A new comprehensive compendium by Jun.-Prof. Stefanie Klatt (DSHS Cologne) and Prof. Bernd Strauß (IfS) with 21 chapters by the leading German-speaking scientists in an edited work on the sport psychological basics and applications on the interaction of cognition and motor skills has just been published by Hogrefe Verlag. These include chapters on neurophysiological basics as well as on the perception-action coupling. The areas of performance and health as well as development over the lifespan are also dealt with in detail, as is diagnostics (e.g. with motor tests).
