Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med studien var att undersöka om de handbollsspelare som når Riksläger 4 skiljer sig åt i användandet av copingstrategier jämfört med de handbollsspelare som inte når Riksläger 4. Resultatet visade att spelare som deltog på läger R4 uppvisade högre värden av copingstrategierna: coping with adversity,concentration,confidence and achievment against coachability, peaking under pressure och freedomofworry än den gruppen av spelare som endast deltog vid R1. Resultatet tyder på att de spelare som blir uttagna till R4 i högre utsträckning använder sig av effektivare copingstrategier något som även är i linje med tidigare forskning (t.ex. van Yperen, 2009). Författarna rekommenderar därför både tränare och spelare att öka sin kunskap kring copingstrategiers eventuella inverkan på prestation för att kunna optimera den aktives chanser att lyckas.

- ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to examine mediating effects of emotion regulation and sport-specific dispositional mindfulness on self-rated athletic training performance, following the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) intervention, compared to a Psychological Skills Training (PST) control group.MethodsSixty-nine competitive elite athletes who did not have any prior experience with mindfulness- and acceptance-based exercises, were recruited and randomly assigned into either a MAC group or a traditional PST group. Latent growth curve analyses were performed to examine longitudinal relationships among the study variables. Mediation analyses were conducted to test if the growth trajectory of each of the proposed mediators mediated the relationship between the intervention and perceived performance (measured at T3).ResultsFindings showed that the MAC intervention had an indirect effect on self-rated athletic training performance through changes in dispositional mindfulness and emotion regulation respectively. Further, the MAC- group obtained greater post-test improvements in athletic mindfulness, emotion regulation abilities, and perceived performance compared to the PST group.ConclusionsOverall, findings suggest that dispositional athletic mindfulness and emotion regulation may function as important mechanisms in MAC, and that the MAC approach is a more effective intervention compared to the PST condition in reducing emotion regulation difficulties, as well as enhancing sport-relevant mindfulness skills and perceived athletic training performance in elite sport.

- The aim of this article was to describe the implementation of a team-based MAC intervention, and discuss important aspects to consider when implementing the MAC protocol in elite team sports. The MAC program contains seven modules in which core concepts such as mindfulness, acceptance, and values-driven behavior are being taught and practiced. We experienced conceptual as well as practical challenges in the application of the MAC protocol. A general recommendation in implementing MAC concepts and exercises for teams is to make the content of the program sport-specific.

Applied behavioural analysis in top-level football : Theory and application

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite a strong research base and the potential for effective behaviour modification, the application of behavioural sport psychology in team sport is rarely described in the literature. Therefore, drawing on our experiences as sport psychology consultants the aim of this chapter is to provide a description of how applied behaviour analysis (ABA; Baer, Wolf, & Risley, 1968, 1987) can be applied in top-level football. ABA has extensive support from other contexts including behavioural problems in youth and organizational development and we have found it very useful in our work with athletes. First, behavioural sport psychology in relation to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychological skills training (PST) will be discussed. Second, the seven dimensions of ABA will be described using examples from the football. Finally, the application of these dimensions is highlighted in a case of an elite football player experiencing anxiety and self-confidence issues. We also summarize the benefits of adopting a behavioural approach in football. With so few descriptions of ABA in sport, we hope this chapter could provide a useful start for practitioners. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, Erkut Konter, Jürgen Beckmann and Todd M.
