Download or read book Psychosocial Health and Well being in High Level Athletes written by Nick Galli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The psychological health of competitive athletes is of paramount importance to performance, retention, and well-being in sport, and national governing bodies are increasingly concerned with its promotion. Psychosocial Health and Well-being in High-Level Athletes offers students, researchers, and practicing sport psychologists an accessible and rigorous grounding in the manifestations of psychosocial health in athletes, the threats athletes face to their psychosocial health, and the interventions which can be designed to enhance it. Seeking to guide future research and expand professional understanding of psychosocial issues in sport, the book is based on a model of cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It clearly defines these dimensions in a sporting context before discussing pertinent threats—such as career transitions, injuries and abuse—and interventions, including adversarial growth, life-skill interventions, prevention and organization policy, and mindfulness-based interventions. Providing an innovative and integrated perspective on psychosocial health and well-being in competitive sport, this book is essential reading for upper-level students taking any clincial sport psychology modules, and for sport psychologists, coaches, and administrators working with competitive athletes.
Download or read book Mental Health and Well being Interventions in Sport written by Gavin Breslin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health within elite sport has traditionally been ignored, but recent research has shown that competitive sport can at times seriously undermine mental health and that athletes are exposed to specific stressors that hinder their mental health optimisation. Mental Health and Well-being Interventions in Sport provides an indispensable guide for researchers and practitioners wanting to understand and implement sport-based intervention processes. This important book adopts an evidenced based approach, discussing the context of the intervention, its design and implementation, and its evaluation and legacy. With cases on depression, eating disorders, and athletic burnout, the book is designed to provide practitioners, policy makers and researchers with a cutting-edge overview of the key issues involved in this burgeoning area, while also including cases on how sport itself has been used as a method to improve mental health. Written for newcomers and established practitioners alike, the text is an essential read for researchers and practitioners in better understanding the sport setting-based intervention processes through presenting current research, theory and practice, applicable in a variety of sports settings and contexts.
Download or read book Towards a psychophysiological approach in physical activity exercise and sports volume II written by Pedro Forte and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is the second volume of the article collection: "Towards a Psychophysiological Approach in Physical Activity, Exercise, and Sports". Please see the first volume here: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/39747/towards-a-psychophysiological-approach-in-physical-activity-exercise-and-sports/magazine. In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in mental health disorders as a result of mediatic coverage of Olympic athletes’ mental health struggles, and also due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. These phenomena helped to further exacerbate a problem already extensively present in sport and society. Therefore, applying a psychophysiological approach to physical activity, exercise, and sports research has become very popular. Indeed, mental fatigue and mental disorders are not only psychological in origin, but also require an explanation from a psychophysiological perspective due to the effective interconnection between the psychological and physiological dimensions. Psychological variables can also influence performance and the psychophysiological system has a strong effect on the control of physical capacities. Moreover, pacing behaviour, decision-making, self-regulation, and effort perception can also explain the role of the brain in physical activity and exercise management. Thus, the aim of this Research Topic is to share the impact of a psychophysiological approach in physical activity, exercise, and sports. The goal of this Topic is to address the following: • Factors determining performance, including technical/tactical, physiological, cognitive, and psychosocial; • training and competition demand; • training interventions and testing in sports; • acute and chronic effects of training in psychophysiological variables; • coaching in sports; • strength and conditioning, mental health, and performance; • recent developments within sports sciences research. This Research Topic endeavors to explore at specific themes related to physiological stress and mental well-being. Additionally, we aim to provide evidence to coaches and sports scientists highlighting the relationship between training and competition demands, related to performance. We also want to analyze the effects of strength and conditioning training, and coaching effects (acute and chronic) on psychological and physiological. Finally, it is our intention to provide scientific literature with evidence for a relationship between movement, behavior and cognition with physiological performance: the psychophysiological approach.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the likelihood of having clinically meaningful depression and anxiety differs between collegiate athletes who perceived sport-related changes as one of their top three stressors in comparison to those who did not perceive sport-related changes as one of their top three stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional analyses included 157 collegiate (79% Female; 13.4% DI) athletes from universities in Connecticut. Participants completed an online study survey. They were asked about their: (1) perceived top three stressors; (2) demographic information; and (3) psychosocial health (i.e. anxiety, depression, perceived stress, perceived social support, and grit). Separate adjusted binomial logistic regression models assessed the relationship between sport related stressor group (primary analysis) and psychosocial predictors (secondary analyses; stress, grit, and social support) with clinically meaningful anxiety and depression. Overall, prevalence of clinically meaningful anxiety (38.8% vs. 34.4%) and depression (62.7% vs. 62.2%) was high in both sport-related and non-sport-related stressor groups, respectively. However, there was no association with sport-related stressor group. Higher perceived stress, low grit, and low social support were all significantly associated with clinically meaningful anxiety and clinically meaningful depression (not grit) (p’s
