{"title":"Olympic and Paralympic coaches’ perceived barriers to mental health help-seeking: a concept mapping study","authors":"Joshua Frost, Courtney C Walton, Alex Donaldson, Simon M Rice, Rosemary Purcell","doi":"10.1136/bjsports-2024-109247","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2024-109247","url":null,"abstract":"Objectives To investigate challenges associated with mental health help-seeking among Olympic and Paralympic coaches. The study also sought to identify which challenges were most important and feasible to address. Methods The study employed a mixed-methods group concept mapping methodology. Participants brainstormed, sorted (into groups) and rated (for importance and feasibility) statements on 5-point Likert scales in response to the prompt, ‘What makes it challenging for an Olympic or Paralympic coach to seek help for their mental health?’. Nineteen Olympic coaches, Paralympic coaches and mental health professionals participated. Results Participants brainstormed 68 unique statements. Ranked by importance, 10 core clusters of challenges were identified: (1) pressures and instability within high-performance sports environments, (2) stigma associated with mental health help-seeking, (3) lack of prioritisation for own mental health care, (4) lack of environmental safety to seek mental health support, (5) lack of adequate mental health literacy, (6) time constraints, (7) expectations to manage role-related pressures, (8) misconceptions about mental resilience, (9) lack of access to mental health support, and (10) hesitance to engage with mental health practitioners. A ‘lack of adequate mental health literacy’ and ‘pressures and instability within high-performance sports environments’ were rated the most and least feasible challenges to address, respectively. Conclusion While dynamic individual factors with high feasibility may offer short-term solutions (eg, mental health literacy), sports organisations should prioritise eliminating culturally embedded barriers deterring coaches from seeking help. Considering their unique insights, coaches and mental health professionals should play an active role in developing psychological supports for coaches.

Consequently, many females report not being asked about their pelvic health, and athletes, in particular, report being unlikely to disclose pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) symptoms to a healthcare professional.2 This editorial aims to highlight the importance of addressing PFD openly within SEM and to foster a supportive dialogue between clinicians and athletes to help female athletes manage and overcome this condition. PFD is an umbrella term encompassing several clinical features including pain, compromised urinary and/or faecal continence, impaired voiding and reduced pelvic organ support.3 The incidence and prevalence of PFD increase with advancing age and are influenced by specific life events such as vaginal childbirth, as well as by the type and intensity of physical activity or sports participation. Nevertheless, PFD can manifest at any stage throughout the lifespan.4 In the female athletic population, symptoms can manifest quite early in an athlete’s career rather than being linked to returning to sport after childbirth, and symptoms may also emerge or intensify during transitional life stages such as perimenopause, …","PeriodicalId":9276,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144211117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I acquired nicknames such as ‘Roy Keane’ when I played football and ‘McCarry’ when I played rugby. These nicknames usually arose from my love for getting stuck in and putting my body in places most wouldn’t. At age 20, my whole life changed. Without warning, I collapsed on 3 June 2017, later diagnosed with a complete spinal cord injury at my 10th thoracic vertebrae. After months of medical appointments, doctors identified a neurological condition called transverse myelitis that causes inflammation around the spinal cord. I was left paralysed, losing the use of my legs, most of my core muscles and control over my bowels and bladder. I couldn’t stand or sit unassisted. I couldn’t take myself to the toilet. I realised that there were so many of life’s simple pleasures that I had taken for granted. I was scared. I felt vulnerable, and, ultimately, I believed that I wasn’t worthy of living life anymore, often thinking the world would be a better place without me in it. What I didn’t realise was that my spinal cord injury was the start of an undeniable purpose, showing the world what is possible in the face of adversity. This purpose was born at the WheelPower Inter Spinal Unit Games (a competition that gives people the opportunity to try new sports following a recent spinal cord injury). Initially, I struggled with para-sports because I had such fond memories of playing sports before my injury. That was until I was asked to compete in the para powerlifting event on the last day. I won and instantly fell in love. Ultimately, para powerlifting saved my life. Not only did it allow me to go toe-to-toe with …","PeriodicalId":9276,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144201880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Participants (n=415) in this trial were randomised 2:1 to an interactive physical activity website or a static balance and flexibility control website. Participants provided accelerometer data at baseline and at 3 (M3), 6 (M6) and 12 months (M12). Linear mixed models were used to investigate changes in MVPA and sedentary time overall, stratified by website use, and among participants who were inactive at baseline (<150 min MVPA/week). Results Participants were mostly women (n=391, 94%) with an average age of 63 (SD=12) years. In intent-to-treat models, there were no statistically significant between-group differences in MVPA or sedentary time at any time point. However, participants who frequently used the physical activity website (ie, once per week for ≥80% of the study period) were significantly more active at M3 (mean (95% CI); 44 (40 to 48) min/day intervention vs 35 (30 to 39) min/day control), though differences between groups were no longer meaningfully different at M6 or M12. Similarly, among participants who were inactive at baseline, the intervention resulted in an additional 50 min of MVPA per week compared with the control at M3. Conclusion While the intervention was not effective in the overall cohort, it increased MVPA in the short term among cancer survivors who frequently used the website or were inactive at baseline.

This event not only highlighted the athletic talent of participants from around the world but also highlighted the crucial role of sports therapists in safeguarding the athlete’s health and performance. Coventry University and the University of Wolverhampton played a significant role in providing sports therapy services through a voluntary initiative, where students had the opportunity to sign up and contribute their skills to support the event. This not only demonstrated the importance of academic institutions in supporting international sports events, but also provided students with valuable hands-on experience in a high-performance setting. This initiative not only underscores the advanced musculoskeletal expertise and clinical competencies of sports therapists but also serves as a powerful platform to showcase their professional capabilities. Moreover, providing such opportunities significantly enhances the student experience, offering real-world exposure that supports both personal and professional development. The 2025 Kabaddi World Cup was an indoor tournament organised by World Kabaddi, which has 56 member federations, and featured both men’s and women’s competitions.

Over 2000 years ago, practitioners in India, China, Greece and the Roman Empire espoused the importance of exercise for the maintenance and restoration of health.1 In the centuries that followed, the writings of Hippocrates and Galen centralised the role of physical activity in healthcare, a mantra echoed by sixteenth century practitioners such as Mendez (Book of Bodily Exercise) and Mercuriale (De Arte Gymnastica). As the sun rose on medicine as we know it, practitioners such as Buchan continued the leitmotif that ‘…exercise is not less necessary than food for the preservation of health’2 The twentieth century saw a boom in the promotion of physical activity in various forms under the guise of physical culture. Advocates such as Eugene Sandow believed that ‘exercise should be prescribed like medicine’ since movement was considered ‘…natures’ cure for disease’. He suggested that in the future, the medical practitioner ‘…will be a doctor of exercise rather than a doctor of …","PeriodicalId":9276,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144201868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
