計画班A01の桑水隆多さん、土谷尚嗣さん、公募班の藤本知臣さんらが執筆したスポーツクオリアに関する書籍の章（book chapter）のプレプリントがSportRxivで公開されました。

　スポーツ科学では、これまで主に生理学や物理学に基づいて身体を客観的に測定してきました。主観的な指標も使われていますが、多くは客観的指標を補う位置づけです。スポーツをしているときの主観的な体験そのものは、研究対象としてあまり扱われてきませんでした。本章では、スポーツで経験される質的・主観的な側面を「スポーツクオリア」と呼び、意識研究で発展しつつあるクオリア構造の枠組みを使って論じています。本章が紹介するのは、あらかじめ測定の軸を決めず、主観的類似度などクオリア同士の関係から体験の構造を描き出すアプローチです。この方法を使えば、コーチ・トップ選手・初心者の感覚がどこで一致し、どこで食い違うのかを明らかにでき、コーチングの実践にも役立つことが期待されます。

Abstract

 Sport experience is rich in sensations that only the person feeling them can know: the feel of movement, the interaction with the environment, and the fatigue or pleasant mood that follows exercise. For the most part, sport science has measured the body objectively, building on physiology and physics. While subjective measures do abound in sport science, it is mostly as adjuncts to objective indices; the subjective experience of sport itself tends to be overlooked as an object of inquiry in its own right. Coaches and scientists often face a significant disconnect between objective data and an athlete's subjective experience. This chapter addresses qualitative and subjective aspects experienced in sport (what we call sport qualia) using the qualia structure framework now being developed in consciousness research. We first describe the limits of conventional methods, which measure experience along a few preselected axes, and then review prior work on sport qualia along two lines: the sensations of the moving subject and the changes in mood and cognition that exercise brings. As an alternative to traditional measurement methods, we introduce the qualia structure approach, which does not fix the axes in advance but rather builds the structure of experience from the relations among qualia, subjective similarity being one such relation. In practice, this approach can reveal where a coach's, a professional athlete's, and a beginner's sensations align and where they diverge, thereby informing coaching practice, among other things. More broadly, it may help reunify a field of sport science that has long been fragmented across its parent disciplines.
