ABSTRACT

Research on creativity in sport is gaining momentum, due to a growing interest from coaches and academics in developing strategies to increase unpredictability in individual and collective behaviour which may allow teams to gain an important advantage over their opponents. The purpose of this paper was to conduct the first systematic narrative review of the literature on sporting creativity, critically synthesising 51 years of published research (1967–2018) and proposing avenues for future research. Six databases were used, and 48 documents met search criteria. The findings are organised in four categories: (a) defining creativity, (b) correlates of creativity, (c) assessing creativity and (d) developing creativity. Creativity definitions and assessments have privileged thought processes over the ability to act. A distinction is warranted between creativity about sport and creativity in sport (in action) and aligned assessment methods. The literature does not support a single strategy for the development of sporting creativity but does support its trainability. Evidence of the effectiveness of programmes for the enhancement of sporting creativity is growing but is still limited. Furthermore, while it is recognised that coaches have a pivotal role in the development of sporting creativity, research involving them is still scarce.

摘要

由于教练和学者对开发提高个人和集体行为的不可预测性的策略的兴趣日益浓厚，因此对运动创造力的研究正获得越来越多的动力，这可能会使团队获得超越对手的重要优势。本文的目的是对体育创造力文献进行首次系统的叙事回顾，批判性地综合了51年的已发表研究（1967–2018），并提出了未来研究的途径。使用了六个数据库，有48个符合搜索条件的文档。调查结果分为四类：（a）定义创造力，（b）创造力的相互关系，（c）评估创造力，（d）发展创造力。创造力的定义和评估使思想过程比行动能力具有特权。关于运动的创造力与运动中的创造力（在行动中）和统一的评估方法之间应有区别。文献不支持体育创造力发展的单一策略，但支持其可训练性。增强体育创造力的计划有效性的证据正在增加，但仍然有限。此外，尽管人们认识到教练在体育创造力的发展中起着举足轻重的作用，但涉及他们的研究仍然很少。增强体育创造力的计划有效性的证据正在增加，但仍然有限。此外，尽管人们认识到教练在体育创造力的发展中起着举足轻重的作用，但涉及他们的研究仍然很少。增强体育创造力的计划有效性的证据正在增加，但仍然有限。此外，尽管人们认识到教练在体育创造力的发展中起着举足轻重的作用，但涉及他们的研究仍然很少。
