However, the extent to which acute exercise improves EF in children with preterm birth (PB) remains unknown. Furthermore, whether different types of exercise, such as aerobic exercise (AE) or resistance exercise (RE), have differential effects on EF in children with PB also remains unexplored. The present study investigated whether acute exercise performed by children with PB is beneficial for specific EF domains, such as planning, which is impacted by developmental deterioration in children with PB. We also determined the specific effects on EF moderated by AE and RE in children with PB. A total of 30 children with PB completed three sessions (AE, RE, control) for 30 minutes each, using a within-subjects crossover post-test comparison design. Following each session, the children performed a Tower of London (TOL) task, a neuropsychological test that measures the planning aspects of EF. The results revealed that compared with the control session, following acute exercise, the TOL task was performed with a fewer total move score, a shorter total executive time, and total problem-solving time, suggesting that acute exercise was beneficial for improved planning-related move and time efficiency. The present study also showed that children in either AE or RE exhibited similar and positive beneficial outcomes on the planning aspect of EF compared with those in sedentary control. These findings suggest that acute exercise, regardless of the exercise type, has the potential to facilitate EF in children with PB.KEYWORDS: Physical activitycognitive functionplanningTower of London task Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethical ApprovalThe authors assert this work complies with the ethical standards approved by the institutional review board.Informed ConsentInformed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.Additional informationFundingThis work was financially supported by the Premature Baby Foundation of Taiwan and by the National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan (107-2628-H-003-003-MY3; 110-2410-H-003-142-MY3; 111-2918-I-003-001, 111-2410-H-039-012, 112-2410-H-039-007) and by the “Social Emotional Education and Development Center” of National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) from The Featured Areas Research Center Program within the framework of the Higher Education Sprout Project by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Taiwan and by the Project of China Medical University (CMU111-N-30).","PeriodicalId":47505,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"36 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135568044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A supportive sport promotes the mental health of its athletes, team officials and staff play a crucial role in assisting athletes to seek help for their mental health when needed. However, studies have demonstrated that these individuals do not have sufficient knowledge to provide the appropriate support and assistance. Mental health literacy (MHL) is a major factor influencing support and help-seeking attitudes. Therefore, the current study aimed to provide support staff with knowledge about MHL to increase their MHL levels, reduce their stigma towards mental health issues, and improve their help-seeking attitude and their confidence in helping athletes with mental health issues. To this end, a two-arm non-randomised controlled trial was used, during which one 4-hour MHL workshop was delivered to 74 team officials and staff between the ages of 22–54 (M = 35.65, SD = 8.16). Data were collected at three time points (pre-intervention, post- intervention and follow-up). The results showed that the participants in the MHL group significantly outperformed those in the wait list control (WLC) group in terms of improved MHL and help-seeking attitude and reduced stigma. However, compared with the WLC group, the participants’ confidence in helping athletes with mental health issues did not significantly improve at post- and follow-up examinations. This study has practical implications for interventions designed to promote MHL among Chinese team officials and staff in elite sports and provides suggestions for future research on MHL and help-seeking.KEYWORDS: Mental health literacyhelp-seekingteam officials and staffelite sport AcknowledgmentProfessional English language editing support provided by AsiaEdit (asiaedit.com).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Hubei Province Social Science Post-Grant Project: [grant number HBSK2022YB573].","PeriodicalId":47505,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present paper describes a method of identifying hot-hand behavior in which data from amateur 10-pin bowlers were fit with a model containing dynamically varying probabilities of success and failure (hot-hand model) and one with fixed probabilities (stable model). Full-season data of 27 out of 40 bowlers were found to be better fit by the hot-hand model. Following success, different bowlers showed increased or decreased probability of success (hot-hand behavior or underperformance, respectively). Analysis of the two halves of each bowler’s data indicated that the extent of hot-hand behavior or underperformance varied across the season. Overall, results suggest that the conditional probabilities that define performance can vary in an individual over time such that anticipation of hot-hand performance can be a reasonable expectation in certain circumstances.KEYWORDS: Hot handstreaksbowlingprobabilistic modelling AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Flaherty’s Arden Bowl in Arden Hills, Minnesota for providing the data used in these analyses.