Ojala, A.-L., Thorpe, H. “…In this Insights paper we consider coaching in action sports via the case of Finnish professional snowboarders` attitudes to coaches. Drawing upon conversations with elite freestyle snowboarders we briefly present insights into their perceptions of the various positions of coaches in professional snowboarding before we offer suggestions built upon a Problem-based learning approach for coaches interested in working with action sport athletes.…”

Wu, T., Fu, P. “…Specifically, the "S"-shaped kinetic chain transmission sequence in rise-and-fall techniques optimizes energy transfer efficiency, the dynamic balance control mechanism in weight transfer enhances dancers` stability, the conservation of angular momentum in contra body movement provides a mechanical foundation for rotational actions, the regulation of muscular torque in inclination techniques maintains dynamic equilibrium, the conversion between potential and kinetic energy in swing techniques enhances dance fluidity and artistic expressiveness, and the transfer of angular momentum in rotation techniques offers mechanical support for the execution of complex rotational movements. …”

Berki, T., Daka, Z., Molnár, A.H. “…Additionally, we found that maladaptive perfectionism is associated with higher levels of constrained commitment and EA, while correlating with lower levels of enthusiastic commitment. Conversely, adaptive perfectionism increases enthusiastic commitment and decreases constrained commitment. …”

Zhou, Y., Yang, L. “…Jump volume significantly correlated with improvements in IMTP (r = 0.478, p = 0.002) and CMJ (r = 0.785, p < 0.001), indicating its large association with strength improvement. Conversely, RPE (r = 0.775, p < 0.001) and TRIMP (r = 0.872, p < 0.001) were largely correlated with enhanced aerobic fitness. …”

Kemler, B. R., Willier, D. P., D`Amore, T., Cohen, S. B., Dodson, C. C., Ciccotti, M. G. “…Background Injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) are commonly reported in traditional overhead sports. Conversely, there is a lack of evidence outlining management and return to play (RTP) outcomes for gymnasts. …”

Passacantando, E., Marinelli, S., La Greca, S., Farina, F., Cariati, I., Cifelli, P., Di Giminiani, R. “…When athletes stepped off the box with their preferred limb, the concentric force generation (the third peak of vGRF) was significantly higher in the preferred than the non-preferred limb (p < 0.05). Conversely, when athletes stepped off with the non-preferred limb, the force absorption during the breaking phase (the second peak of vGRF) was higher in the non-preferred limb than in the preferred limb (p < 0.01). …”

Kipchumba, K. K., Rintaugu, E., Mwangi, F., Gathoni, B. “…The study found significant inverse relationships between mastery climate and doping attitudes (rho = -.242; p <.001), as well as between task orientation and doping attitudes (rho = -.158; p <.004). Conversely, performance climate (rho =.362; p <.001) and ego orientation (rho =.362; p <.001) showed significant positive relationships with doping attitudes. …”

Conversely, unpleasant emotional experiences were consistently associated with goal-withdrawal strategies (or no regulation), which generally led to a lack of AF and lower performance. …”

Piepiora, P. A., Jurczyk, J. B., Vveinhardt, J. “…In maintaining attention, effective attention management, attention styles, the ability to filter out distractions, mantras and affirmations are significant. Conversely, practicing tasks that induce a Stroop effect can improve executive function skills. …”

Willson, E., Buono, S., Kerr, G., Stirling, A. “…High athlete satisfaction buffered against the negative effects of psychological abuse on self-harming indicators in non-aesthetic and weight based sport and non-team sport athletes. Conversely, the interaction between athlete satisfaction and psychological abuse was marginally significant in predicting increased negative effects on eating disorders in aesthetic and weight based sport athletes. …”

Robak, N., Zacharias, E., Tailor, G., Malone, Q., Broeckelmann, E., Mohammadalinezhad Kolahdouz, S., Passmore, S. “…In contrast with actual performance, athletes favoured an internal focus due to the perceived importance placed on "touch". Conversely, athletes preferred an external focus for out-turn takeouts which increased hitting rate over an internal focus, and was favoured for the increased sensation of "line maintenance" which aligned with performance. …”

Abade, E., Figueira, B., Coutinho, D., Folgado, H., Moreira, C., Gonçalves, B. “…In conclusion, coaches may consider incorporating the 3x3POINT-POSS to enhance players` external load while simultaneously increasing enjoyment and decreasing perceived exertion. Conversely, the 3x3PASSES condition may be useful for promoting adaptive behaviors under a higher perception of effort. …”

Flannery, L., Compton, H. R., Dascombe, B. J., West, M. A., Secomb, J. L. “…Significant relationships were identified between a decrease in sRPE, with associated increases in absolute and relative overall volume load (T1,725.5 = -2.1, p = 0.04; T1,133.5 = -2.2, p = 0.03), and relative dynamic (T1,24.1 = -8.4, p < 0.01) and lower-body plyometric efforts (T1,16.8 = -17.2, p < 0.01). Conversely, significant relationships were observed between an increase in sRPE, with associated increases in relative lower-body (T1,20.3 = 12.9, p < 0.01) and upper-body repeated efforts (T1,28.5 = 9.7, p = 0.03) as well as relative upper-body plyometric (T1,71.1 = 2.9, p = 0.01) and maximal efforts (T1,75.3 = 3.4, p < 0.01). …”

Villaseca-Vicuña, R., Morales-Acuña, F., Rojas-Trelles, L., Segueida-Lorca, Á., Flores Ferro, E., Hermosilla-Palma, F., Valenzuela, L., Cortés-Roco, G., Merino-Muñoz, P. “…Based on the results, it can be inferred that the MC phases had a discernible impact only on T10 in this sample, where participants exhibited superior performance in LPh, albeit with trivial to small effects that may lack clinical significance. Conversely, subjective measures obtained from the WQ and RPE scale indicated unclear differences between phases…”

Matomäki, P., Nuuttila, O.-P., Heinonen, O. J., Kyröläinen, H., Nummela, A. “…This review aims to compare HI and LI doses by estimating theoretically the conversion ratio, 1:x, between HI and LI: How many minutes, x, of LI are equivalent to 1 minute of HI using various quantification methods? …”

Chikha, H. B., Mguidich, H., Zoudji, B., Khacharem, A. “…Additionally, they exhibited improved recall and experienced reduced mental effort, despite having the same fixation time on the diagrams and equivalent recall time. Conversely, experts benefited more from instructional speech followed by gestures, indicating an expertise reversal effect. …”

Williamson, O., Bird, M. D., Bennett, K. J. M., Jackman, P. C., Swann, C. “…Athletes reported that all types of nonspecific goals could enhance objective performance, enjoyment, satisfaction, engagement, and optimise feelings of challenge, while reducing perceptions of pressure. Conversely, athletes believed that all nonspecific goals could elicit maladaptive motivational responses and lack structure, which could result in difficulty with tracking progress. …”
