Preferences Toward Gender Of Coach And Perceptions Of Roles Of Basketball Coaches, Jacqui L. Kalin, Jennifer J. Waldron
Preferences Toward Gender Of Coach And Perceptions Of Roles Of Basketball Coaches, Jacqui L. Kalin, Jennifer J. Waldron
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 8(4): 303-317. Framed within role congruity theory this study examined (a) if female collegiate basketball players have a preference toward male or female head basketball coaches, (b) if the gender and enjoyment level of past head coaches influence preferences toward a male or female head coach and/or influence the perceived roles of women’s basketball head coaches, and (c) if there is a relationship between the perceived roles of women’s basketball head coaches and female collegiate basketball players’ preferences toward male or female head coaches. Fifty-nine women’s basketball players from 10 Division I universities completed a …
Risk Of Disordered Eating Among Division I Female College Athletes, Elizabeth Wells, Alexandra Chin, Jennifer Tacke, Jennifer Bunn
Risk Of Disordered Eating Among Division I Female College Athletes, Elizabeth Wells, Alexandra Chin, Jennifer Tacke, Jennifer Bunn
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 256-264, 2015. The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of disordered eating (DE) among female athletes in lean and non-lean sports using the ATHLETE survey. The ATHLETE survey is divided into six different constructs, and a high score indicates a high risk for DE. Eighty-three varsity female athletes from eight Campbell University sports teams completed the survey and a medical history form anonymously. The sports were divided into sports that traditionally have a high risk for DE (lean sports) and those with a low risk (non-lean sports). The lean sports included: …
The Relationship Of Gender And Self-Efficacy On Social Physique Anxiety Among College Students, Sara M. Rothberger, Brandonn Harris, Daniel Czech, Bridget F. Melton
The Relationship Of Gender And Self-Efficacy On Social Physique Anxiety Among College Students, Sara M. Rothberger, Brandonn Harris, Daniel Czech, Bridget F. Melton
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 8(3): 234-242, 2015. The anxiety or fear associated with physique evaluation is defined as Social Physique Anxiety (SPA). Numerous studies have examined this construct, yet a gap exists exploring this phenomenon among current college students with SPA, self-efficacy, and gender concurrently. Therefore, the purposes of this study included quantitatively analyzing the association between SPA, gender, and self-efficacy. Participants included 237 students at a Southeastern university participating in jogging, body conditioning, or weight training courses. Analysis of Variance yielded a significant main effect for self-efficacy as well, as those with lower self-efficacy displayed higher levels of …
Effects Of A Smart-Phone Application On Psychological, Physiological, And Performance Variables In College-Aged Individuals While Running, Martin J. Moran, John M. Coons
Effects Of A Smart-Phone Application On Psychological, Physiological, And Performance Variables In College-Aged Individuals While Running, Martin J. Moran, John M. Coons
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 8(2) : 104-111, 2015. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of auditory exergaming through the use of a smart-phone app called Zombies, Run! on psychological, physiological, and performance variables in college-aged individuals while running. Participants included both males (n = 10) and females (n = 10). Participants ran three 15 minute trials, after which they completed motivational questionnaires regarding inspiration, enjoyment, confidence, and anxiety levels. The first run got the participants accustomed to the application. The second and third were randomly counterbalanced either using the application again or running with no …
Psychological Responses Prior To A Strenuous Task Involving An Injured Joint, Ashley K. Balles, Stacey A. Gaines, Ryan Fiddler, Christopher M. Hearon
Psychological Responses Prior To A Strenuous Task Involving An Injured Joint, Ashley K. Balles, Stacey A. Gaines, Ryan Fiddler, Christopher M. Hearon
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Injuries are an inherent risk of sport participation. Roughly 68% of athletes experience an athletic injury during their college career, with over half being injuries to the lower extremity (Hootman, Dick & Agel, 2007). While much attention has been given to the physical effects of an injury, the psychological ramifications can also affect an athlete’s recovery from injury. According to Quinn & Fallon (2008), an athlete can physically recover from an injury however they may not attain a complete psychological recovery. An athlete’s performance can be affected negatively if they return to sport participation without recovering psychologically from their injury, …
Effects Of Acute Exercise On Executive Functions Of Cognition, Katlyn Debord, Erika Deike
Effects Of Acute Exercise On Executive Functions Of Cognition, Katlyn Debord, Erika Deike
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an acute bout of aerobic exercise on executive functions of cognition, using the Interactive Stroop Effect Test. Men (N=) and women (N=), with a mean age of 22.33±, completed both a congruent and incongruent series on the Interactive Stroop Test before and after exercise. All participants were recreationally trained, exercising on an average of 1.24 hours a day and 4.5 days a week. The exercise bout consisted of running on a treadmill for 20 minutes at a moderate intensity, which was determined by using the Rate of Perceived Exertion …
Executive Function Relationships To Sitting Time And Physical Activity: A Pilot Study, Megan E. Mcclendon, Mark D. Faries, Jessica Thompson, Danielle Cofield
Executive Function Relationships To Sitting Time And Physical Activity: A Pilot Study, Megan E. Mcclendon, Mark D. Faries, Jessica Thompson, Danielle Cofield
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Executive function (EF) refers to the neurocognitive perspective of supervisory abilities to self-regulate during goal-direct behavior. More specifically, the ability to attend to and inhibit dominant responses (i.e. Attention/Inhibition) has been found to moderate the intention and physical activity (PA) relationship, yet does not appear to relate to PA. However, this EF is related to other health behaviors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption (i.e. behaviors to be inhibited). The lack of relationship to PA might be due to it being a behavior that is not to be inhibited, compared to a behavior that should be inhibited (e.g. sitting time). …
Use Of Sports Science Knowledge By Turkish Coaches, Koray Kilic, Mustafa Levent Ince
Use Of Sports Science Knowledge By Turkish Coaches, Koray Kilic, Mustafa Levent Ince
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 8(1) : 21-37, 2015. The purpose of this study is to examine the following research questions in Turkish coaching context: a) What are coaches’ perceptions on the application of sport science research to their coaching methods? b) What sources do coaches utilize to obtain the knowledge they need? c) What barriers do coaches encounter when trying to access and apply the knowledge they need for their sport? In addition, differences in research questions responses were examined based on gender, years of coaching experience, academic educational level, coaching certificate level, coaching team or individual sports, and …
