          The Specificity of Observational Studies in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences: Moving Forward in Mixed Methods Research and Proposals for Achieving Quantitative and Qualitative Symmetry

          Mixed methods studies are been increasingly applied to a diversity of fields. In this paper, we discuss the growing use—and enormous potential—of mixed methods research in the field of sport and physical activity. A second aim is to contribute to strengthening the characteristics of mixed methods research by showing how systematic observation offers rigor within a flexible framework that can be applied to a wide range of situations. Observational methodology is characterized by high scientific rigor and flexibility throughout its different stages and allows the objective study of spontaneous behavior in natural settings, with no external influence. Mixed methods researchers need to take bold yet thoughtful decisions regarding both substantive and procedural issues. We present three fundamental and complementary ideas to guide researchers in this respect: we show why studies of sport and physical activity that use a mixed methods research approach should be included in the field of mixed methods research, we highlight the numerous possibilities offered by observational methodology in this field through the transformation of descriptive data into quantifiable code matrices, and we discuss possible solutions for achieving true integration of qualitative and quantitative findings.

            Sport science integration: An evolutionary synthesis.

            The aim of the paper is to point out one way of integrating the supposedly incommensurate disciplines investigated in sports science. General, common principles can be found among apparently unrelated disciplines when the focus is put on the dynamics of sports-related phenomena. Dynamical systems approaches that have recently changed research in biological and social sciences among others, offer key concepts to create a common pluricontextual language in sport science. This common language, far from being homogenising, offers key synthesis between diverse fields, respecting and enabling the theoretical and experimental pluralism. It forms a softly integrated sports science characterised by a basic dynamic explanatory backbone as well as context-dependent theoretical flexibility. After defining the dynamic integration in living systems, unable to be captured by structural static approaches, we show the commonalities between the diversity of processes existing on different levels and time scales in biological and social entities. We justify our interpretation by drawing on some recent scientific contributions that use the same general principles and concepts, and diverse methods and techniques of data analysis, to study different types of phenomena in diverse disciplines. We show how the introduction of the dynamic framework in sport science has started to blur the boundaries between physiology, biomechanics, psychology, phenomenology and sociology. The advantages and difficulties of sport science integration and its consequences in research are also discussed.

              Avances en estudios observacionales de ciencias del deporte desde los mixed methods

              Desde ser un movimiento emergente a finales del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, destaca el impulso, fortaleza, y sostenibilidad con que han crecido y se han desarrollado los mixed methods, tanto genéricamente, como en el ámbito especifico de Ciencias del Deporte, aunque en menor medida, y de forma desigual según las modalidades deportivas. Se presenta el recorrido durante los últimos quince años, y se puede comprobar la rapidez de su expansión, aunque limitado a pocas modalidades deportivas. Analizando las posibles razones que han influido en una utilización mucho más exigua que en otros ámbitos, consideramos que son superables, y que en la actualidad no existen limitaciones que objetivamente sigan incidiendo en un uso reducido. Muchos de los estudios observacionales realizados en el ámbito del deporte ya son estudios mixed methods. Finalmente, se desarrolla un apartado que comporta una novedad de planteamiento en un estudio que se pretende actúe como referente, pero que en la práctica investigadora diaria se viene aplicando de forma claramente sostenida a lo largo de las dos últimas décadas, y es la consideración de la metodologia observacional como mixed method en sí misma, dado que comporta la integración de elementos cualitativos y cuantitativos en la práctica totalidad de los casos.
