Abstract

This paper addresses the role that the Human Factors Society should play in fostering research in sport and recreation. The fields of sports science and human factors are discussed as to their similarities and differences in terms of methodologies, interests, and accomplishments. A symbiotic relationship is proposed that would best be served by the formation of a Technical Group (TG) on Sport and Recreation. It is proposed that such a TG would serve as a conduit to other organizations already concerned with sports science. Exemplary areas within sport and recreation that are in need of supplemental research by human factors scientists are identified.
