The value of using motivational theory to understand active transport behaviors
AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the motivations behind participants' choices of active transport using electric bicycles over passive transport (e.g. going by bus or car) in a community-based e-bike project called 'Elcyklist'. METHODS: This study involved 17 participants who had previously taken part in the Projekt Elcyklist in the Halmstad community. The participants ranged in age from 32 to 66 years, with an average age of 44 …
Development of a clinical sport projective assessment method
Within the field of applied sport psychology, there is an increasing appreciation for diversity of training models, research methodologies, and therapeutic approaches. For example, psychodynamic formulations and interpretations have begun to appear more frequently in the sport psychology literature. In keeping with emerging psychodynamic viewpoints, we believe the time is right to introduce a qualitative sport-specific projective instrument: the …
A methodology of loving kindness
This article concerns some central aspects of methodology in qualitative research: the participants’ and investigators’ storytelling, and the main instruments in many interview-based qualitative studies, the researchers themselves. We discuss several ethical and interpersonal aspects of qualitative research encounters between investigators and their interviewee participants. Interviewing research participants is a fundamentally exploitative proce…
Physical activity in the life of a woman with cerebral palsy
Although physical activity can have substantial mental and physical health benefits, people with cerebral palsy usually lead sedentary lives. To understand, at an individual level, this inactivity, we interviewed a 29-year-old minimally active woman with cerebral palsy (Alana) about the meanings and experiences of physical activity throughout her life. Using a case-study approach, we found that Alana had adverse childhood experiences with physica…
Physical activity and fantasies in the life of an adult with cerebral palsy
Many people with cerebral palsy experience personal and social barriers to engaging in physical activity that may lead to sedentary living. To understand why such inactivity may occur, we examined the meanings and experiences of physical activity in the life of an adult with cerebral palsy (David, aged 27). In this case study, we interviewed David about his life and analysed his stories using psychodynamic theory. Walking was the main physical ac…

Psychosocial Influences on Central and Peripheral Vision and Reaction Time During Demanding Tasks
We examined perceptual deficits hypothesized in a model of stress and injury relationships. An ophthalmologic perimeter was used to measure peripheral and central vision during baseline and demanding task situations for 201 intercollegiate athletes from 10 sports. We conducted analyses of covariance with the stress measures as dependent variables and their appropriate baseline measures as covariates. Performance under demanding tasks deteriorated…
Positive states of mind and athletic injury risk
Horowitz, Adler, and Kegeles recently developed the Positive States of Mind (PSOM) scale to assess the ability to achieve desirable states of mind. According to a stress and injury model, a theoretical foundation exists for the PSOM being used to predict vulnerability to athletic injuries. In the first study, 277 collegiate athletes from 10 sports completed the PSOM. The scale showed good internal consistency; Cronbach's alpha was .77 for the six…
Effects of Life-Event Stress on Anxiety and Peripheral Narrowing
This study examined one of the mechanisms proposed to be behind the relationship between life stress and injury. Past researchers have identified a correlation between high life stress and athletic injury for contact and noncontact sports and for male and female athletes, but they did not investigate why athletes who experienced stress from life events were more prone to injury than those whose lives were low in stressful events. The authors test…
