Getting to the heart of the matter: an ethnography of emotions and emotion regulation in cardiac rehabilitation
No full textConsidering the detrimental impact of emotional suffering on patient recovery (e.g. increased mortality rates), a key component in rehabilitation settings should be the promotion of psychosocial health. Research has shown cardiac rehabilitation (CR) to decrease anxiety and depression, enhance emotional well-being and reduce the deleterious effects of negative emotions on prognosis. Nevertheless, limited attention has been given to heart disease as a lived experience and the presence of the patient’s voice in CR is negligible. Using an ethnographic approach, the aim of the current research was to provide a penetrative insight into the social and psychological environment of a CR setting in the United Kingdom. Three main methods were used to collect data over a 12-month period, including participant observation (225 h), informal and formal interviews, and a reflexive diary. Thematic analysis was used to generate patterns (themes) in the data. Following thematic development, ethnographic creative non-fiction was adopted to fashion non-fictional stories grounded in real events and patients’ lived experiences. Three composite narratives illustrated the emotional intensity of recovering from a cardiac event and highlighted the value of CR to aid patients with reskilling and emotional support. In discussing our data, we emphasise the potential value of emotional intelligent care provision, and the creation of an environment that encourages emotional disclosure. We conclude with a discussion of the value of narrative medicine as a pedagogical tool for CR staff and patients
A review of behavioural measures and research methodology in sport and exercise psychology
No full textThis study examined the development of methodologies and measures used in sport and exercise psychology (SEP) publications between 1979 and 2013. A systematic coding process was conducted on a total of 1377 manuscripts sampled from four long-standing SEP publications, namely Journal of Applied Sports Psychology, Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, Psychology of Sport and Exercise, and The Sport Psychologist. Analyses compared the type of behavioural or non-behavioural measures used, and the research design employed. Findings suggested that overall SEP has included more behavioural measures in comparison to other psychology domains, and there has been substantial sampling of sport and exercise behaviours using direct rather than indirect behavioural measures. Nevertheless, proportions of dependent behavioural measures in SEP were significantly less than non-behavioural measures. Questionnaires have remained a dominant non-behavioural measure over time, and higher proportions of SEP studies were conducted within a semi-natural social setting. Findings are discussed in line with SEP practice, and the potential implications for future works

Statistical modelling of gaze behaviour as categorical time series: what you should watch to save soccer penalties
No full textPrevious research on gaze behaviour in sport has typically reported summary fixation statistics thereby largely ignoring the temporal sequencing of gaze. In the present study on penalty kicking in soccer, our aim was to apply a Markov chain modelling method to eye movement data obtained from goalkeepers. Building on the discrete analysis of gaze employed by Dicks et al. (Atten Percept Psychophys 72(3):706-720, 2010b), we wanted to statistically model the relative probabilities of the goalkeeper's gaze being directed to different locations throughout the penalty taker's approach (Dicks et al. in Atten Percept Psychophys 72(3):706-720, 2010b). Examination of gaze behaviours under in situ and video-simulation task constraints reveals differences in information pickup for perception and action (Attention, Perception and Psychophysics 72(3), 706-720). The probabilities of fixating anatomical locations of the penalty taker were high under simulated movement response conditions. In contrast, when actually required to intercept kicks, the goalkeepers initially favoured watching the penalty taker's head but then rapidly shifted focus directly to the ball for approximately the final second prior to foot-ball contact. The increased spatio-temporal demands of in situ interceptive actions over laboratory-based simulated actions lead to different visual search strategies being used. When eye movement data are modelled as time series, it is possible to discern subtle but important behavioural characteristics that are less apparent with discrete summary statistics alone

Availability of advance visual information constrains association-football goalkeeping performance during penalty kicks
No full textA pressing concern within the literature on anticipatory perceptual-motor behaviour is the lack of clarity on the applicability of data, observed under video-simulation task constraints, to actual performance in which actions are coupled to perception, as captured during in-situ experimental conditions. We developed an in-situ experimental paradigm which manipulated the duration of anticipatory visual information from a penalty taker's actions to examine experienced goalkeepers' vulnerability to deception for the penalty kick in association football. Irrespective of the penalty taker's kick strategy, goalkeepers initiated movement responses earlier across consecutively earlier presentation points. Overall goalkeeping performance was better in non-deception trials than in deception conditions. In deception trials, the kinematic information presented up until the penalty taker initiated his/her kicking action had a negative effect on goalkeepers' performance. It is concluded that goalkeepers are likely to benefit from not anticipating a penalty taker's performance outcome based on information from the run-up, in preference to later information that emerges just before the initiation of the penalty taker's kicking action

We recruited and tested 12 male expert tennis players in hard courts. A comprehensive analysis of the timing (eleven temporal variables analysed at 300 Hz) and performance success of the return actions were carried out, while simultaneously considering task constraints such as the accuracy and the speed of the serves. Temporal organisation of return actions were scaled relative to the server’s racket-ball contact (5 ms), an adaptation of fly-time of the split-step, which resulted in consistent landings (133 ms), and initiation of lateral movements towards the ball–with no response errors–after the server’s stroke (around 177 ms). Poorer returns occurred when responding to accurate serves accompanied by late trunk movements towards the ball. Returners scaled the timing of the response to the unfolding action of the serve in order to support both spatial and temporal accuracy. These novel findings highlight the significance of the study of fast-ball sports in representative settings and offer further detail on the spatiotemporal control of skilful perception-action.ITF Development DepartmentMadrid Tennis Federation and Catalan Tennis Federation (Spain)Spanish Tennis FederationInnovation and Technology Fund Hong Kong SAR (China)Depto. de Didáctica de las Lenguas, Artes y Educación FísicaFac. de EducaciónTRUEpu
