Effects of task difficulty on performance and event-related bradycardia during preparation for action
In conclusion, heart rate deceleration in the moments preceding movement onset was affected by task difficulty. Features of this cardiac deceleration pattern were characteristic of successful performance. Our findings are discussed in terms of the role of cognitive and motor processes during the execution of complex motor skills.PMID:37813271 | DOI:10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102548 (Source: Psychology of Sport and Exercise)

Investigating the day-level associations between affective variability and physical activity using ecological momentary assessment
CONCLUSIONS: Individuals were less active on days with greater variability in feeling sad and fatigued but more active on days with greater variability in feeling happy and energetic. Understanding the dynamic relationships of affective variability with day-level physical activity can strengthen physical activity interventions by considering how these processes differ within individuals and unfold within the context of daily life. Future research should examine causal pathways between affective variability and physical activity across the day.PMID:37805039 | DOI:10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102542 (Source: Psychology of Sport and Exercise)

Negative self-talk in runners: Emotional intelligence and perceived stress as explanatory factors
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2023 Sep 29:102545. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102545. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo optimize in the cognitive and emotional processes that appear in stressful situations in sports contexts is a relevant aspect to achieve a high level of performance. The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between perceived stress, emotional intelligence and negative self-talk in runners. It also aimed to determine whether emotional intelligence factors could play a protective role in this relationship. The sample consisted of 1071 runners from a race held in the Basque Country (Spain). The age of th...

Testing the moderative role of automatic-reflective affect divergence in predicting physical activity
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2023 Sep 29:102538. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102538. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDual process theories postulate that behaviour is the product of two distinct cognitive systems, the automatic and reflective, and that congruence/divergence between the two types of cognitions can influence the predictive strength of either system on behaviour. However, the congruence/divergence hypothesis is yet to experience strong empirical support. The aim of this study was to test a novel dual process model to determine the moderating effect of affect divergence on the relationship between affective associati...

"What we talk about is creating a probability": Exploring the interaction between the anticipation and decision-making processes of professional bowlers and batters in Twenty20 cricket
Psychol Sport Exerc. 2023 Sep 29;70:102543. doi: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102543. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExpert performers in time constrained sports use a range of information sources to facilitate anticipatory and decision-making processes. However, research has often focused on responders such as batters, goalkeepers, defenders, and returners of serve, and failed to capture the complex interaction between opponents, where responders can also manipulate probabilities in their favour. This investigation aimed to explore the interaction between top order batters and fast or medium paced bowlers in cricket and the i...
