ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the numerous models that have been used across the years to formally describe intrapersonal and interpersonal coordination. It presents the several stages that are needed to model interpersonal coordination in team sports. The dynamic models have been focused on intrapersonal coordination and also on interpersonal coordination, mainly involving limb rhythmic tasks. A challenging case of dynamical modelling in team sports is the case of rugby union. The chapter explains the order parameter which accurately describes the interactive behaviour between system components. It describes the possible steady states towards which the system is attracted. The chapter presents the suitable potential function and differential equation to formally describe, explain and predict the dynamical system behaviour. It talks about the Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) model that was used as a reference to formalize modes of coordination in human movement systems.
