A Monetary Reward Alters Pacing But Not Performance In Competitive Cyclists, Sabrina Skorski, Kevin Thompson, Richard Keegan, Tim Meyer, Chris Abbiss
A Monetary Reward Alters Pacing But Not Performance In Competitive Cyclists, Sabrina Skorski, Kevin Thompson, Richard Keegan, Tim Meyer, Chris Abbiss

Money has frequently been used as an extrinsic motivator since it is assumed that humans are willing to invest more effort for financial reward. However, the influence of a monetary reward on pacing and performance in trained athletes is not well-understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the influence of a monetary reward in well-trained cyclists on their pacing and performance during short and long cycling time trials (TT). Twentythree cyclists (6 ♀, 17 ♂) completed 4 self-paced time trials (TTs, 2 short: 4 km and 6 min; 2 long: 20 km and 30 min); in a …

Analysing and predicting sports performance to optimise training and competition is a wide and complex field. To date, most methods heavily rely on the subjective experience of trainers and athletes. Nevertheless, objective mathematical methods and computer-based solutions have become increasingly popular over recent years and offer a wide range of research topics. This research is by nature interdisciplinary, involving sport and exercise science together with computational science and engineering.
Student-Athletes In My Classroom: Australian Teachers’ Perspectives Of The Problems Faced By Student-Athletes Balancing School And Sport, Maureen M. O'Neill, Angela A. Calder, Beverley Hinz
Student-Athletes In My Classroom: Australian Teachers’ Perspectives Of The Problems Faced By Student-Athletes Balancing School And Sport, Maureen M. O'Neill, Angela A. Calder, Beverley Hinz
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
This paper emerged from a larger project about Australian high performance school age athletes self-identified problems in balancing their academic and sporting lives. Teachers of student-athletes are ideally placed to observe stresses faced by these students, but little is published about teacher perspectives on this topic. A qualitative analysis of interview data from 10 teachers, across 10 Australian secondary schools, revealed critical information about the similarities and differences in their perspectives compared to those of student-athletes and parents. Teachers identified five main areas where student-athletes required dedicated support, and provided examples of solutions to address these. Their practical strategies complement …
The Relationship Between Physical Exercise And Cognition In Children With Typical Development And Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Beron Wei Zhong Tan
The Relationship Between Physical Exercise And Cognition In Children With Typical Development And Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Beron Wei Zhong Tan
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This research project sought to investigate the relationship between physical exercise and cognition in children with and without a neurodevelopmental condition. To achieve this aim, three approaches were undertaken to explore the exercise and cognition relationship. The first approach sought to understand the efficacy of exercise interventions on cognition in individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder. The second approach was to understand the effectiveness of an exercise activity when compared to a cognitively-engaging tablet game activity on measures of implicit learning and attention in children with and without a neurodevelopmental condition. The third approach was to investigate if psychophysiological measures could …
