Self-Confrontation Micro-Phenomenological Interviews (SCMPIs) aim to capture the fine-grained details of an athlete's experience, focusing on pre-reflective consciousness without resorting to post-hoc rationalizations. This specific type of self-confrontation interview was developed in the domain of work analysis in cognitive ergonomics. Despite it...

It is widely accepted in sports psychology that emotions and performance are interrelated. However, the interplay between athletes’ emotions and the associated involvements in the situation, perceptions and technical adaptations has remained largely unexplored in ecological sport settings. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to use an ac...

Traditional theories of motor learning emphasize the automaticity of skillful actions. However, recent research has emphasized the role of pre-reflective self-consciousness accompanying skillful action execution. In the present paper, we present the course-of-experience framework as a means of studying elite athletes’ pre-reflective self-consciousn...

Formula Kite is a high-speed sailing sport using hydrofoils, recently included in the Olympic sports list. In Formula Kite, the riders’ technical abilities to reach and maintain high speed are key to achieving performance. The aim of the present study was to analyze Formula Kite riders’ performance during speed tests in practice sessions by combini...

The processes of appropriation of tools, machines, and other kinds of equipment by human beings are often linked to the notions of transparency and incorporation. Sport situations provide appropriate conditions for exploring the interplay between humans and material equipment when users are engaged in a quest for performance. In the present opinion...

Traditional theories of motor learning emphasize the automaticity of skillful actions. However, recent research has questioned this principle of automaticity by emphasizing the role of pre-reflective self-consciousness accompanying athletes’ unfolding activity. Yet empirical documentation and analysis of athletes’ pre-reflective self-consciousness...

The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding of the role of shared sport equipment in the collective coordination of a team. It was conducted within an enactive approach of human cognition by mobilizing the methodological tools and methods of the Course of Action framework. Six crew members of hydrofoil sailing catamarans partic...

Notre thèse porte sur l’activité d’équipages de voiliers volants cherchant à stabiliser le vol de ces voiliers. Cette activité collective présuppose des ajustements permanents de la part de coéquipiers, qui partagent un support matériel sensible à la fois à leur activité et à son environnement naturel. Nous avons conduit trois études complémentaire...

Les innovations technologiques participent aux évolutions de la culture technique des disciplines sportives. Le domaine de la voile sportive offre actuellement une opportunité pour étudier le développement d’une culture technique liée à la diffusion d’une innovation matérielle : les « foils », permettant aux voiliers de voler au-dessus de l’eau. La...

A current trend in sailing sports is the use of boats equipped with hydrofoils, allowing the boats to "fly" over the water surface. In this situation, the handling of the boat requires fine coordination between the crew members to maintain the precarious flight. The purpose of this case study was to analyze the crew activity on a flying multihull a...

L’apparition du régime de navigation « vol » sur les bateaux équipés de foils ouvre de nouvelles questions dans le domaine de l’entraînement des équipages. En même temps, cette transformation crée une situation privilégiée pour étudier des phénomènes de coordinations interpersonnelles médiées par un support matériel. Dans ce contexte, la notion de...
