Here, we investigated these preparatory processes associated with inhibitory control using the anti-saccade paradigm, in which participants are instructed, prior to target appearance, either to automatically look at the target (pro-saccade) or to suppress this automatic response and intentionally look in the opposite direction (anti-saccade). We focused on microsaccadic eye movements that happen before saccade responses in either pro- or anti-saccade tasks, as these microsaccades reflect ongoing preparatory processes during saccade planning before execution. We hypothesized that athletes, compared to non-athletes, would demonstrate better preparation, given research generally indicating higher inhibitory control in athletes. Our findings showed that microsaccade rates decreased before target appearance, with lower rates observed during anti-saccade preparation compared to pro-saccade preparation. However, microsaccade rates and metrics did not differ significantly between athletes and non-athletes. Moreover, reduced microsaccade rates were associated with improved task performance in non-athletes, leading to higher accuracy and faster saccade reaction times (SRTs) in trials without microsaccades. For athletes, only SRTs were affected by microsaccade occurrence. Moreover, the modulation of microsaccadic inhibition on accuracy was more pronounced in non-athletes compared to athletes. In conclusion, while microsaccade responses were modulated by task preparation, differences between athletes and non-athletes were non-significant. These findings, for the first time, highlight the potential of using microsaccades as an online objective index to study preparatory sets in sports science research.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54536,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Sport and Exercise","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102818"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143124246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, performing a cognitive task during a self-paced exercise could lead to cognitive-physical interactions. We explored cognitive-physical interactions by applying time-domain Granger Causality (a correlation analysis that uses a temporal series of one variable to improve the prediction of values in a temporal series of another variable given its past values) to data that combined 20 min of indoor self-paced high-intensity cycling and a Sustained Attention to Response cognitive task, and to data that combined 30 min of indoor self-paced high-intensity cycling and a stimulus-response conflict task. Moreover, we explored whether greater experience in cycling would reduce the need for exerting cognitive attentional control and therefore dual-task effects. The results showed that the experienced cycling group (i.e., at least 4 days of weekly cycling training in the last 3 years) demonstrated better overall physical performance than the non-experienced cycling group (i.e., at least 4 days of weekly training in another endurance sport different to cycling in the last 3 years), while no evidence of differences in cognitive performance was obtained. The results also showed that reaction times and power output interacted bidirectionally in a reduced sample of experienced cyclists and non-experienced cyclists. Hence, cognitive-physical interactions may not be excluded for every single high-fit athlete, irrespective of their particular exercise experience.

We aimed to explore carers' perspectives on the influences on children in care's participation and experiences in organised sport. We interviewed 26 foster and kinship carers and analysed data through a reflexive thematic analysis approach. We identified five themes regarding participation and experiences in sport for children in care. Carers reported that (1) children in care's vulnerability, resulting from past traumatic experiences, left them feeling uncertain in their environment and ‘different’ to other children. Carers also described (2) the importance of their own values, and (3) the difficulties they face in navigating challenges related to out-of-home care. Finally, they discussed (4) how other people in sporting environments, and (5) overarching systems and entities, significantly impact children in care's participation and experiences in sport. Our study extends existing literature by amplifying the voices of foster and kinship carers to deepen our understanding of the influences most critical for children in care's participation and experiences in sport. Based on our findings, we encourage prioritisation of sport within policy impacting children in out-of-home care, and greater flexibility among sporting organisations to support children in care's needs.

Previous studies have found that soccer players typically exhibit a vigilance advantage, but the underlying cognitive and neural basis for this is unclear. In this study, 27 soccer players, 17 age-matched artistic gymnasts, and 57 college students were recruited to participate in a psychomotor vigilance task. Compared to the college students, the soccer players demonstrated higher vigilance, whereas the artistic gymnasts did not. Drift-Diffusion Modeling revealed that soccer players' non-decision time was significantly lower than that of college students, while drift rate and boundary were not significantly different between the two groups. This suggests that the vigilance advantage of soccer players stems from their shorter information encoding and action generation time. Vigilance was not only correlated with Right Ventral lateral (rtVL), Left Intralaminar (ltIL), Left Mediodorsal medial magnocellular (ltMDm) and Right Mediodorsal medial mag-no-cellular (rtMDm) thalamic subregions, and also correlates with the functional connectivity be-tween the thalamic subregions of rtVL and Right Intralaminar (rtIL), and rtVL and Left Ventral anterior (ltVA). And, rtVL may be an important region of vigilance dominance in soccer players.
