Changes in Self-Reported Physical Fitness, Performance, and Side Effects Across the Phases of the Menstrual Cycle Among Competitive Endurance Athletes

2019

Purpose: To investigate changes in self-reported physical fitness, performance, and side effects across the menstrual cycle (MC) phases among competitive endurance athletes and to describe their knowledge and communication with coaches about the MC. Methods: The responses of 140 participants (older than 18 y) competing in biathlon or cross-country skiing at the (inter)national level were analyzed. Data were collected via an online questionnaire addressing participants’ competitive level, training volume, MC history, physical fitness, and performance during the MC, MC-related side effects, and knowledge and communication with coaches about the MC and its effects on training and performance. …

Influence of Menstrual Cycle or Hormonal Contraceptive Phase on Energy Intake and Metabolic Hormones—A Pilot Study

2021

Sex hormones are suggested to influence energy intake (EI) and metabolic hormones. This study investigated the influence of menstrual cycle (MC) and hormonal contraceptive (HC) cycle phases on EI, energy availability (EA), and metabolic hormones in recreational athletes (eumenorrheic, NHC = 15 and monophasic HC-users, CHC = 9). In addition, 72-h dietary and training logs were collected in addition to blood samples, which were analyzed for 17β-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), leptin, total ghrelin, insulin, and tri-iodothyronine (T3). Measurements were completed at four time-points (phases): Bleeding, mid-follicular (FP)/active 1, ovulation (OVU)/active 2, mid-luteal (LP)/inactive in NHC/C…

Profiles of mental well- and ill-being among elite athletes: Associations with sport-related demands and resources

2022

The aim of the present study was to identify profiles of elite athlete mental well- and ill-being and study how the profiles (i.e., subgroups of athletes) differed in sport-related demands and resources. A total of 259 Finnish elite athletes (n = 170 active and n = 89 retired) completed quantitative self-report inventories. Through cluster analysis, four profiles of mental well- and ill-being were identified. Profile 1 was overrepresented by retired, older, and male athletes, and characterized by good mental well-being. Profile 2 consisted mainly of active athletes who reported mild risk for alcohol abuse. Profile 3 consisted mainly of women who displayed possible presence of an eating diso…

Mindfulness-acceptance-commitment program for athletes and exercisers : an action research case study

2016

Control-based psychological skills training (PST) practices have been widely capitalized on in sport for the past few decades, despite inconsistent empirical evidence of their efficacy on sport performance. The Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment (MAC) program has preliminary support as an additional approach in performance enhancement, however, there is very limited research involving its implementation especially within group settings. Current study was aimed at planning, implementation, and evaluation of a seven-session MAC program among a diverse group of active athletes and regular exercisers (n=16). This study was an educational action research case study with a mixed method design. Per…

The role of gender and coaching styles in adolescent student-athletes’ motivational orientations in sport and school

2022

AbstractResearch indicates that the dominant discourses of gender are ingrained in dual career (DC) practices critically influencing athletes’ motivation to construct a DC pathway. While it is important to ensure that all athletes have an equal access to construct a DC pathway despite their gender, there is a gap in the literature examining the role that coaches play in gendering of athletes’ DC pathways. The present study longitudinally examined the gender differences in student-athletes’ motivational orientations in sport and academics throughout high school and the role of coaching style in these orientations. The gender differences in coaching styles in terms of student-athletes’ gender…

Motivaation laadun yhteys harjoitteluun 15-vuotiailla maastohiihtäjillä

2011

Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkittiin 15-vuotiaiden maastohiihtäjien motivaation laatua, koettua fyysistä pätevyyttä, sekä näiden tekijöiden vaikutuksia hiihtäjien kilpailu- ja harjoittelumääriin, sekä näkemykseen hiihtourastaan tulevaisuudessa. Myös sukupuolen vaikutus otettiin tutkimuksessa huomioon. Motivaation laatua pidetään keskeisenä asiana urheilijan tai liikunnan harrastajan harjoittelun ja urheilu-uran jatkumisen kannalta. Tässä tutkimuksessa motivaatiota lähestyttiin Decin ja Ryanin kehittelemän itse-määräämisteorian viitekehyksestä (1985b, 2000b, 2002). Tutkimus oli luonteeltaan määrällinen ja analysoinnissa käytettiin tilastollisia analyysimenetelmiä (mm. MANOVA, ANOVA, log-lineaarine…
