Sport Psychology - Science topic

Hello, have a good day. kindly visit a google scholar and sci hub soups article. Thank You.

Hi Dr. Junsu,

From memory, I think the Hayes book (Introduction to Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional Process Analysis) mentions this issue. If you are dealing with a reviewer's comment, I would just explain the difference between a simple bivariate correlation versus a complex model, and how relationships can differ because of the inclusion of multiple other variables in a complex model.

Hope this information helps.

Kind Regards,

Lorcan.

Good luck

Yes .I am interested.

Sports Psychology is something ESSENTIAL (the classics have already told us: "mens sana in corpore sana" -a healthy mind in a healthy body-); in fact, Ps. Sports and Physical Activity has its own section in the APA, as SUBDIVISION AND ESSENTIAL AREA OF PSYCHOLOGY; In this regard, I suggest and advise you to read our contributions on the subject (Articles, Chapters, Presentations, Preprints, etc.) here in "RG": Thank you

The first thing is to determine the age groups.

Second, the development of psychological tests.

Third, the testers' evaluation.

Fourth, putting the questions according to the standards and tests.

Good evening! In my doctoral thesis I created a questionnaire for combativeness.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES REGARDING THE OPTIMIZATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL PREPARATION IN JUDO

Stephan F. Dahm I happy to connect with you regarding the different possibilities. iMotions platform integrates with presentation. The choice of HW depends on your requirements such as signal quality, wired/wireless and budget.

We developed and have used the Sports Inventory for Pain (SIP) since 1992, to look at trait response following injuries. Originaly based on Epstein's stress inoculation theory. Numerous studies have been published using the SIP.

Dear Colleague,

I just started to collect data on exactly this topic as part of a more comprehensive meta-research study regarding orthopedic and sports medicine literature.

I think right now, most studies with a medical background pre-register in classic registries for clinical trials like clinicaltrials.gov or the german equivalent DRKS. Regarding studies without medical background, I would say OSF pre-registration formats are more common and I expect that the proportion of registration and preprints in STORK will increase in future.

Best,

Robert

Based on the theory, two types of motivation are known: internal and external.

We have both researchers and athletes with key info. on this topic... Suggesting Noel Brick Mike Rogerson Jessie Barr Jürgen Beckmann Marc Jones Giovanna Calogiuri see our book for example-case study chapters may be useful Andree Walkin Greig Oliver @MaireTNC

To study HRV in a scientific research environment it's important to record the ECG. The ECG is the basis for heart beat detection and once its saved by the device you are able to check, whether all heart beats are correctly identified.

We made good expierence with Hexoskin Hx1 and Faros 180°/360°.

Dear Dineia

That will greatly depend on what and when you want to measure (the methodological details). The POMS has been widely used, but it focus mainly on negative moods. The PANAS-X considers a wider variety of emotions (clinical setting). The Sport Emotional Questionnaire is thought to represent more accurately the positive and negative emotions experienced specifically by athletes. The Affect Grid provides a very brief measure of the hedonic tone and activation of present emotional states, particularly useful for scenarios of online monitoring/fluctuations of emotional states - it won't allow identification of the specific emotions, but it will identify if the athlete is experiencing pleasant/unpleasant emotional states and associated high/low arousal.

Hope it helps. Good luck

Luis

I agree on using the SMS, additonally have a look at the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale to consider basic needs and its link to motivation and the Sport Climate Questionnaire if you want to specifically control for the influence of the coaches

Thank you very much for your response!

Kindly go through the following RG links.

Kindly see the following RG links.

You may find this helpful.

You can used a forced choice inventory If you are looking for concise responses. If you want a detailing of the same you could supplement this with an interview schedule.

The choice of the scale being used is dependent primarily on the purpose of the study but the statistical robustness of the same should not be overlooked.

Psychologically whole humans desires forms from childhood. So this will effect later on their inclination to choice one sport

Try and for experiments, for a discussion of practical strategies, and for a survey on what athletes do.

