Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of individualized professional coaching on psychological burnout, quality of life, and resilience among surgeons. The results showed that after the intervention, the overall burnout rate decreased by 2.5% in the intervention group compared to an increase of 2.5% in the control group. Resilience scores improved by 1.9 points in the intervention group. However, six months later, burnout returned to near baseline levels while resilience continued to improve in the intervention group. The delayed intervention group also experienced improvements in burnout during their coaching experience.

Summary: Exercising outdoors may lead to inhalation of harmful air pollutants, which can negatively impact athletic performance. This study found that increased PM10 and O3 concentrations were associated with decreased distance ran per session, while increases in O3 and NO2 concentrations were related to higher average heart rates. Additionally, higher PM10 concentrations were associated with increased perceived exertion ratings, and inhaling higher levels of O3 and NO2 led to decreased wellness scores the following day.

Summary: This study aims to explore the interpersonal antecedents, transfer mechanisms, and outcomes of psychological well-being (PWB) within coach-athlete-sport psychology practitioner (SPP) triads. The study found that situational properties of stressors, factors relating to the organization, shared values and characteristics, and interpersonal resilience were antecedents of PWB. PWB was transferred through interpersonal coping, emotional contagion, and social appraising. The study also identified psychological safety, meaningful experiences of growth and development, and relational dynamics as both outcomes and antecedents of PWB. These findings have implications for research and practice.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the predictive effects of John Henryism, fear of failure, and the interaction between the two on an athlete's competitive standard and mental well-being. Results showed that John Henryism predicted an athlete's competitive standard, while fear of failure differentiated between national and international level athletes. Additionally, both John Henryism and fear of failure predicted mental well-being, but their interaction did not. Therefore, future research could explore the impact of interventions targeting fear of failure and active coping on the well-being of athletes competing nationally or internationally.
