Resumo:

Employing practice-led inquiry, this research considers the possibilities of colaboration between the fields of Design and Sports Science through the development of game simulators that are developed to improve cognitive skills in rugby athletes.

Emanating from a participatory paradigm, the study seeks to address complex problems while drawing upon knowledge and experiences of practitioners in sport contexts, including coaches, athletes, and a game simulation development team. It is estimated that the artifacts resulting from this process may increase rugby performance (Antonio, 2017). The game aims to enhance the cognitive skills of players specifically in areas like anticipation, processing speed and decision making in two-on-one situations.

During the investigation, a simulation game will be developed to assist coaches and athletes in decision-making when training. The game development process will empldy prototyping cycles inside an. Agile Methodology with SCRUM Framework. Here the researcher and her development team will work closely with players and coaches and at crucial times, demands will be discussed and prototypes developed and evaluated.

This research is supported by a partnership between Auckland University of Technology (in Aotearoa/New Zealand) and Anhembi Morumbi University (in Brazil). This international cooperation generates a fertile environment for the emergence of new approaches.
