Assessing the Impact of a Virtual Reality Cognitive Intervention on Tennis Performance in Junior Tennis Players: Pilot Study

Assessing the Impact of a Virtual Reality Cognitive Intervention on Tennis Performance in Junior Tennis Players: Pilot Study

This idea stems from research showing that both amateur and elite athletes typically exhibit greater accuracy and faster response times on select cognitive tasks [2,3], and that one’s underlying cognitive abilities can predict future athletic achievement [4-6]. However, the existing literature on whether enhancing these abilities through cognitive training can improve athletic performance is limited [7-9].

Effectiveness of Self-Management Programs Among Athletes With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Effectiveness of Self-Management Programs Among Athletes With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Additionally, athletes may exhibit specific risk factors predisposing them to PFPS, such as quadriceps muscle weakness, hip muscle dysfunction, patellar malalignment, and foot biomechanical abnormalities [1]. These factors can disrupt patellofemoral joint mechanics, alter load distribution, and contribute to the onset and persistence of PFPS symptoms among athletes.

The Effect of a Novel Video Game on Young Soccer Players' Sports Performance and Attention: Randomized Controlled Trial

Nonetheless, the high economic cost and specialized expertise required for their use pose significant challenges, making it difficult to implement them in the daily lives of athletes. Another way to harness the use of technology with a better cost-benefit relationship is through the use of video games; in particular, those with a clear aim to improve performance and learning, known as serious games [6].

Mobile-Delivered Mindfulness Intervention on Anxiety Level Among College Athletes: Randomized Controlled Trial

Therefore, more academic attention is needed to address the mental health challenges among college athletes during and after their college years. Clinical resources such as mental health counseling, psychotherapy, and student services centers are common health care resources on campus that college athletes could turn to for their mental health issues.

Effects of a 20-Week High-Intensity Strength Training Program on Muscle Strength Gain and Cardiac Adaptation in Untrained Men: Preliminary Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Study

Effects of a 20-Week High-Intensity Strength Training Program on Muscle Strength Gain and Cardiac Adaptation in Untrained Men: Preliminary Results of a Prospective Longitudinal Study

The physiological characteristics of the athletes’ hearts in strength disciplines have gained significant attention in recent years, challenging Morganroth’s hypothesis that athletes in endurance or resistance sports have divergent cardiac remodeling phenotypes [1]. According to this postulate, endurance athletes typically exhibit eccentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy as a result of an increased exercise-induced cardiac preload.

Psychological Screening and Tracking of Athletes and Digital Mental Health Solutions in a Hybrid Model of Care: Mini Review

Psychological Screening and Tracking of Athletes and Digital Mental Health Solutions in a Hybrid Model of Care: Mini Review

Athletes were initially included with this group. However, it should be clarified that high-level athletes are a peculiar at-risk group because there is an increased vulnerability yet resilience that requires further investigation and articulation.
