8. Temporal Changes in Depression Symptoms in Male and Female Collegiate Student-Athletes.

Subjects
MENTAL depression, THERAPEUTICS, MENTAL health of college students, PATHOLOGICAL psychology, POST-traumatic stress disorder
Abstract

Depression rates in collegiate student-athletes in the literature are varied and inconclusive, and data have only explored depression symptoms utilizing a crosssectional design. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the temporal course of depression symptoms in student-athletes. Student-athletes (N = 93) from a Division II institution completed six administrations of a brief depression symptom screen once every 2 weeks throughout the fall athletic season. Ten (10.8%) student-athletes' PHQ-9 surveys were red-flagged for moderate to severe depression symptoms at least once throughout the season. A mixed between-within subjects analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant interaction effect for time and sex in depression symptom scores, F(3.69, 335.70) = 10.36, p ≤ .001. The repeated-measures design of this study suggests that there are clinical benefits for screening for depression symptoms in student-athletes at multiple intervals throughout an athletic season.

Abstract

Ultramarathon running entails coping with unanticipated environmental circumstances and intense physical and psychological fatigue; a sport in which the role of mental toughness can be crucial. This research locused on semistructured interviews with 12 ultramarathon runners who volunteered to discuss their perceptions of mental toughness. The data allowed researchers to gather a multidimensional view of mental toughness from ultramarathon runners experiences and perspective in addition to providing a snapshot of the challenges and demands ultrarunners face, as well as ethical concerns associated with athletes pushing themselves beyond their limits. Central themes included: perseverance/persistence, overcoming adversity, perspective, life experience, psychological skills use, and camaraderie in the ultra community. A deeper understanding of mental toughness obtained from a sample of ultramarathon runners can inform consultants working to improve quality or consistency of performance, and become aware of ethical concerns of encouraging athletes to exceed perceptual or actual limitations.

17. Examining Exercise Addiction: A Depth Interview Approach.

Author

Sachs, Michael L. and Pargman, David

Abstract

Exercise addiction may be defined as psychological and/or physiological dependence upon a regular regimen of physical activity. Additionally, exercise addiction is characterized by recognizable withdrawal symptoms when the need to exercise remains unfulfilled after 24 to 36 hours. These withdrawal symptoms may encompass both psychological and physiological factors. The depth interview approach was used because of the flexibility of the technique in permitting close examination of the interviewee's responses to a broad range of questions, including the reasons for running, roles as a runner, the importance of running, specifics on extent and frequency of participation, motivational considerations, and exercise addiction. Most participants interviewed ran for reasons of general health, staying in shape, keeping body weight down, and relaxation. Those addicted to running viewed the running role as important and as a significant part of their lives. Participants saw themselves as motivated to continue running because of their addiction to running and their acceptance of the fact that running is one of the most efficient ways to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Participants discussed the withdrawal symptoms experienced when running was not possible. (Author/MJB)

18. Commitment and Dependence Upon Regular Running.

Author

Sachs, Michael L. and Pargman, David

Abstract

The linear relationship between intellectual commitment to running and psychobiological dependence upon running is examined. A sample of 540 regular runners (running frequency greater than three days per week for the past year for the majority) was surveyed with a questionnaire. Measures of commitment and dependence on running, as well as demographic information, were obtained. Dependence scores were found to be normally distributed, although scores tended toward the more dependent end of the continuum. (JD)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 6-wk intervention that used guided relaxation and exercise imagery (GREI) to increase self-reported leisure-time exercise behavior among older adults. A total of 93 community- dwelling healthy older adults (age 70.38 ± 8.15 yr, 66 female) were randomly placed in either a placebo control group or an intervention group. The intervention group received instructions to listen to an audio compact disk (CD) containing a GREI program, and the placebo control group received an audio CD that contained 2 relaxation tracks and instructions to listen to music of their choice for 6 wk. Results revealed that listening to a GREI CD for 6 wk significantly increased self- reported leisure-time exercise behaviors (p = .03). Further exploration of GREI and its effects on other psychological variables related to perceived exercise behaviors may substantiate its effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

One group of athletes only recently receiving attention from sport psychologists is those who are deaf. Although these athletes have a communication disability, they participate in sport at all levels, from recreational sport participant to Olympic competitor. This paper reviews the literature on sport psychology and athletes who are deaf. Issues related to assessment of psychological skills with athletes who are deaf are explored through a study with 26 National Deaf Volleyball Tournament players, using the Psychological Skills Inventory for Sport. Finally, suggestions are offered for sport psychologists considering working with athletes who are deaf. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

One of the largest groups of persons with disabilities is that of persons with mental retardation. More than 1,000,000 athletes with mental retardation, for example, participate in Special Olympics each year. Sport psychology can help with performance enhancement as well as enhancing the quality of the sport experience for persons with mental retardation. Additionally, participation in exercise and sport can result in increased benefits such as enhanced self-esteem, self-reliance, and willingness to take risks. The literature in this area is reviewed, and extensive suggestions on working with athletes with mental retardation are offered. Due to the cognitive limitations that are one characteristic of persons with mental retardation, the sport psychologist faces particular challenges in providing sport psychology services for this population. A case study is provided to illustrate some of the challenges and rewards in working with athletes with mental retardation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

48. The Effects of Collegiate Head Coaches' Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Alcohol Consumption by Student-Athletes.

Abstract

A host of studies have documented the consumption of alcohol, to a degree that is dangerous to health and well-being, among college students (Brenner, Metz, & Brenner, 2009; Harris et al., 2010; Leichleiter et al., 1998; Martens, O'Connor, & Paiement, 2006). Other studies indicate college athletes indulge in a higher level of alcohol consumption than their non-athletic peers (NCAA, 2006; Williams, Jr. et al., 2008). There is a continuing culture of excessive consumption of alcohol among college athletes. When reading headlines about a collegiate athlete who dies because of misusing alcohol, one might ask how the issue continues to be such a problem, and what people can do about it. Data from this study indicate that part of this issue may be due to lack of self-efficacy on the part of collegiate head coaches to address and intervene on behalf of athletes who misuse alcohol. This article presents data that quantify the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of collegiate head coaches with regard to the alcohol consumption of their athletes. Additional data from this study indicate that head coaches do not feel confident in their ability to identify the signs and symptoms of athletes who drink and indicate that they are not efficacious in their ability to help, or if they know how to help.

49. Flow in Sport, Exercise, and Performance: A Review with Implications for Future Research.

Abstract

The broad definition of flow is a person's sense of joy, creativity and an experience of total involvement in life. Such an experience fosters the development of a conscious state where optimal human functioning flourishes (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Qualitative and quantitative research on the topic has led to a definition of flow that includes nine sub-experiences that constitute the conscious state of flow. While based on the nine components of flow, often flow reflects a diverse experience based on the person's level of ability (expert vs. amateur), activity, and cultural background. Research within the area of flow and its applications is still young. Several areas within flow research need further exploration. This systematic review provides an in depth discussion of the theoretical foundations of flow, current research, and recommendations for expanding flow theory and research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
