Researchers have suggested that athletes are at-risk for mental health difficulties partly due to the stressors they encounter. Despite this, athletes may not acknowledge nor seek support for their mental health problems. The aim of this study is to explore talented athletes' experiences of seeking help for mental help difficulties, and their perceptions of the psychological services offered. Utilizing letter to self-methodology, 16 talented athletes (11 female; M_age = 25.27, SD = 7.95) were asked to write a letter to their younger self outlining their experiences of seeking help for mental health difficulties. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis, and five themes were generated: (1) Athletes have a tendency to bottle up feelings as a way to protect themselves; (2) Unable to identify signs and symptoms of mental ill-health; (3) Availability of sport psychology support has improved, but it is still insufficient; (4) Athletes are individual and should be treated as so; and (5) The sporting environment should attempt to develop cultural competency. Following this, a composite version of the letter was developed and presented to a selection of the original sample (n = 9). Member reflection interviews were then completed (M_duration = 63.07 min; SD = 11.15) to explore their responses to the letter. This study provides insight into athletes’ current and desired mental health support. From the findings, a set of recommendations are forwarded to strengthen the provision of mental health support and provide athletes with earlier and tailored support.

研究人员表示，运动员面临心理健康问题的风险，部分原因是他们遇到的压力源。尽管如此，运动员可能不承认或寻求支持他们的心理健康问题。摘要本研究旨在探讨天赋运动员心理困难求助的经历，以及他们对心理服务的感受。采用“给自己写信”的方法，要求16名有天赋的运动员（11名女性；Mage = 25.27, SD = 7.95）给年轻时的自己写一封信，概述他们寻求心理健康问题帮助的经历。运用反身性主题分析法对数据进行分析，得出五大主题：(1)运动员倾向于将自己的情感隐藏起来以保护自己；（二）不能识别精神疾病体征和症状的；(3)运动心理支持的可得性有所提高，但仍然不足；(4)运动员是个体，应被视为个体；(5)体育环境应努力培养文化胜任力。在此之后，信件的复合版本被开发并呈现给原始样本的选择（n = 9）。然后完成成员反思访谈（持续时间= 63.07分钟；标准差= 11.15），以了解他们对这封信的反应。本研究提供了洞察运动员当前和期望的心理健康支持。根据研究结果，提出了一套建议，以加强心理健康支持的提供，并为运动员提供早期和有针对性的支持。

This cross-sectional study examined whether mental toughness and resilience were associated with competitive achievement among 480 high-level esports players (M age = 22.88, SD = 3.94) across seven popular titles, including Multiplayer Online Battle Arena and First-Person Shooter games. Participants, drawn from the top 40 % of competitive ranks, completed the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 18 and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10. Ordinal logistic regression was used to estimate associations and potential moderation by gender and game type. Neither mental toughness (β = −0.001, p = .928) nor resilience (β = −0.024, p = .159) was significantly associated with achievement level, and no moderating effects were detected. Model fit was low (McFadden's pseudo-R² = .004 for the direct model; .005 for the interaction model), indicating negligible explanatory value. These null findings suggest that traditional sports psychology measures may not capture the psychological attributes most relevant to digital competition. The results highlight the need to develop and validate esports-specific constructs and tools that reflect the unique cognitive, social, and tactical demands of competitive gaming. Future research should explore alternative variables, longitudinal designs, and mixed-methods approaches to better understand the psychological determinants of esports performance.

这项横断面研究调查了480名高水平电子竞技玩家（M年龄= 22.88,SD = 3.94）在7款流行游戏（包括多人在线竞技和第一人称射击游戏）中的心理韧性和韧性是否与竞技成就有关。参与者从竞争队伍的前40%中挑选出来，完成了心理韧性问卷18和康纳-戴维森弹性量表10。使用有序逻辑回归来估计性别和游戏类型的关联和潜在调节。心理韧性（β = -0.001, p = .928）和心理韧性（β = -0.024, p = .159）与学业成就水平均无显著相关，且无调节效应。模型拟合较低（直接模型的McFadden伪r2 = 0.004）；005为相互作用模型)，说明解释价值可以忽略不计。这些无效的发现表明，传统的体育心理学测量可能无法捕捉到与数字竞争最相关的心理属性。研究结果强调了开发和验证电子竞技特定结构和工具的必要性，这些结构和工具反映了竞技游戏独特的认知、社交和战术需求。未来的研究应该探索替代变量、纵向设计和混合方法，以更好地理解电子竞技表现的心理决定因素。