This answer to the auestion "Is sport science about individual holistic approach, or inter-individual reductionistic specialism?" comes from half a century of research experience, with my first scientific paper having been published in 1969. Wholism and reductionism are labels for formalistic conceptions that may exist in the conceptions of sport philosophers but rarely if ever comprise useful frameworks for research. At the outset of any research problem one rarely knows all of what will be needed to answer the question, and must add new knowledge as one moves along. Far more than first knowing all of what may be needed is choosing the most important problem that one has a reasonable chance of solving (i.e. working in the "Medawar Zone" as it has aptly been termed.

Dear Cheng, 

I was working with athletes from tennis players to sharpshooters.

First step for me is good anamnesis (what is a problem)

Then EEG. After that I'm looking correlations.

I don't like word "protocol". I'm trying to work individuallly.

Please, write my some more details in private message, I will take a look.

Best wishes,

Concerning risk I would advise to look at qualitative risk techniques a bit more, e.g.

Raftery, J., 1994. Risk analysis in project management. Spon, 1994.    

To contextualise, the references already provided should help you.

There are quite a few studies which have explored the dimension of physical activity in autism spectrum disorders. There are studies that have explored the differences in physical activity of children with ASD and the typically developed. A few studies have explored the concept of physical activity in terms of intervention. I have attached a few links that may help.

Dear Guilherme, thank you! 

thank you Rachel ! Very useful articles !

Jeremy, You may want to include the use of mental imagery, positive self-talk, and etc. In order to increase performance, the athlete must incorporate them into their routine. The level of use would indicate the coache's perception of performance.

@Benedikt Mitter  It's true that is not specified if it is either dynamic or static stretching, my bad i'm sorry i dont know why i suposed it. And about the velocity studies i mentioned i think is quite interesting the fact that such a non linear exercise as the pull up provides such similar results as the ones with the smith machine. However I'm really looking forward to see what results you guys get as I really hope that velocity based training  becomes to norm, provably due to my engeneering self wanting a physical magnitude to work with everyday.

Thank you for responding and i wish you the best luck with the participants and i hope noone drops :)

You can use "Sources of sport confidence" \you can find the article using Google search and see what is their score on the scale "Environmental comfort". If the score is high then discomfort will most probably decrease their confidence.

Anyway in both cases: 1. after they had comfortable environment you put them in discomfort conditions (they will be too sensitive to discomfort)  and also 2. after discomfort you put them in too comfortable conditions -  in both cases the performance will suffer.

I agree with Alejandro you need to be careful using GPS.

I am currently re-validating a number of electronic movement tracking systems that are used in Premier League football to record pitch based training (GPS) and match physical outputs (Cameras) as we know they have pretty good agreement in terms of total distance but with reference to more explosive metrics there are significant validity concerns which are highlighted in the literature.

kind regards 

I would argue that you need to look at what the function or purpose of the team is or does. Your measure of team performance (as an outcome) has to be linked to what they exist to do. Anything else that you measure (inputs like the examples given above I.e. Collaboration etc) must be ratified against this or it becomes a purely intellectual exercise.

It depends on arousal definition. but you probably will found some idea in these article.

Hello

If mental images are part of the normal training, then there will be differences in performance between high and low in training in training.

If mental images are not in the usual training, you can find an uncertain outcome.

David I can send you a chapter if you send me your email adddress--eloke@rhsmith.umd.edu

Hi, I advice you uses a sample of runners, because is a sport that nowadays practice a lot of people and there are many races every weekend and you can compare this data with professional athletes. I and my research group are investigating some psychological variables in this group of people and we are finding some conclusions really interesting, cos amateur runners each time more are living like a professional athletes.

I hope it help you¡

Hi Modau,

It would be age, gender, Socio-economic status, knowledge on diseases, father's and mother's education level, accessibility to sports at school or community .and cultural norms etc.  It could be best surveyed with a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods . In a research I conducted among adolescents the above factors contributed in adolescent participation in sports.

