In different kind of sports, highly time-restricted situations require athletes to early anticipate actions of team members and opponents. Skilled athletes use different sensory modalities to predict upcoming situations. The first talk focuses on multisensory integration in anticipation. For the anticipation of sporting actions, not only sensory perceptions play a role, but also information about the context (e.g. the score, the position of a player on the field, preferences of an opponent). The second talk deals with the question of how different frequencies of head fakes performed by different basketball players affect the individual effectiveness of the head fake. The ability to inhibit an already planned action also plays an important role in sport, for example in order to avoid an injury or because an opponent has provoked an incorrect action through deception. In the third talk, a paradigmatic approach is reported to investigate response inhibition for the basketball jump shot. The fourth talk focuses on the relationship
between response inhibition and expertise. The fifth talk explores the question of how prior mental training in the learning process of a complex action affects gaze behavior and motor performance.