Open goals are a promising strategy for increasing physical activity and are feasible for inclusion in walking programs. However, longer-term studies comparing open goals to traditional specific goal approaches are needed to inform real-world translation. Therefore, this pilot study compared open goals to specific goals and a control condition in a six-week walking program with four-week follow-up. A mixed-methods randomised controlled trial was conducted with 30 healthy adults (26 female; M_age = 52.07, SD = 10.85) with low-to-moderate physical activity levels. Participants in all conditions received pedometers, exercise diaries, and support sessions; only the open and specific goals groups were given weekly goals. Outcomes included step counts, psychological measures (e.g., enjoyment, self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, affect, and mental health), and implementation outcomes (acceptability, adherence, retention, fidelity). Interviews explored participants' program experiences. Both open and specific goals increased physical activity post-intervention to a similar extent, although open goals showed the largest within-group increases (M = 2965 steps; d = 1.06) and a steeper decline at follow-up. By follow-up, step counts in all groups were similar to or above baseline, with more positive program experiences reported in the open goals group. Retention was high across groups during the intervention, with reduced fidelity and behavioural spill-over effects observed at follow-up. This study provides further evidence that a walking program incorporating open goals is feasible to deliver and achieves similar physical activity increases to a specific-goal program, while potentially promoting more positive psychological experiences. Findings support the need for a larger-scale randomised controlled trial and provide important design considerations for future research.

开放式目标是增加身体活动的一种有希望的策略，并且在步行计划中是可行的。然而，需要更长期的研究来比较开放目标和传统的特定目标方法，以便为现实世界的翻译提供信息。因此，本初步研究比较了六周步行计划中的开放式目标、特定目标和对照条件，并进行了四周的随访。采用混合方法随机对照试验对30名低至中等体力活动水平的健康成人（女性26名，Mage = 52.07, SD = 10.85）进行研究。所有情况下的参与者都收到了计步器、运动日记和支持课程；只有开放目标组和特定目标组被给予每周目标。结果包括步数、心理测量（如享受、自我效能、内在动机、影响和心理健康）和实施结果（可接受性、依从性、保留性、保真度）。访谈探讨了参与者的项目经历。开放式目标和特定目标在干预后增加身体活动的程度相似，尽管开放式目标显示出最大的组内增加（M = 2,965步；d = 1.06），并且在随访中下降幅度更大。通过随访，所有组的步数与基线相似或高于基线，开放目标组报告了更积极的计划经验。在干预期间，各组的保留率很高，在随访中观察到保真度降低和行为溢出效应。这项研究提供了进一步的证据，表明包含开放目标的步行计划是可行的，可以实现与特定目标计划相似的身体活动增加，同时可能促进更积极的心理体验。研究结果支持需要更大规模的随机对照试验，并为未来的研究提供重要的设计考虑。

Sport schools enhance adolescents’ athletic development by offering extra training opportunities in addition to sport club training, but a rapid increase in the training load may elevate the risk of sport burnout. Thus, the aim of this study was twofold: (1) to explore the trajectories of three sport burnout dimensions (exhaustion, cynicism and inadequacy) among Finnish student-athletes (n = 268; 44 % female, 56 % male) across three academic years in lower secondary sport schools (ages 13–15 years), and to (2) examine how these trajectories were associated with student-athletes' perceived social support from parents, peers and coaches, as well as their gender, sport type and competition level. Student-athletes completed associated questionnaires at three time points at the end of three academic years—Grades 7, 8, and 9. Linear latent growth models revealed that feelings of inadequacy and cynicism increased during lower secondary school across the sample. At baseline, female student-athletes reported higher levels of inadequacy and cynicism, whereas males showed higher levels of exhaustion. Social support from peers and coaches reduced the initial levels and progression of burnout over time, respectively. Although paternal support initially minimized inadequacy, continued support subsequently tended to increase inadequacy. The findings highlight the importance of examining the three dimensions as interconnected aspects of sport burnout, and to support student-athletes in addressing emerging feelings of inadequacy and cynicism before these symptoms intensify. Educating coaches and strengthening peer support would be particularly beneficial while helping mothers to take a more active role in sports and fathers to provide support without becoming overly involved.