Dear Dr. Jason

Olympic weightlifting training (variations of the Olympic clean and jerk, and snatch lifts) is more effective in generate power than traditional resistance training. and this articles will assist you:

1- Effect of Olympic and traditional resistance training on vertical jump improvement in high school boys.

2- Olympic weightlifting and plyometric training with children provides similar or greater performance improvements than traditional resistance training.

3- Olympic weightlifting training improves vertical jump height in sportspeople: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

4- Comparison of Olympic vs. traditional power lifting training programs in football players.

5- Olympic weightlifting training causes different knee muscle-coactivation adaptations compared with traditional weight training

6- Vertical jump biomechanics after plyometric, weight lifting, and combined (weight lifting + plyometric) training

7- Comparison of Two Twelve Week Off-Season Combined Training Programs on Entry Level Collegiate Soccer Players' Performance

I hope the best for you.

awesome I will look into that article. it seems there is a whole in research with video effect as i have found some good evidence is nursing journals where by video effects behaviour etc, But nothing in sport as such.

The inverted U will be used as I am confident with my information when relating anxiety to performance increase or decrease. Its the link to video I need so that I can use my research question and do my own testing.

The hard part seems that video is used heavily in sport but the effects of it are just being ignored.

I really appreciate the help thank you so much.

Dear Jens,

Indeed, this topic is very large, there are a rich material to be explored . Nowadays, we have many possibilities to discuss it, (i.e, the application of the multi-dimensional model) is very interesting. In any way, I sent to you some articles, inside them you will look anothers important references about this subject.

Best regards.

Hello Brad,

Having been a coach involved in training and evaluating athletes, I can state from experience, the only subjective evaluation by coaches that provided realistic, reliable information about an athlete's performance came from a coach with whom I had the opportunity to personally validate the information provided by the coach. Once a coach had proven his ability to properly evaluate the athlete's performance, I would accept at face value, his statements. Unfortunately, in the vast majority of situations the evaluation of the coach was skewed by personal feelings, etc. causing the evaluation to be better or worse than the true abilities of the athlete. Therefore, before accepting a coach's evaluation a level of reliability and validity for the evaluation must be achieved, this requires you to be able to determine these things on your own to validate the information provided by the coach.

If the purpose of your investigation is to provide information for training and coaching athletes, subjective information may or may not be reliable and valid. You must have an objective means of measuring your target behavior or outcome, and that requires objective measures of performance. Specific tests of functional aspects of performance will, with an adequate understanding of the relationships of the variables being studied, provide better information about the characteristics under consideration than the best subjective information about the performance of the athlete from all but the best coaches. In my experience, probably less than 10% of coaches, are capable of valid, reliable subjective evaluation of training, coaching, or performance. Therefore, your best information will come from hard, objective measures.

Hola Juan,

Have a look at a completely different way of analyzing  psychological research problems statistically than is done in SEM, developed by James W. Grice, called Observation Oriented Modeling (OOM). I just finished reading an article about it, written by Grice, Barrett, Schlimgen and Abramson, published in 2012 in the Open Access journal Behavioral Sciences, and published on Researchgate recently:

 You may also find Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling a worthwhile alternative for SEM, developed by Asparouhov and Muthén (M+) in 2009:

https://www.statmodel.com/ESEM.shtml 

 For the problems with goodness of fit indices and c2-square in CFA, see my recent publication in the open access journal Comprehensive Psychology, also on Researchgate:

 Good luck,

Peter

Ana:  Thanks!  I will definitely keep your offer in mind!  There appears to be so much overlap in this area and I will inevitably cross paths with athlete QOL in the future.  All the best.  David

Great question in an interesting area. Will be interested to see where you go with your research. May not be directly relevant, but attached is a paper that might be of interest. Another one or two in the same vein should be coming out in the next few months. Good luck!
