ABSTRACT
Introduction As other chapters in this book demonstrate, interpersonal coordination has been studied in a variety of contexts, using many analysis techniques. Whether investigating gross movements of players in a sports team, or the smaller movements of a group of musicians, sufficiently accurate estimates of raw data (often position) are required. The effectiveness of the various analyses of interpersonal coordination is limited by the accuracy of input data. Obtaining input data for these analyses often requires the use of technology. Although interpersonal coordination has been studied in a variety of sports, physical activity and experimental contexts, this chapter will mainly focus on technologies for monitoring interpersonal coordination in team sports as this is an area that is receiving growing interest. Fundamentally, this most often requires the measurement of player position.
