The WE is considered a longitudinal, multifaceted, unpredicted, noncontrolled, negative change-event, developed over four distinct stages with specific demands and responses: (a) a pre-war stage, (b) War stage-A accompanied by instability and confusion, (c) War stage-B characterized by active coping or regression, and (d) War stage-C; return to sport activity, modification of activity, or retirement. The development of this change process in sport performers’ careers is discussed within the context of the 2023 Israel-Hamas war.

Measures of psychological variables (i.e., imagery abilities and self-confidence) and also physical practice (i.e., actual performance) were implemented pre-, during, and post-intervention, so that the effectiveness of the intervention could be evaluated. Results showed that the systematic imagery training not only helped the development of imagery ability and the building of self-confidence, but also contributed to the athlete's excellent performance in a target competition.

Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine barriers and opinions to regularly engaging in different types of PA using taster sessions to provide recommendations on how to engage and sustain PA behaviour in older adults. A multi-phase, mixed-method study design on 12 older adults was used to gain insight into older adult's perceptions of five types of PA (two sports, resistance exercise, exergaming, yoga and home-based exercise). Perceptions of these types of PA were collected pre-taster sessions and were re-evaluated after all taster sessions using questionnaires and focus groups. Triangulation of data revealed that in general, all PA types were enjoyed, but yoga was least popular. Pre-taster sessions, home-based exercise and resistance exercise were most popular whereas following the taster sessions, preferences were for exergaming, resistance exercise and sports. Our data highlights the effective utility of taster sessions and combined with other literature; we present several key recommendations to help to improve engagement in long-term PA behaviour in various PA types. These include ensuring adequate social interaction between similarly aged and ability capable older adults during PA.

The study sample selected through purposive sampling from various sports disciplines within Macao and Anhui Province. Personality traits and perfectionism levels were assessed using the Simplified Chinese Big Five Personality Questionnaire (CBF-PI) and the Chinese Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Questionnaire (CFMPS). Results indicate that neuroticism and conscientiousness are crucial in predicting perfectionistic concerns and perfectionistic strivings, respectively. Three personality configurations leading to perfectionistic concerns were identified, with high neuroticism, high conscientiousness, low extraversion, and low openness being core conditions. Four configurations leading to perfectionistic strivings were identified, with low neuroticism, high conscientiousness, high agreeableness, and either high extraversion or high openness as core conditions. The study reveals the complex interactions between personality traits and challenges the variable-centered research approach.

This study used a series of single case experimental design (A-B-A) combined with ecological momentary assessment and individual interviews to explore and analyze the effect of physical exercise on emotion regulation in adults with BPD. Emotions of participants were monitored thrice daily with an app that prompted them to report their emotions on a 0–100 analogue scale.
