Among these, \"sleep\" plays a critical role in recovering the body from the demands of intense training. Life skills are thought to be effective in improving the quality of sleep. Therefore, the present study aims to examine the relationship between subjective sleep quality, mental health, and the acquisition of LS in collegiate athletes, with a focus on gender differences. The participants were 153 student-athletes (98 males, 55 females; mean age 21.50±0.35 years) from S University in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The survey was conducted by the course instructor outside of regular class hours. As a result, in female athletes, there was a tendency for negative correlations between poorer sleep quality and the subscales of Life Skills, including \"Best Effort,\" \"Courtesy/Manners,\" and \"Responsible Behavior,\" as well as the overall LS score (all <em>p</em> < .10). However, a positive correlation was observed with a higher level of satisfaction with their current life (<em>r</em> = 0.28, <em>p</em> < .05). On the other hand, both male and female athletes showed a tendency for a negative correlation with \"Best Effort,\" and it was found that longer training hours were associated with improved sleep quality. These findings suggest that in higher education institutions, sleep should be positioned as a crucial activity to support Life Skills education and to ensure the smooth balancing of academic and athletic life for university student-athletes. Furthermore, there is a need for efforts to educate student-athletes on the importance of sleep, and it is essential for them to develop sleep management behaviors (skills) to the point where they can practice them unconsciously in their daily lives</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100129,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"5 2","pages":"Pages 81-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145108859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whilst it has been suggested that different sports have different visual requirements, there is no easy way to screen for these without having to rely on extensive testing of the visual abilities of elite athletes within the sport, which is often not a practical option. Consequently, in this paper, we designed and tested a screening questionnaire to elicit visual skills information from experts within the sport of field hockey in a quick and easily applicable manner. Descriptions of 23 visual skills were rated on a 5-point Likert scale by 481 participants to show how important they are perceived to be for field hockey players. All participants were involved in field hockey as players, coaches, or umpires. The same questionnaire was completed at a second time point by 129 of the original respondents to assess stability over time. Principal components analysis showed that the 23 visual skills loaded onto four visual skillsets. The perceived importance of these differed, with a perception that skills associated with visual interception and spatial positioning are more important than skills associated with maintaining focus on and recognising visual objects. Our findings suggest that the tool could be useful both to guide the focus of visual skills research in different sports and as a practical aid to coaches looking to systematically select the focus of visual skills training for their players.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100129,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"5 1","pages":"Pages 10-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This popularity extends to the field of sport psychology. Due to this popularity, many college student-athletes have exposure to mindfulness with or without the guidance of a sport psychology consultant or mindfulness teacher. Most mindfulness research in sport psychology has centered on the effectiveness of formal mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for performance enhancement and wellbeing. However, little to no evidence exists demonstrating how student-athletes understand mindfulness, and how this understanding might connect to motivation for continued practice or benefits received. Further, no research to our knowledge exists exploring the use of mindfulness practice by individual student-athletes outside of formal MBIs delivered in a group or team format. Moreover, some research proposes that the oversimplified incorporation of mindfulness in Western Psychology might be a factor in decreased participation and compliance with MBIs. The purposes of the present study were to investigate how athletes engage in and understand mindfulness practice and to explore potential benefits, barriers, and adverse experiences related to their practice. The Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) protocol (Hill, 2012) was utilized to examine the experiences of 15 college student-athletes with varying degrees of mindfulness exposure and practice. The analysis yielded three distinct domains, including (a) conceptual understanding, (b) details of mindfulness practice, and (c) contextual factors influencing practice.
