AbstractMost academics agree that emotions and moods are related but distinct phenomena. The present study assessed emotion-mood distinctions among a non-academic population compared these views with proposed in the literature. Content analysis of responses from 106 participants identified 16 themes, cause (65% respondents), duration (40%), control (25%), experience (15%), consequences (14%) most frequently cited distinctions. Among 65 contributions to academic literature, eight themes were...
Abstract The present study comprised two meta-analyses of published studies that used the Profile Mood States (POMS) to investigate relationships between mood and athletic achievement (n = 13) performance outcome 16). Results showed effect sizes (ESs) for level metaanalysis were minimal (Weighted Mean ES .10, SD .07), a finding consistent with previous meta-analysis by Rowley, Landers, Kyllo, Etnier (1995). Larger effects found .31, .12). Effects moderate vigor, confusion, depression, small...
The strength model suggests that self-control relies on a limited resource. One candidate for this resource is glucose. Counter to the proposals of glucose hypothesis, study argues issue one allocation, not supply. It addresses argument from three perspectives: evolution mental processes at species level, adaptation these same individual and physiology transport. argued here brain has both sufficient resources delivery mechanisms with which support but are allocated in accordance personal...
The placebo effect-a change attributable only to an individual's belief in the efficacy of a treatment-might provide worthwhile improvement physical performance. Although sports scientists account for effects by blinding subjects treatments, little research has sought quantify and explain effect itself. present study explored laboratory cycling performance using quantitative qualitative methods.Six well-trained male cyclists undertook two baseline three experimental 10-km time trials....
Emotions experienced before and during sports competition have been found to influence performance. Emotion regulation is defined as the automatic or deliberate use of strategies initiate, maintain, modify display emotions (Gross & Thompson, 2007) proposed occur when a discrepancy exists between current desired emotions. Two distinct motivations regulate emotion - hedonic instrumental (in short, for pleasure purpose) (Tamir, 2009). The approach might provide more fruitful area investigation...
This study examined relationships between beliefs about emotions (meta‐emotion beliefs), emotion regulation strategies, and pre‐competition emotional states using an instrumental model of regulation. Three hundred sixty runners reported meta‐beliefs the influence anxiety and/or anger on performance, completed a short scale, their use strategies. Results indicated that 55 (15%) meta‐emotion strategies aimed at increasing would help performance while 305 (85%) intended to reduce same before...
It is well known that physical activity and exercise associated with a lower risk of range morbidities all-cause mortality. Further, it appears reductions are greater when and/or performed at higher intensity effort. Why this may be the case perhaps explained by accumulating evidence linking fitness performance outcomes (e.g. cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, muscle mass) also to morbidity mortality risk. Current guidelines about moderate/vigorous using aerobic modes focuses upon...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Clinical and laboratory studies demonstrate that placebo nocebo effects influence various symptoms conditions after the administration of both inert active treatments. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> There is an increasing need for up-to-date recommendations on how to inform patients about in clinical practice train clinicians disclose this information. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Based previous...
Research into emotion regulation in sport has predominantly focused on intrapersonal of response systems (i.e. subjective experience, cognitions, behaviours or physiological responses). However, researchers social psychology have suggested that the process is inherently and interpersonal. This shift represents a significant change how conceptualized and, given intensity emotions experienced sport, potentially productive line enquiry. review addresses interpersonal draws attention to work...
In June 2017 a group of experts in anthropology, biology, kinesiology, neuroscience, physiology, and psychology convened Canterbury, UK, to address questions relating the placebo effect sport exercise. The event was supported exclusively by Quality Related (QR) funding from Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). funder did not influence content or conclusions group. No competing interests were declared any delegate. During meeting follow-up correspondence, all delegates agreed...
The article describes a study examining placebo effects associated with the administration of hypothetical ergogenic aid in sport. Forty-two team-sport athletes were randomly assigned to 2 groups. All subjects completed 3 x 30-m baseline sprint trials after which they administered what was described them as an but fact 200 mg cornstarch gelatin capsule. Group 1 provided positive information about likely on performance substance, whereas negative same substance. protocol repeated 20 min...
The ergogenic effects of caffeine are well documented. Research has yet to examine any psychological contribution this effect. Aim: To explore the and pharmacological in laboratory cycling performance. Method: Fourteen male competitive cyclists performed 14 40-km time trials (eight experimental interspersed with six baseline). phase consisted two for each four conditions: informed caffeine/received caffeine, no treatment/received placebo, treatment. Conditions were nonrandomized. ANOVA was...
Purpose We investigated associations between athletes’ use of sport supplements and their responsiveness to placebo nocebo interventions. Methods Participants (n = 627) reported intention use, actual of, supplements. They then completed a 5 × 20 m repeat sprint protocol in the baseline condition, before being randomized one three treatments. positive-belief treatment were administered an inert capsule described as potent supplement which would improve performance. negative-belief negatively...
An online survey was used to explore emotion regulation strategies by runners (N = 506, mean age 37.69 years, SD 8.84 years) in the hour prior training or competition. Content analysis of responses identified 28 categories strategy, with most popular being goal setting (23%), distraction (12%), recall past performance accomplishments and anticipated pleasant emotions after running (10%). Participants reported greater use cognitive than behavioural ones, suggesting that management are closely...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the level agreement between laboratory-based estimates critical power (CP) and results taken from a novel field test. Subjects were fourteen trained cyclists (age 40±7 yrs; body mass 70.2±6.5 kg; V̇O<sub>2max</sub> 3.8±0.5 L · min<sup>−1</sup>). Laboratory-based CP estimated 3 constant work-rate tests at 80%, 100% 105% maximal aerobic (MAP). Field-based all-out performed on an outdoor velodrome over fixed durations 3, 7 12 min. Using linear work...
