The HoTT-System: 

The HoTT-System The training is situation-specific relating to the targeted person-task-environment configuration. training situation Sport Psychology

Specifications of MTS: 

Specifications of MTS performance tests personality tests questionnaires Sport Psychology

Examples: 

Examples determining the range of attention biological peripheral perception stress-induced narrowing of perception reaction time analysis talent identification intervention origin analysis of individual stress tolerance adaptive testing origin for specific stress-coping interventions Sport Psychology Diagnostics

Range of attention(Nideffer, 1978, 1992; Baumann, 2000): 

Range of attention (Nideffer, 1978, 1992; Baumann, 2000) internal external broad narrow long-term short-term Sport Psychology

Broad vs. narrow range of attentionExample: Football, mid-field: 

Broad vs. narrow range of attention Example: Football, mid-field measurement of optical (biological) peripheral view (≈ 170º) =andgt; biological requirement for excellence stress-induced reduction of peripheral attention =andgt; critical mental aspect to maximize performance = competitors = teammates

Long-term focus of attentionconcentration: 

Long-term focus of attention concentration ‚Cognitrone‘-test: Concentration under unlimited working time fixed working time, respectively time pressure A high level of concentration is essential in every sports competition especially in racket sports, e. g. tennis or squash psychomotor complex sports, e. g. diving or gymnastics

Reaction-Time Analysis: 

Purpose talent identification problem identification find origins for interventions Reaction-Time Analysis Sport Psychology

Reaction-Time AnalysisProblem identification: 

Reaction-Time Analysis Problem identification reaction time decision time motor time

Reaction time analysisOrigins for interventions: 

Reaction time analysis Origins for interventions Reaction Time degree of arousal motor or mental intervention state or trait-oriented intervention cognitive or emotional intervention

Analysis of stress toleranceAdaptive testing: 

Analysis of stress tolerance Adaptive testing A high level of stress-tolerance: is essential in every sports competition is specifically required in sports demanding fine motor abilities, like table tennis and squash

Mental Training: 

Mental Training a means of mental training in the frame of HoTT deliberate influencing of bodily functions heart rate respiration (rate, depth) muscle contraction (EMG) arousal (skin conductance) E.g. Biofeedback Sport Psychology
