Background. Imagery ability is one of the most potent factors influencing imagery effectiveness. Therefore, prior to imagery training, it is important to assess the participant’s imagery ability, typically using a self-report questionnaire. Objectives. This study examined the factorial validity and internal consistency of the Malaysian adapted SIAQ using confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha. Methods. The questionnaire was administered online to 193 participants (101 men and 92 women) with a mean age of 22.06 ± 3.72. The data were normalized, and four models were tested (model 1: data with square root transformation for values above the threshold; model 2: data with logarithm transformation for values above the threshold; model 3: data with values above threshold were logarithm transformed and values that were almost reaching the threshold (Item_4 and Item_12) were transformed by square root; and model 4: data with values above and reaching the threshold were logarithm transformed). Results. The result of factorial analysis for model 2 revealed a good model fit (X^2=184.76, df=80, p<0.00, X^2/df=2.31, CFI=0.94, TLI=0.92, SRMR=.05, and RMSEA=.08) for the five-factor model structure implicating a good factorial validity. Furthermore, all path loadings exceeding .50 indicated good convergent validity of the subscales. Moreover, alpha coefficients range from 0.77 to 0.85 (0.85 for skill, 0.77 for strategy, 0.84 for goal, 0.77 for affect, and 0.78 for mastery). Conclusion. It is concluded that SIAQ-M possesses acceptable factorial validity and internal consistency and can measure imagery ability among Malaysian athletes.

Background. Volleyball is a popular non-contact sport around the globe. Unfortunately, volleyball players often suffer from an ankle sprain and knee and shoulder injuries. Proper techniques, education, and preventive exercises such as adequate warm-ups can reduce the risk of injury. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate and compare the implementation of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) volleyball injury prevention program’s exercises among professional volleyball players in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Methods. A web-based survey was conducted from October 2019 to October 2020 to acquire information regarding implementing the OSTRC volleyball injury prevention program’s exercises distributed to 377 professional volleyball players in six GCC countries. Chi-square statistics were used to examine differences among the countries and age groups. Results. Three hundred forty-one male volleyball players participated (response rate of 90.5%), mostly 20-29 years old. About half of the volleyball players (range 46.9% to 56.9%) in the GCC countries performed the OSTRC volleyball injury prevention program’s exercises in their current practice. Exercise implementation rates varied among age groups and countries with no statistical difference (p = .973 and p = .913, respectively). Conclusion. This study found that about 50% of volleyball players applied the 18 recommended OSTRC injury prevention exercises in the GCC countries. Awareness campaigns and training improvements need to be introduced to increase the implementation rates.

Background. Physical education learning in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic has a remarkable impact on students' creativity. Objectives. This study aims to determine the effect of applying the inquiry and discovery models in online physical education learning to develop high school students' creativity. Methods. The multiple treatment and control with the pre and post-test procedure were used, while the samples were second-grade students in physical education learning of Senior High School in Bandung, consisting of 3 groups with 30 members each selected using random cluster sampling. The sample consists of 2 experimental and one control group. Experimental groups 1 and 2 received the inquiry and discovery learning model, respectively, while the control group received the conventional for 16 meetings each. Data collection was carried out by filling out a creativity questionnaire through a Google form before and after treatment. Results. The inquiry model has no difference in the average value of creativity compared to the discovery model's class (p=0.066). In contrast, the inquiry and discovery models have a different average creativity value than the class using the conventional/control model (p=0.001). Conclusions. There is no difference in increasing creativity between the inquiry and discovery models. Although the results of the Bonferroni test showed no difference in the mean value of invention in the inquiry model and the discovery model, when compared to the control group, the inquiry model was more effective.

Background. Groin injuries are frequent and commonly seen in soccer. The Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) increases eccentric hip adduction strength and reduces the groin injury incident. Objectives. To assess the professional and semi-professional soccer players and coaches’ awareness, implementation, and opinion of the CAE. Methods. A cross-sectional study based on a survey consisting of questions covering the awareness, implementation, and opinion of CAE by soccer players and coaches. It was sent to all FIFA continental football federations. Primary outcomes were awareness level, implementation rate, and their view of the CAE’s effectiveness in reducing groin injury. Results. A total of 1621 male and female professional and semi-professional soccer players (PP and SPP) and coaches (PC and SPC) completed the survey. Most PP (93.5%) and SPP (81.4%) were unaware of the CAE (p<0.001), with high implementation rates (p=0.005). In contrast, the PC had significantly higher awareness about the CAE than the SPC (p<0.001). A moderate association between the level and awareness (Cramér’s V=0.340) was found. The highest percentage of awareness was found in the UEFA at 42.6%. Over 67% of those who implemented the CAE reported a positive attitude about the program’s efficacy, with a score of >8 out of 10. Conclusion. Most PP, SPP, and SPC were unaware of the CAE. Further work needs to be done to educate soccer players and coaches about the importance of implementing the CAE and its effectiveness in reducing groin injuries to enhance the CAE implementation.

