of additional training methods. At the end of the competitive season, the data processed showed that the percentages of increase in passing and shooting percentages improved about 14% for group B.

Introduction The study has been finalized, through a method of manual observation and detection of data, the monitoring of the sporting behavior of a sample of 24 young male athletes, aged between 15 and 17, practicing handball at amateur / school level. Methods The aime was to monitor and strengthen individual and team fundamentals through the improvement of the percentages of passage and shooting on goal, taking care of the development of the coordinative and conditional skills. The research was carried out over a period of six months, from December 2016 to June 2017, through analytical and global training methods developed in twenty (20) additional hours of work in addition to the work sessions provided for the annual program. Motor tests were administered with the athletes divided into groups A and B, t the beginning, midterm and at the end of the observation period. Conclusions and results The final output showed the improvement percentage of about 4% for group A and about 14% for group B.

“…Luiselli, Woods, and Reed () indicated that future research should evaluate social validity of sports performance intervention and procedures. Allowing external experienced coaches to review baseline videos and training videos provided insight to how expert coaches would evaluate improvements following BST.…”

Recently, concerns regarding sport-related concussions have increased within the research literature, the media, and popular culture. One potential source of soccer-related concussions involves the purposeful striking of the ball with one's head (i.e., heading). There is currently limited research on an effective teaching method to improve safe heading technique. In the current study, Behavior Skills Training (BST) was evaluated as a method to teach correct heading techniques to youth soccer players. BST increased the percentage of correct steps for each player based on a task analysis of heading. Based on social validity questionnaires administered to players and the coach, BST was rated as an acceptable form of training. After the final training session, experienced coaches rated each player as having improved from baseline to training.