Download or read book Impact of the Covid 19 Pandemic on Physical Activity Depression and Anxiety Among Graduate Students in the United States written by Young Jin Joo and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billions of people have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic since we initially became aware of its existence in December 2019. Studies have been done since the emergence of the COVID-19 virus to assess its effect on people (e.g., Duan and Zhu, 2020; Rubin and Wesseley, 2020). Specifically, several health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), have reported their concerns about the effects on an individual's mental health (WHO, 2020) as well as one's physical health (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021).While a variety of studies have focused more on undergraduate students (e.g., Bertrand and others, 2021; Gallo, T. F. Gallo, Young, Moritz, and Akison, 2020; Meyer and others, 2020), this study is an investigation of graduate students in the United States. There has been a significant lack of research regarding graduate students (Keating, Jianmin, Pinero, and Bridges, 2005), and more importantly, a lack of research regarding COVID-19's impact on graduate student's mental health in potential relation to physical activity levels. According to previous studies, graduate students are already predisposed for having a high risk of developing mental health issues due to the nature of their educational careers (Evans, Bira, Gastelum, Weiss, and Vanderford, 2018; Fogg, 2009; Hyun, Quinn, Madon, and Lustig, 2006). Master's and doctoral students are reportedly more likely to experience higher levels of depression, anxiety, financial stress, career uncertainty, and higher workloads (Eisenberg, Gollust, Golberstein, and Hefner, 2007; Gewin, 2012; L. Wang, 2015), while also having lower levels of physical activity and exercise participation, which has now become exacerbated by many governments' stringent COVID-19 reduction measures (Barkley and others, 2020; Srivastav, Sharma, and Samual, 2021). Physical activity has been shown for decades to help reduce mental health issues and increase mental well-being (Abu-Omar, Rütten, and Lehtinen, 2004; Camacho, Roberts, Lazarus, Kaplan, and Cohen, 1991; Goodwin, 2003). In this study, the association between physical activity and mental health of graduate students was examined during the pandemic. Information regarding pre-COVID-19 and current COVID-19 levels was attained for comparison. I examined the differences in the levels of physical activity, depression, and anxiety among graduate students in the United States before (February 2020) and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (May 2021). A second purpose of this study was to examine whether differences in physical activity levels before and during COVID-19 are associated with differences in the levels of depression and anxiety among graduate students in the U.S., after controlling several variables, specifically financial stress, alcohol use, sleep quality, and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, and education status). The following analyses were conducted in the current study: (1) paired sample t-test analysis to examine changes in levels of physical activity, depression, and anxiety before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 among graduate students in the U.S.; and (2) multiple linear regression analysis to examine whether changes in physical activity levels influenced changes in level of depression and anxiety. The participants' level of physical activity significantly decreased, and the level of depression and anxiety significantly increased in May 2021 when compared to February 2020. In addition, the mean change in moderate metabolic equivalent of task (MET) was significantly and negatively associated with the mean change in depression, after controlling for variables including financial stress, alcohol consumption, sleep quality, and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, and education status). However, no relationship was observed between the mean change in physical activity and the mean changes in depression and anxiety, except for the negative relationship between the mean change in moderate MET and the mean change in depression. Given that mental health problems can persist for several years if not treated well (Zivin and others, 2009), and that low rates of university students receive treatment after being diagnosed with mental disorders (Eisenberg, Hunt, Speer, and Zivin, 2011), it is crucial for universities to not only provide adequate treatment but also pave the way for improving environments in which students feel comfortable when seeking help. Universities should take steps to develop programs and activities which are geared towards graduate student participation and promote more moderate physical activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental Health in Elite Sport: Applied Perspectives from Across the Globe provides a focused, exhaustive overview of up-to-date mental health research, models, and approaches in elite sport to provide researchers, practitioners, coaches, and students with contemporary knowledge and strategies to address mental health in elite sport across a variety of contexts. Mental Health in Elite Sport is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses globally on mental health service provision structures and cases specific to different world regions and countries. The second part focuses on specific mental health interventions across countries but also illustrates specific case studies and interventions as influenced by the local context and culture. This tour around the world offers readers an understanding of the massive global differences in mental health service provision within different situations and organizations. This is the first book of its kind in which highly experienced scholars and practitioners openly share their programs, methods, reflections, and failures on working with mental health in different contexts. By using a global, multi-contextual analysis to address mental health in elite sport, this book is an essential text for practitioners such as researchers, coaches, athletes, as well as instructors and students across the sport science and mental health fields.