Background. Golf is relatively new in China, and overall playing skills are low. Although golf coaches are vital in improving golf skills, their teaching skills are underdeveloped. Objectives. This study aims to explore how the coach’s tacit knowledge affects the transfer performance by exploring the factors that affect the teaching ability of Chinese golf coaches. It aims to improve the teaching efficiency of coaches in physical education and give reference to other sports in teaching. Methods. Participants (N=339) included golf coaches from Shenzhen (China) and members of an online golf instructor group. Results. (1) The possession of tacit knowledge allows coaches better to transmit that information, both amount and effectiveness. (2) Knowledge transferability improved knowledge transfer performance, mediating the relationship between tacit knowledge and knowledge transfer. (3) Skilled tacit knowledge had more influence on transfer capacity than cognitive tacit knowledge. (4) Absorptive capacity positively regulates transferability and knowledge transfer performance. Conclusion. The findings can contribute to developing a theoretical understanding of golf coaching that can improve practice in China, where golf coaching is still at an early stage of development.

Background. Increasingly, women are training and competing in mixed martial arts (MMA). Women are, however, hugely underrepresented in the research literature. Objectives. The purpose of this brief report was to assess concussion knowledge, mental health and attention-related errors among female MMA competitors and factors that might affect data quality when doing a study during a competition. Methods. Forty-one athletes participated at different stages (mean age 25.2±.5). Pre-fight, participants were asked about their concussion history, both before and after being given a definition. They answered questions about MMA background and completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the General Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-7, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, the Sports Concussion Assessment Tool-5 (also completed post-fight), and the Sustained Attention Response Task. Two weeks later, competitors were asked to answer mental health questionnaires and the concussion symptom scale again. Results. Mean years in MMA were 7.3±5.5. Before reading a concussion definition, 16.7% reported a concussion history, 30.6% reported a concussion history after reading the definition. The error score on the attention response task was 12.12±6.55. Pre-fight, the SCAT5 score was 9.0±8.6, post-fight it was 9.1±6.8, and two weeks later, 7.3±11.2. Scores on mental health scales were between 3.9-5.9±3.7-4.6 pre-fight and between 4.3-6.1±5.9-10 two weeks later. Conclusion. The change in concussion reporting indicates a lack of knowledge; scores on symptoms scales and attention test did not indicate problems. Factors affecting side-line evaluation included coaches' willingness to participate and the athletes' emotional state. Significant limitations of this study included possible language barriers. Therefore, results should be interpreted with caution.

Background. Considering the existence of FRDE (Fundamental Reform Document of Education) as a national guideline, there is a need to design strategies for physical education and sports in schools, so that due to the limited resources, reaching the desired targets and plans outlined in the FRDE become possible. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to strategically plan the physical education and sports of Iranian students using the QSPM matrix with a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) method. Methods. The sample of the quantitative section was physical education staff members of the general departments and headquarters (deputy, director, and expert) which was a total of 120 people. The main search tools were as follows: 1The questionnaire, In the qualitative part, the participants included thirteen professors and knowledgeable experts in the field of education who were interviewed to determine the main components of the questionnaire. 2IFE, EFE, and SWOT matrices were used to determine the strategic position and strategy development and a quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) was used to prioritize the strategies. Results. The results showed that the strategic position of physical education and sports in Iranian schools is in an offensive position and has six strengths, six weaknesses, six opportunities, and six threats. Analyses determined Four SO strategies, two WO strategies, two ST strategies and one WT strategy, and a total of nine strategies. Conclusion. It seems that based on the prioritization of strategies, the promotion of students' motor literacy, as well as a healthy and active lifestyle as the main targets in physical education and sports in schools, should be considered by policymakers in this field.