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, MAS, upon reasonable request.","PeriodicalId":47505,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"13 33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136294754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also examined whether (a) emergent states mediated the relationship between teamwork execution and perceived team performance, and (b) teamwork execution mediated the relationship between emergent states and perceived team performance. We adopted a longitudinal design, taking measures of each variable near the beginning, middle, and end of teams’ seasons. Participants included 657 athletes (104 teams), aged 16–43 years (M = 23.56, SD = 5.72; 71% men), and from a range of team sports and competitive levels. Structural equation models showed teamwork execution was positively and reciprocally related to collective efficacy as well as task cohesion (but not social cohesion). Teamwork execution also predicted perceived team performance over time but a reciprocal effect was not evident. Finally, task cohesion and collective efficacy mediated the longitudinal association between teamwork execution and perceived team performance; however, teamwork execution did not mediate the relationship between those emergent states and perceived team performance. These findings provide initial evidence of longitudinal relationships between teamwork execution, two emergent states, and perceived performance. It appears particularly important that coaches and practitioners focus on developing teamwork execution from the outset of their team’s season as this appears to translate over time into greater task cohesion and collective efficacy and, in turn, team performance.KEYWORDS: Collective efficacyeffectivenessgroup cohesiongroup dynamicsteam sports Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 All players included in the present study participated in a larger project examining the association between several group dynamics in team sports during a season.

With recent growth in research on the psychology of Gaelic games and developments in sport science policy in this context, there is a need to map and clarify understanding of psychology in Gaelic games. Against this backdrop, we conducted a scoping review that aimed to identify and synthesise current literature on the psychology of Gaelic games, with the intention of generating findings that could have implications for research, policy, and practice. After electronic database searches and manual searches up to September 2023, we included data from 42 articles involving 4963 Gaelic games participants in the review. We organised findings into eight categories: mental health and wellbeing; burnout; youth coaching practices; psychology of injury; attentional processes; optimal experiences and performing under pressure; identity; and female coach development. In light of the findings, we offer (a) five recommendations for researchers to strengthen the quality of research in future, and (b) five implications for policy and practice, some of which might also be transferable to other sport contexts. We believe that consideration of our recommendations for research can build a stronger and more coherent evidence base for policy and practice. By doing so, this can ultimately lead to more meaningful and tangible benefits for all in Gaelic games.","PeriodicalId":47505,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135816971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific aims of this paper are to provide an overview of research results of quantitative studies that set out to explore relationships between early specialisation and psychological aspects, and to critically examine the designs of such studies. As such, study design characteristics including participant demographics, the psychological aspects represented, and the research questions and results are explored. Data searches were conducted in PubMed, SportDiscus, and PsychINFO using search terms such as “early sport speciali*”. Twenty-one relevant papers met the inclusion criteria. The results highlight that the published papers in this area are broad in some respects (variety of sports, performance levels, and gender), but narrow in others (North American dominance, few psychological aspects explored, and few papers per psychological aspect). Many of the studies are based on cross-sectional and retrospective self-reports.

Existing sport parenting literature has relied on study-designed instruments and/or psychometric instruments not developed or validated for use in the sport-specific context. The present multi-study research programme sought to develop and validate a theory-informed measure of parental support in youth sport. In study one, athletes’ perceptions of parental support were explored to gain an in-depth qualitative understanding of parental support. The findings from study one were subsequently utilised to inform the generation of initial scale items (70 items) which reflected parental support in study two. Content validity was then established during study two, through an expert panel of judges (n = 5) and members of the target population (n = 7). During study three, retained items (33 items) were administered to a sample of youth athletes (n = 318) for further item reduction and to explore the factor structure of the instrument, utilising exploratory factor analysis (EFA). In study four, a 19-item measure was administered to a second independent sample of youth athletes (n = 319), to confirm the factor structure of the instrument utilising confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Following minor ad-hoc modifications, the final four-factor, 18-item YSPS-Q (autonomy; emotional; instrumental; informational support) demonstrated excellent model fit. Moreover, the 18-item YSPS-Q demonstrated good reliability, alongside convergent, and divergent validity. The YSPS-Q will enable researchers to effectively evaluate future parent-support programmes, and assist researchers in understanding what factors moderate its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":47505,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135060787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
