Sporda Yetenek Gelişimi ve Ötesi

Geçtiğimiz yıllarda, yetenek geliştirme konusu, spora ve diğer performans alanlarına bilimsel ilgi giderek artış göstermektedir. Bu derleme, yetenek gelişiminin önde gelen faktörlerini ele alıyor, bu alanda önerilen modelleri inceliyor, bahsi geçen faktörleri ve modelleri tartışıyor. Genler, çevre, uygulama ve psikolojik faktörlerin hepsi yeteneklerde önemli bir rol oynar ve son araştırma bulgularına göre tartışılıyor. Ayrıca, yetenek için farklı model türlerine genel bir bakış verilmiştir: çok boyutlu, aşama modelleri, epigenetik ve emerjenik model tanımlanmış ve her bir kategorinin önde gelen modellerinden bahsedilmiştir. Son olarak, bulgular tartışılmış ve inceleme bulgularına dayanarak gelecekteki araştırmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur

Talent Development in Sports and Beyond

Over the past decades, the topic of talent development has been of increasing scientific interest in sports and other performance domains. This review elaborates on the prominent factors of talent development, examines models proposed within the field, and discusses mentioned factors and models. Genes, environment, practice, and psychological factors all play a crucial role in talent and are discussed with regard to recent research findings. Furthermore, an overview is given of the different types of models for talent: multi-dimensional, stage-models, and an epigenetic and emergenic model are described in general and one prominent model of each category is elaborated upon. Finally, findings are discussed and suggestions for future research are given, based on the review findings
