Objectives: To examine quantity of exercise and motives for exercise as predictors of men in the military's health and fitness level. Design: Participants completed a survey to address research questions of interest. Methods: One-hundred and fourteen men who were active duty Air Force members, with a mean age of 31.43 years (SD = 7.43) and an average military time in service of 10.66 years (SD = 7.75), completed a modified version of the Reasons for Exercise Inventory, a survey assessing their quantity of exercise, and reported their most recent score on their Air Force Fitness Test. Results: Correlational analyses indicated a relation between quantity of exercise and men's score on the Air Force Fitness Test and a relation between intrinsic motives for exercise and quantity of exercise. Intrinsic motivation was found to moderate the relation between quantity of exercise and men's health and fitness score. Conclusions: Men in the military who exercise because of their military obligation are less likely to score high on the Air Force Fitness Test than are men who are motivated to exercise for health benefits.

A psychosocial investigation of exercise preferences in real and virtual environments

Robyn L. Moffitt

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.

Golf skill learning: An external focus of attention enhances performance and motivation

Jongseong An, Gabriele Wulf

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.

Improving physical activity using a single personalized consequence-based approach-avoidance training: Effects on self-reported behaviors, attitudes, and choices

Silvio Maltagliati, Philippe Sarrazin, Dominique Muller, Layan Fessler, Thibaud Ferry, Reinout W. Wiers, Boris Cheval

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.

A moderated mediation analysis on the influence of social support and cognitive flexibility in predicting mental wellbeing in elite sport

R. M. Davies, M. A. Knoll, M. N. Kyranides

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.

Wellbeing in high-performance swimming: A grounded theory study

Katie S. Uzzell, Camilla. J. Knight, Kurtis Pankow, Denise M. Hill

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.

Martial arts, combat sports, and mental health in adults: A systematic review

Simone Ciaccioni, Oscar Castro, Fatimah Bahrami, Phillip D. Tomporowski, Laura Capranica, Stuart J. H. Biddle, Ineke Vergeer, Caterina Pesce

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.
