Indicative of this growth, numerous edited books, literature reviews and consensus statements have been produced. This research has yielded important insights into psychological factors implicated in injury risk, rehabilitation and return to sport. Our aim in this paper is to examine the psychology of sport injury literature, spanning injury onset, rehabilitation and the return to sport following injury, and to critically examine three key debates and/or issues of contemporary relevance. Towards this end, we first discuss definitional, conceptual and theoretical issues. Second, we synthesize key empirical findings regarding psychological factors implicated in injury occurrence, rehabilitation and return to sport following injury. Third, we discuss three contemporary debates and/or challenges relevant to moving the psychology of sport injury research and clinical practice forward. In particular, we examine: 1. the issue of what rehabilitation adherence is and whether adherence to a structured rehabilitation program is beneficial for achieving rehabilitation (clinical, functional) and sport-specific outcomes; 2. challenges associated with assessment of psychological readiness to return to sport; and 3. whether injured athletes are honest when completing subjective, self-report measures. Finally, we advance various directions for future scholarship. In addressing these four areas, we hope to stimulate further research and debate within the psychology of sport injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":94181,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sport and exercise","volume":" ","pages":"102921"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144304154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In PA-intervention studies involving children, youth and adults with disabilities, the effects tend to be inconsistent and relatively small. In this paper, I argue that the true effects of PA on QOL/SWB in people with disabilities have been masked by mis-conceptualization and mis-measurement of QOL/SWB, and a lack of theoretical specification of how PA may influence QOL/SWB. I begin with an overview of the QOL and SWB concepts followed by a review of quantitative and qualitative research on the effects of PA on QOL/SWB among people living with disabilities. Research from sport and exercise psychology that aims to explain how PA improves QOL/SWB is synthesized along with QOL theorizing from the parent discipline of psychology. In the final section, I integrate these perspectives into a Quality Participation Model of Physical Activity and Quality of Life/Subjective Well-Being with recommendations for researchers and interventionists. PA can make a substantive difference in the lives of people with disabilities; however, researchers and interventionists must be more careful when designing and assessing PA interventions to improve QOL/SWB.</p>","PeriodicalId":94181,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sport and exercise","volume":" ","pages":"102916"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research on physical activity behaviour change has continued to expand and evolve since the turn of the millennium, guided by diverse theoretical approaches-from social cognitive theories, organismic dialectical approaches such as Self-Determination Theory, dual-process frameworks, and integrated practical models and taxonomies. Key challenges and opportunities remain, however, and in this paper we offer several calls to action for those working to advance physical activity behaviour change theory, research, and practice. First, we advocate for more precise examination of behaviour change itself, moving beyond static models to incorporate dynamic theories and methodologies (including data analysis) that better capture how behaviours evolve and change over time. Second, we emphasise the need to prioritise behaviour maintenance, recognising that many interventions succeed in initiating change but fail to support long-term adherence. Third, we call for a concerted effort to broaden our target populations in behaviour change research, ensuring that interventions (and the theories that inform them) are more inclusive, widely applicable, contextually relevant, and equitable. Finally, we highlight the growing recognition of automatic processes in shaping physical activity behaviours and outline the importance of refining measurement tools and intervention strategies to account for these non-conscious influences. These considerations are articulated with a view to supporting the next generation of physical activity behaviour change research and practice, and in doing so contribute to improved population health equity and outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":94181,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sport and exercise","volume":" ","pages":"102918"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examples of embodied decisions include a hunting lioness's decision of which gazelle to chase and a soccer player's decision of which teammate to pass the ball to. The study of embodied decisions has recently gained tractions across several fields, including cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and sports science. Here, we summarize key insights from these studies and highlight that they imply a shift of perspective from viewing decision-making as a central cognitive process largely separated from perception and action dynamics to a more integrative perspective that recognizes its embodied and situated nature. We discuss how embodied decisions can be effectively conceptualized in terms of the parallel specification and selection between available (and future) affordances, i.e., as an \"affordance competition\" process. We discuss studies addressing various aspects of embodied decisions, which include the selection between courses of action, the involvement of motor processes in perceptual and cognitive tasks, motivational factors and the decision of how vigorously and urgently to act. Furthermore, we highlight current controversies in the field and open directions for future work - and their implications for the advancement of our understanding of the mind and the behavior of athletes.</p>","PeriodicalId":94181,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sport and exercise","volume":" ","pages":"102915"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144277102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores association football referees' inhibitory control and decision-making across different levels of expertise. Utilizing the Stop-Signal Task (SST) to assess response suppression and a video-based decision-making task, we investigated whether higher-level referees would demonstrate superior performance in both domains. Participants included 24 football referees from the Spanish Football Federation, divided into recreational (n=12) and sub-elite (n=12) levels. The findings revealed no significant differences in decision-making outcomes between the groups. No significant differences were observed across expertise levels in reaction and decision times. However, sub-elite referees exhibited better response suppression capabilities, as indicated by lower Stop-Signal Reaction Time (SSRT), suggesting enhanced inhibitory control. Correlational analyses between SST and decision-making variables showed minimal associations, indicating the complex nature of decision-making beyond inhibitory control. A further analysis, segregating referees based on their response suppression capacity, highlighted that referees with higher response suppression made more accurate disciplinary decisions than those with lower response suppression. This study underscores the importance of response suppression in the cognitive skillset of football referees, suggesting a subtle association between response suppression and decision-making. Among other future applications, the potential of training to enhance response suppression and its impact on in-game decision-making performance should be explored.</p>","PeriodicalId":94181,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sport and exercise","volume":" ","pages":"102908"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144259778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding how emotional stimuli capture attention and consume cognitive resources is vital for studying attention regulation in athletes. This study assessed athletes' ability to inhibit emotional distractions using the Sport Emotional Stroop Task in English (SEST-E). Administered to 66 English-speaking athletes, the task revealed significantly longer reaction time for negative valence sports words and shorter reaction time for positive valence words compared to neutral valence words. These results support the valence hypothesis and the negativity bias. Emotional valence distinctly influences attentional processing, with negative stimuli prolonging distraction by task-irrelevant information and positive stimuli facilitating traction to task-relevant information. The latter findings provide evidence for the mood-as-information theory. Incorporating negative valence stimuli into training to improve attention control and emphasizing positive aspects of training and competition are practical applications from the present findings. Overall, the SEST-E appears to be a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners to assess and address emotional influence on athlete performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":94181,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sport and exercise","volume":" ","pages":"102913"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144259777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
