We then analyzed the data utilizing the social network analysis and the quadratic assignment procedure correlation technique. The results suggested a moderate correlation between each type of athlete leadership (i.e., task, motivational, and social leadership) across the three teams. Moderate correlations were also found between each of athlete leadership quality and the amount of communication. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that athlete leadership qualities were applicable to the Japanese context and empirically clarified the relationship between athlete leadership qualities and the amount of communication.

Yet, even though all professions are called upon to embed SD into their work to facilitate change, and even though sport and exercise psychology professionals could play an important role in this process, there seems to be only little awareness of the need to contribute to SD as a discipline. This paper aims at changing this by elaborating on the reasons why sport and exercise psychologists should care about SD and the SDGs; it explains how psychologists and their clients can benefit from using the principles of SD to guide their professional work and decision making. It will be illustrated how sport and exercise psychology professionals can promote sustainable physical activity and sustainable elite sport, and how they can contribute to the achievement of internationally agreed societal, and global goals as practitioners, as teachers, and as researchers.

We applied a new imagery dose-response protocol, in which we varied frequency, but systematically held the other two key imagery dose variables (repetitions and duration of sessions) constant. Participants were 40 male basketball players (Mage = 20.92, <em>SD</em> = 3.01) who were allocated into four conditions: 3 imagery sessions per week, 4 imagery sessions per week, 5 imagery sessions per week, and a control condition. All 3 imagery conditions had 4 weeks of imagery training. For all four conditions, we measured free throw shooting (FTS) at pre-test, Week 1, 2, 3, post-test, and retention test (Week 5). Control condition participants performed their usual basketball practice with no imagery training. Results showed that the 4 imagery sessions per week condition had the highest FTS means at post-test and retention test, with FTS means that were significantly higher than the control condition at post-test and retention test.

From in-depth interviews, young dancers have reported using various types of imagery (e.g., technique, metaphorical, goal, environment, and motivational) and that their images were multisensory in nature including visual and kinesthetic modalities. Moreover, dance instructors have been found to influence their dancers’ use of imagery and imagery ability through incorporation and encouragement in their classes. However, the impact of training frequency on young dancers’ imagery use and ability has yet to be assessed. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to examine imagery use, using the Dance Imagery Questionnaire for Children, and imagery ability, using the Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children in dancers with different training frequency (i.e., number of classes per week). It was hypothesized that dancers with more weekly training would have higher imagery use and ability than dancers with less weekly training. The participants were dancers of various styles (e.g., ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary) between the ages of 7-14 years (<em>M_age</em> = 11.05, 1.88), with 36 dancers training 1- 4 dance classes/week, and 24 training 5-9 or more dance classes/week. A significant difference was found for metaphorical/role imagery such that dancers who trained more often used this imagery type more frequently than dancers who trained less often. Although the dancers who trained most scored higher on all imagery ability subscales (internal, external, and kinesthetic), no significant difference between the two dance groups was found.

In this study, we investigated Internal (IP) and External Imagery Perspectives (EP) and actual copying of movement to deepen understanding of the character of imagery perspectives. Research on IP and EP shows that the superiority of one perspective in terms of performance enhancement is still equivocal. Further research is required to understand the character of IP and EP, and to establish how they affect learning and performance of motor skills. We applied a Stimulus-Response (S-R) compatibility protocol to a finger-movement, choice-reaction time (CRT) task to differentiate response latencies for actual copying of the movement, and IP and EP of the movement, after watching internal and external stimulus videos of the CRT button-pressing task. We used paired t-tests to analyse the differences in decision time and movement time for external and internal stimulus videos, in the physical copying of the movement condition. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine differences in response times for movement, IP, and EP imagery conditions for internal and external video stimuli. Results showed that the response times in both imagery perspective conditions were significantly slower than response times in the physical movement condition. It was further revealed that response times were faster for the internal view than the external view for the movement and IP conditions, whereas EP latencies were faster for external than internal video stimuli. We concluded that the S-R compatibility protocol can be used to confirm use of IP and EP, which is questionable in studies where participants are simply instructed to use IP or EP, and it is assumed they follow instructions, or even when they are asked to confirm use of IP or EP at the end of studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100129,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 131-138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667239122000314/pdfft?md5=49092cfbf8a17566dfec73af92212b9e&pid=1-s2.0-S2667239122000314-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82355703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
