Complex systems and the sports world

Abstract

In the sports and the sports training fields, an especially multidisciplinary area, only a few works have been made so far from a complex systems standpoint. Neither has the medical world solidly attained this way of understanding the world. The traditional view of sports and the sciences that nurture it, is simple and always performed from a lineal standpoint. A phenomenon is only considered lineal if the response is proportional to the stimulus. In this paper, we try to outline our environment from the non-linearity principle, the chaotic behavior, and the interconnection of processes and events. We understand this might help improve the idea that has traditionally determined the structure of sports and its own internal logic.
