An Ego-Involving Motivational Climate Can Trigger Inflammation, a Threat Appraisal, and Basic Psychological Need Frustration in an Achievement Context J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Candace M. Hogue
In this experimental investigation, male college students (N = 56; Mage = 19.95 years) who did not yet know how to juggle were randomly assigned to a 30-min instructional juggling session with either a caring, task-involving climate or an ego-involving climate. An inflammatory response to psychosocial stress was assessed via salivary interleukin-6 prior to (t = 0) and following (t = +30, +45, +60 min)

Player Perceptions of Face Validity and Fidelity in 360-Video and Virtual Reality Cricket J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2023-11-06 Oliver R. Runswick
Virtual reality (VR) and 360° video can provide new opportunities for testing and training in sport. Both options offer different benefits in terms of efficacy for training, ease of use, and cost. This creates questions about the implementation of immersive technologies, and research is required to further understand their use. We aimed to gain initial evidence of athletes’ perceptions of face validity

Comparisons and Conversions: A Methodological Note and Caution for Meta-Analysis in Sport and Exercise Psychology J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2023-09-08 Andrew P. Hill
Meta-analysis is a powerful tool in sport and exercise psychology. However, it has a number of pitfalls, and some lead to ill-advised comparisons and overestimation of effects. The impetus for this research note is provided by a recent systematic review of meta-analyses that examined the correlates of sport performance and has fallen foul of some of the pitfalls. Although the systematic review potentially

Burnout, characterized by exhaustion, reduced accomplishment, and devaluation, can have substantial negative implications for athletes. Notably, researchers continue to examine burnout from multiple perspectives, commonly focusing on stress-, motivation-, or commitment-related factors, with limited efforts to consider these perspectives together. In contrast, this study aimed to assess the utility

Mental Effort in Elite and Nonelite Rowers J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-19 Henrik Herrebrøden, Thomas Espeseth, Laura Bishop
Mental effort (intensity of attention) in elite sports has remained a debated topic and a challenging phenomenon to measure. Thus, a quasi-ecological laboratory study was conducted to investigate mental effort in elite rowers as compared with a group of nonelites. Findings suggest that eye-tracking measures—specifically, blink rates and pupil size—can serve as valid indicators of mental effort in physically

An Examination of the Challenge/Threat State and Sport-Performance Relationship While Controlling for Past Performance J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2023-07-18 Matthew Jewiss, Oliver R. Runswick, Iain Greenlees
A challenge state is associated with superior performance compared to a threat state in a variety of performance domains (e.g., sport, aviation, education). However, in the challenge and threat (C/T) literature, between-subjects variability in past performance is often inconsistently controlled for. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of C/T states on performance using two methods to control

Background: Emerging evidence indicates that the provision or experience of “variety” may be an important determinant of physical activity behavior. Variety refers to diverse endeavors, opportunities, or tasks and, in the context of physical activity, has been examined as a feature of an activity or environment (i.e., variety support) and an experience (i.e., one’s felt experience or perceived variety)

A Methodological Checklist for Studies of Pleasure and Enjoyment Responses to High-Intensity Interval Training: Part II. Intensity, Timing of Assessments, Data Modeling, and Interpretation J. Sport Exerc. Psychol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2023-04-01 Panteleimon Ekkekakis, Mark E. Hartman, Matthew A. Ladwig
Recent studies have concluded that high-intensity interval training should be seen as a “viable alternative” to, and may be more enjoyable than, moderate-intensity continuous exercise. If true, these claims have the potential to revolutionize the science and practice of exercise, establishing high-intensity interval training as not only a physiologically effective exercise modality but also a potentially

For decades, the exercise psychology research literature echoed the conclusion that exercise makes most people feel better, with no clear evidence that this “feel-better effect” is moderated by intensity. An overhaul of the methodological approach subsequently showed that high-intensity exercise is experienced as unpleasant, and the “feel-better effect,” although possible, is conditional and therefore
