Background. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurologic disorder characterized by motor impairments which alter the walking capacity, and lead to reduced walking speed, decreased stride length and increased double support time. Physical therapy interventions are an important part of the non-pharmacological treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Aims. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is a different outcome regarding improvement of walking speed, when applying a physical therapy program in an individual or in a group manner. Methods. A prospective, observational, cohort type study on 60 patients with Parkinson’s disease was carried out between November 2014 July 2017, in the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital in Cluj-Napoca, Cluj county, Romania. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, and were prescribed either individual (1 patient and 1 physical therapist) or group physical therapy (6 patients and 1 physical therapist). The treatment protocol included 10 sessions of physical therapy, in the same room setting, and patients performed the same routine of exercises, except for the 3 breaks during the sessions in the group therapy for informal socialization. Walking speed was measured by two validated instruments, the 6-minute walk test and the 10-meter walk test, before and after treatment. Results. There was an increase in both groups regarding gait speed after treatment (all p<0.05), except for the values obtained by the 6-minute walk test in the individual therapy group, which did not improve significantly. The 6-minute walk test scores after treatment showed significantly higher values of gait speed in the group therapy, compared to individual therapy (p=0.002). Conclusions. Patients with Parkinson’s disease could benefit more from a group physical therapy program, as gait speed increased significantly. The group approach facilitates interactions and is cost-effective, as it requires only one therapist and more patients.

Background. One of the most discussed relationships in sports psychology is the relationship between competitive anxiety and sport performance. Competitive anxiety was found to be influenced by individual factors. An important psychological concept found to be related to competitive anxiety is mental toughness, which is defined as the superior mental qualities of an athlete that sustain success and excellence in sports. Aims. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between mental toughness and competitive anxiety among athlete students. Methods. Participants were 140 athletes from secondary sport schools, handball players, aged between 13 to 19 years (m = 15.97, SD = 1.622). Self-reports were obtained from all athletes regarding their mental toughness (Sport Mental toughness Questionnaire) and their competitive anxiety (Sport Anxiety Scale-2). Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling framework. Results. Correlation between Sport Mental Toughness scales ranged between r=.289 and r=.489. Correlation for Sport Anxiety Scale dimensions ranged between r=.418 and r=.633, all of them being positive. Standardized path indicator between Sport Mental Toughness and Sport Anxiety Scale was β = -.843, which explains almost 71% of the latent endogenous variance (R2=.711). Conclusions. The results of the current study highlighted the relationship between mental toughness and competitive anxiety.
