Summary: This study investigated the impact of athletes' emotional self-regulation and received interpersonal emotion regulation from teammates on anxiety and goal achievement during competition. The findings suggest that self-regulation positively affects anxiety, while interpersonal emotion regulation positively affects goal achievement. However, the influence of emotional self-regulation on anxiety and goal achievement weakens the effects of received interpersonal emotion regulation on these outcomes.

Summary: Psychological variables, such as perceived motivational climate, goal orientation, self-determined motivation, and personality, have a significant influence on sports performance, especially in male and female footballers. The study concluded that neuroticism and psychoticism are negatively related to mastery motivational climate, which can help predict self-determined motivation. Contextual variables play a crucial role in predicting goal orientations and self-determined motivation among participant footballers.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the link between youth soccer players' perceptions of the coach-initiated motivational goal climate within their team and their perceptions of inclusion as a function of societal status. Results showed that for players from minority societal status, higher perceptions of mastery goal climate were associated with higher levels of perceived inclusion, while lower perceptions of performance goal climate were also linked to higher levels of perceived inclusion.

Summary: This study analyzed the distribution of external load during training and matches of a professional soccer team, finding that external loads were consistently higher during matches compared to training sessions, with strength and endurance training sessions resulting in higher external loads than speed training sessions. Technical staff should consider the physical demands of weekly periodization to optimize player physical performance.

Summary: Findings in different contexts suggest that task orientation and ego orientation are related to adaptive and maladaptive motivational patterns, respectively. The main purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between athletes' dispositional goal orientations, their goal motives, and their reported well-being and ill-being. The study found that task orientation was positively related to well-being and negatively related to ill-being, while ego orientation showed the opposite pattern. Goal motives played a mediating role in these relationships.

Summary: This study explores the source of the disparity between participants' official finish time and their self-reported finish time in a long-distance running event. It demonstrates how individuals tend to have a biased self-assessment when they achieve their best finish time at the event, and how this bias influences their overall event satisfaction.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively describe the longitudinal changes of training variables in adolescent biathletes based on performance level. It was found that national team biathletes achieved a greater annual training volume and total number of shots fired compared to national level biathletes, but there was no difference in relative training intensity distribution and illness/injury rates between the two groups.

Summary: The study examined the impact of interruption of goal pursuit on emotions and subsequent performance; individuals with performance-goal orientation may experience decreased positive emotions and engage in substitution behaviors, while those with learning-goal orientation do not exhibit such behaviors. The findings highlight the importance of situational influences in educational and occupational settings.

Summary: These three studies examined exercise preferences in real-world and virtual environments and their relationship with social physique anxiety, social comparison, and self-presentational efficacy. The results showed that individuals who preferred exercising at home tended to have lower exercise behavior and more negative fitness-related social comparisons. Those with lower exercise behavior, negative social comparisons, lower self-presentational efficacy, or higher social physique anxiety were more likely to choose virtual reality exercise over real-world exercise. In a virtual reality exercise setting, individuals with higher social physique anxiety and more negative social comparisons preferred embodying a nonhuman and fantasy avatar. The findings suggest that individuals who value self-presentation and have low belief in their competence to project a positive image are more likely to prefer exercise contexts that minimize physique and fitness evaluations. Additionally, virtual reality may offer a less threatening environment for individuals who feel self-conscious or inferior during exercise.

Summary: The study demonstrates that an external focus improves performance and learning of motor skills compared to an internal focus. Through a golf pitch shot experiment, it is found that external focus instructions enhance skill learning, increase positive affect, reduce negative affect, and improve self-efficacy. These findings support assumptions of the OPTIMAL theory and emphasize the attentional and motivational benefits of an external focus.

Summary: This study examined the effects of a personalized consequence-based approach-avoidance training (ABC training) on physical activity (PA). The results showed that although the ABC training did not significantly improve PA, it had positive effects on choices and automatic attitudes, suggesting that this intervention still has potential. Further research with intensive training and device-based measures of PA is needed.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the mechanism by which social support influences mental wellbeing, using cognitive flexibility as a mediator, and analyzing the consistency of this pathway between elite athletes, retired athletes, and non-athletes. The results showed a significant indirect effect from social support to mental wellbeing through cognitive flexibility, but the effectiveness of cognitive flexibility interventions may be less significant for elite athletes compared to other groups.

Summary: The demands of elite sport have the potential to negatively impact athletes' wellbeing. However, not all athletes are affected in the same way. This study used grounded theory methodology to examine the processes of change in high-performance swimmers' wellbeing. The findings illustrate how a dominant performance narrative influences the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity tied to performance. Transitions were identified as critical points where wellbeing is likely to be affected, but proactive coping strategies and appropriate support can help minimize the impact.

Summary: This systematic review examined the relationship between martial arts and combat sports training and the mental health of adult practitioners. The findings suggest inconclusive associations between martial arts and combat sports practice and self-related constructs, limited evidence of significant associations with sub-domains of ill-being and well-being, and consistent evidence of positive association with perceptual and inhibition abilities. However, the evidence on attention, memory, and the negative associations of boxing with changes in brain structure integrity was limited and inconclusive. The multifaceted nature of martial arts and combat sports may produce different outcomes on mental health, and factors such as activity exposure, expertise, level of competitive engagement, sex, and type of practice may moderate these effects. Further research is needed to enhance theoretical and practical approaches in this field.