Download or read book Developing and Supporting Athlete Wellbeing written by Natalie Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book in elite athlete wellbeing brings together the narratives of athletes and wellbeing practitioners in high-performance sport with cutting-edge theorizing from world-leading academics to explore pertinent mental wellbeing matters that present for elite athletes both during and after their careers. The journey of the elite athlete is considered from entering the high-performance system as a youth performer through to retirement, with contributions illuminating the ways in which mental wellbeing can be impacted – both negatively and positively – through common place experiences. Methods of creating holistic high-performance sports cultures along with common mental wellbeing influencers, such as parents, education, faith, injury and (de)selection are explored, as well as the ramifications of uncommon events on mental wellbeing, such as whistleblowing, legal disputes, psychological disorders and COVID-19. Drawing on this analysis, the book then proffers thought-provoking strategies for how the mental wellbeing of both athletes and staff can be understood, developed and supported, ultimately driving elite sport cultural transformation to put the person first and the athlete second. Each chapter presents the wellbeing experience from the vantage of the athlete or the wellbeing practitioner, followed by an academic unpacking of the situation. This makes the book a must read for students and researchers working in sport coaching, sport psychology, applied sport science or sport management, as well as practitioners interested in facilitating a duty of care for high performing athletes, and working in coaching, sport science support, athlete development programs, NGB policy and administration or welfare services.
Download or read book Global Mental Health written by Sabine Bährer-Kohler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international survey defines mental health as a basic human right, and tracks the emergence of mental health prevention and promotion as a global priority. Locating mental illness within a cycle of negative causes and effects affecting human quality of life, the editors identify modern policy barriers to promotion/prevention initiatives, particularly the favoring of the biomedical health model by major stakeholders. The book’s selection of successful programs from diverse countries displays a lifespan approach, emphasizing the centrality of interdisciplinary educational settings in providing primary and secondary prevention and promotion interventions, and the ongoing fight against missing financial investigations, discrimination and stigma. Together, these papers make a forceful argument for rights- based responses to worldwide mental health needs as part of the commitment toward global human rights and long-term development goals. Included in the coverage: · Mental health priorities around the world. · Social determinants of mental health. · Mental health and stigma: aspects of anti-stigma interventions. · Promoting social and emotional wellbeing and responding to mental health problems in schools. · The promotion and delivery of mental health services in primary care settings. · Economic evaluation of mental health promotion and mental illness prevention. Bringing to the fore public health concerns that are too often marginalized, Global Mental Health is necessary reading for health professionals, health and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, medical sociologists, and policymakers.

This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covid-19 changed the lives of millions of people around the world. The effects of the global pandemic on the physical and psychological health of individuals, as well as on their behavioral habits, relationships, and the way they communicate, do not seem to be only short- or medium-term, but, on the contrary, appear to be long-lasting. In the same way that it is possible to use the term “long-covid” to refer to the long-term effects on the physical health of individuals who have contracted the virus, so we think it is possible to use the expression 'psychological long-covid' to indicate the long-term effects on the psychological health of individuals, not only of those who have been infected, but more generally of all those who have had to cope with social restrictions, lockdowns, distancing, remote work and learning, etc. imposed by the pandemic. At the same time, many people demonstrated resilience, as the capacity to cope with adverse events through positive adaptation.
