Many sport scientists are starting to apply the tools and concepts of non-linear dynamics, dynamical systems theory, chaos theory, and thermodynamics to analysis of sport behavior. One aim of this meeting was to encourage and promote such applications. Four main themes recurred throughout the conference: nonlinear dynamics of individual movement coordination (self-organization and metastability in athlete movement patterns, new techniques to collect and analyze the movement patterns of individual sports performers, and differential training); complex techniques to analyze team dynamics (emerging techniques to collect and analyze the movements of players in competition, and high-level variables that characterize team game dynamics); creativity and decision making (how training environment encourages or prevents emergent decision-making, the coach's role in developing creative athletes, and techniques to analyze creativity); and training perceptual skills and multimodal perception (individual factors relating to perceptual skill, perception and action coupling, adding noise to perceptual information, and training strategies). Implications for scientists: complex systems may be useful in team dynamics, differential learning may enhance learning, visual search studies should be done in-situ, and virtual reality may overcome shortfalls of video based perceptual studies. Implications for coaches: constraints should be manipulated to optimize learning, task difficulty influences motivation and skill development, and creativity stems from metastable states.
