Download or read book Exploring Rehabilitation Adherence and the Motivational Climate Created by Athletic Trainers written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between the athletic trainer created motivational climate and rehabilitation adherence displayed by their athletes. Four certified athletic trainers from one National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I institution participated. The study implemented a convergent mixed methods design, using the Rehabilitation Adherence Measure for Athletic Training as a quantitative measure of adherence and a semi-structured interview to establish the strategies athletic trainers use to organize the rehabilitation process, provide feedback to athletes, and evaluate rehabilitation progress. The semi-structured interview also allowed for other emerging themes during analysis. Results indicated that high-adhering athletes received more task-involving, basic need satisfying (empowering) strategies than low-adhering athletes. Additional exploration of emerging themes (i.e., outside influences, injury specifics, idiosyncrasies of the athlete) also impacted how the motivational climate was created. While the relationship indicates high-adhering athletes may be experiencing empowering motivational climates more so than low-adhering athletes, additional research must be conducted to understand the interaction of the other emergent themes in the creation of motivational climates in the sport injury rehabilitation context.
Download or read book A Qualitative Investigation of Sport Injury Rehabilitation Motivation from the Perspective of the ATC athlete Dyad written by Steven A. Seeberg and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is estimated that over 50,000 sport injuries are sustained by NCAA athletes every year (Dick, Agel, & Marshall, 2007). Many of these injuries require rehabilitation, and proper adherence to a prescribed rehabilitation program has long been known to lead to better rehabilitation outcomes (Brewer, Van Raalte, Cornelius, Petitpas, Sklar, Pohlman, et al., 2000; Derscheid & Feiring, 1987; Heredia, Munoz, & Artaza, 2004). However, the mechanisms by which adherence to a rehabilitation program can be achieved are not yet well-understood, perhaps due to a lack of rich qualitative studies designed to explore the complexities of the rehabilitation process (Ohman, 2005). To begin to alleviate this shortcoming, the purpose of this study is to qualitatively investigate athletes' motivation in the context of sport injury rehabilitation. More specifically, certified athletic trainers (ATCs) and NCAA athletes were observed during rehabilitation sessions and interviewed in a semistructured manner to determine how self-determination theory (SDT) constructs may affect adherence to sport injury rehabilitation programs. Data analysis revealed three influential categories: ATC-athlete relationship, athlete autonomy, and ATC competence. Two themes (trust, autonomy by necessity) were also uncovered and a negative case was identified. Findings coincide with prior research highlighting the importance of trust and the ATC-athlete relationship. Autonomy by necessity represents a novel finding within sport psychology literature. Implications for future research include examining the role of trust with the sport injury rehabilitation context relative to SDT and identifying specific behaviors ATCs can engage in to regulate their athletes' motivation to adhere."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book Exploring the Relationship Between Athletic Injury and Coaching Behavior written by Sarah Anne Halbert and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few research studies have suggested that collegiate coaches may be important people in regard to injured athletes' ability to cope with the emotional stress of injury and to successfully re-enter the sport context. Given the lack of research on coaches' role in the athletic injury process, the current research project was designed to: (a) identify and describe the attitudes and behaviors that coaches exhibit towards injured athletes and to (b) determine if particular types of coaching leadership styles are related to their attitudes and behaviors towards injured athletes. Self-report questionnaires were administered to 416 collegiate athletes to measure their perceptions of the motivational climate their coaches create and their perceptions as to how their coaches behave towards injured athletes on their team. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses revealed a strong link between the team's motivational climate and athletes' perceptions of their coaches' behavior towards injured athletes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hope has long been a topic of interest for psychologists, philosophers, educators, and physicians. In the past few decades, researchers from various disciplines and from around the world have studied how hope relates to superior academic performance, improved outcomes in the workplace, and improved psychological and physical health in individuals of all ages. Edited by Matthew W. Gallagher and the late Shane J. Lopez, The Oxford Handbook of Hope provides readers with a thorough and comprehensive update on the past 25 years of hope research while simultaneously providing an outline of what leading hope researchers believe the future of this line of research to be. In this extraordinary volume, Gallagher, Lopez, and their expert team of contributors discuss such topics as how best to define hope, how hope is distinguished from related philosophical and psychological constructs, what the current best practices are for measuring and quantifying hope, interventions and strategies for promoting hope across a variety of settings, the impact it has on physical and mental health, and the ways in which hope promotes positive functioning. Throughout its pages, these experts review what is currently known about hope and identify the topics and questions that will help guide the next decade of research ahead.

The approach of this book is completely opposite, focusing on questions, controversies, problem analyses and problem solving, besides analyzing the possibility of prevention. Therefore, in each chapter, the biomechanics, anatomy, and other areas that are relevant to the topic are reviewed. There are chapters where highly specialized surgical techniques are presented (acute ACL repair, double bundle reconstruction, chondral lesions treatment or meniscal transplant). These chapters are written by internationally renowned specialists that are pioneers in the topic analyzed. Another interesting aspect of this book are the step by step surgical techniques videos, that will allow a knee specialist to perform the technique presented by the author. Moreover, the videos will include anatomy and physical therapy techniques.

Download or read book Psychology in Sports Coaching written by Adam R. Nicholls and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how athletes learn and make use of the feedback they are given by their coach, or how a coach could make his or her feedback more effective for athletes? Psychology in Sports Coaching has been written specifically for students studying coaching who want to improve their understanding of incorporating psychology into coaching practice. As such, it provides information on how coaches establish the psychological needs of athletes in order for them to provide psychological interventions, such as mental imagery, mental toughness training and coping effectiveness training. This book also provides the reader with information on enhancing the awareness of athletes and the relationships that occur between the coach and the athlete. It explains how coaches can coach children, adolescents, adults and athletes with learning disabilities. These groups of athletes have different learning styles, are motivated by different factors and prefer instructions to be administered differently. So, it is important that coaches tailor their coaching based on the athlete they coach, as this has the potential to enhance the performance and enjoyment of the players that are being coached. Essential reading for all students of sports coaching and sport psychology, and for practising sports coaches, this book will help develop and extend coaching expertise.
