Therefore, we hypothesized that subjectively perceived positive affect would rise immediately after co-active but not interactive exercise training. We used the Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory (EFI) to test positive engagement, revitalization, tranquility, and physical exhaustion pre- and post-training in 107, primarily male, university students practicing either co-active (aerobic exercise, martial arts, swimming; N =54) or interactive (basketball, soccer, football; N=53) sports. We also assessed their enthusiasm before training and perceived exertion after training. Training-induced affective changes in the dependent measures were expressed as percentage change scores and subjected to multivariate covariance analyses. The results did not support our hypothesis that co-active exercisers experience more positive affective states due to training than interactive exercisers. However, co-active exercisers reported more enthusiasm before training and greater physical exhaustion after the training than interactive exercisers. There was also a statistically non-significant trend in the ratios of the reasons for exercise participation, with more than two-thirds of co-active exercisers training for health reasons compared to less than half of interactive exercisers who participated more for mastery and enjoyment reasons. These results suggest that affective states following a single exercise bout do not differ between co-active and interactive exercisers. However, enthusiasm differences between these forms of sports could be related to self-centered, attentional-focused training, health-related motivation, and more exhaustive training.

However, there is no research on children. Coaches' messages to them could have positive, performance‐improving (placebo) or negative, performance‐impairing (nocebo) effects. This experiment examined the former by ascribing fictive performance‐enhancing properties to an ingredient of the Tic Tac mint to 12 children (aged 12.67 ± SD = 1.83 years), all elite kayakers. Another kayaker was an actor who helped enhance the credibility of the information. The children completed 2‐min kayak ergometer sprints in counterbalanced control and placebo conditions. The measures included heart rate (HR), feeling state, perceived arousal, and expected‐ and perceived‐ performances. Pre‐sprint and maximal HR during the sprint and distance completed in 2 minutes were statistically significantly higher ( p < 0.005) in the placebo than in the control condition without being affected by order effects. While the expected performance in the placebo session was higher ( p = 0.008), perceived performances did not differ statistically between the conditions. This study reveals a sport performance‐related objective, but not subjective, placebo effect in children after a short kayak sprint. The findings have practical implications for performance‐related messages children receive from their coaches and others and show how their altered beliefs can influence their performance.

This field research aimed to investigate feeling states, perceived arousal, anxiety, and negative and positive affect in the anticipatory and recovery race periods and their relationship to expected and perceived performance. Twenty Motocross racers completed psychometric scales before and after a national championship race. Results revealed that objective performance was unrelated to psychological measures. Arousal, anxiety, and positive affect were lower after the race. Expected performance was unrelated to postrace measures. Still, perceived performance correlated significantly with the feeling state, anxiety, and positive affect after the race and the feeling state before the race. Furthermore, racers who performed as expected or better showed improved feeling states after the race compared with those who did worse than expected. The core affect of the latter group declined. This research on psychological states during Motocross races could motivate new initiatives for future studies.

This work aimed to determine the strength of the relationship between exercise addiction, obsessive passion, and harmonious passion in team versus individual sports. Athletes (n=190) from three teams and three individual sports were examined. Results of hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that obsessive passion and harmonious passion were significant (p<.001) predictors (r 2 =.39) of exercise addiction. Obsessive passion accounted for 21% and 47% of the variance in team and individual sports, respectively. Harmonious passion added little to the shared variances (4% and 3%). The levels of risk for exercise addiction were identical (15%) in the two groups. Harmonious passion was higher in the team than in individual sports (p < .001). The current results suggest that passion profiles in team sports are superior to those in individual sports, while the questionnaire-based risk of exercise addiction is similar.

This pilot study tested religiousness/spirituality in adults ( N = 77; 21% men; M age = 39.45, SD = 11.97 years) who answered demographic questions and completed the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality. Respondents who reported a major life-changing spiritual experience (72.7%) were compared to those who did not (27.3%). The former scored higher ( p < .05) on all measures and had a higher proportion of religious ( p = .04) and spiritual ( p < .001) identity. At the same time, no differences in age, gender, education, or urban vs. rural location emerged. Among those who had experienced a significant life change, 42.9% had such experiences when they were 18 years or younger. Most (83.4%) were committed spiritually and attended religious services once or more weekly. The age at which the life-changing experience occurred correlated strongly ( r = .70) with the strengthening of religious/spiritual practices. The results suggest that life-changing spiritual experiences fuel religious/spiritual attitudes and behaviors and that their impact may be more profound if experienced at a younger age.

Physical activity is positively associated with resilience. Therefore, this systematic literature review aimed to uncover the relationships between physical activity and resilience in older adults. We have analyzed three freely and openly available databases: (a) PubMed/Medline, (b) ScienceDirect, and (c) Google Scholar, which yielded 20 eligible articles based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most studies (14) were cross-sectional, three were longitudinal, and three others used mindfulness-based or endurance-enhancing physical activity interventions. Their results revealed increased resilience even after short-duration and low-frequency interventions. Cross-sectional research results also support the positive relationship between physical activity and resilience in older adults, suggesting that the relationship might depend on exercise volume. Still, further research is needed to design interventions, understand the mechanism(s) involved in altering resilience, and maximize physical activity’s benefits in aging people.