体校在俱乐部训练的基础上提供额外的训练机会，促进青少年的运动发展，但训练负荷的快速增加可能会增加运动倦怠的风险。因此，本研究的目的是双重的：(1)探索芬兰学生运动员（n = 268； 44%女性，56%男性）在初中体育学校（13-15岁）的三个学年中的三个运动倦怠维度（疲惫，玩世不恭和不足）的轨迹，以及(2)研究这些轨迹如何与学生运动员感知来自父母，同伴和教练的社会支持，以及他们的性别，运动类型和竞争水平相关。学生运动员在三个学年结束时的三个时间点完成了相关的问卷调查——7年级、8年级和9年级。线性潜在增长模型显示，在整个样本中，在初中阶段，不足感和玩世不恭的感觉有所增加。在基线上，女学生运动员报告了更高水平的不足和玩世不恭，而男学生运动员则表现出更高水平的疲惫。来自同伴和教练的社会支持分别降低了倦怠的初始水平和随着时间的推移的进展。虽然父亲的支持最初减少了不足，但持续的支持随后倾向于增加不足。研究结果强调了将这三个维度作为运动倦怠相互关联的方面进行检查的重要性，并支持学生运动员在这些症状加剧之前解决新出现的不足感和玩世不恭感。教育教练和加强同伴支持将特别有益，同时帮助母亲在体育运动中发挥更积极的作用，帮助父亲在不过度参与的情况下提供支持。

The psychological experience of competence is central to motivation for, and participation in, youth sport. To date, however, our understanding of this psychological phenomenon in sport has been limited to cognitive experiences of competence (e.g., perceived competence), with little exploration of affective experiences of competence as proposed in competence motivation theory (e.g., feelings of efficacy). In the present study, we examined the main and interactive effects of perceived competence and control on feelings of efficacy in youth sport. We recruited high school sport participants (N = 184; M_age = 15.48 years, SD_age = 0.99 years) to complete measures of perceived sport competence, implicit beliefs about athletic ability (i.e., perceived control), and competence-related pride, guilt, and shame in youth sport. A series of hierarchical multiple regression analyses provided consistent support for the main effects of perceived competence on feelings of efficacy. However, there was limited support for the main effects of perceived control on feelings of efficacy and no support for the interactive effects of perceived competence and control on feelings of efficacy. These findings provide partial support of competence motivation theory and have both theoretical implications for the psychological experience of competence and practical implications for regulating affective experiences of competence in youth sport.

能力的心理体验是青少年运动的动机和参与的核心。然而，到目前为止，我们对运动中这种心理现象的理解仅限于能力的认知体验（例如，感知能力），而很少探索能力动机理论中提出的能力的情感体验（例如，效能感）。在本研究中，我们考察了知觉能力和控制对青少年体育运动效能感的主要影响和交互影响。我们招募了184名高中体育参与者（N = 184；年龄= 15.48岁，年龄= 0.99岁）来完成感知运动能力、关于运动能力的内隐信念（即感知控制）以及青少年运动中与能力相关的自豪感、内疚感和羞耻感的测量。一系列的层次多元回归分析为感知能力对效能感的主要影响提供了一致的支持。然而，对感知控制对效能感的主要影响的支持有限，对感知能力和控制对效能感的交互影响的支持有限。本研究结果为胜任力动机理论提供了部分支持，并对青少年体育运动胜任力的心理体验和情感体验的调节具有理论意义和实践意义。

High-quality evidence supports exercise as a core treatment for knee osteoarthritis, improving osteoarthritis symptoms and overall health. However, most people with knee osteoarthritis are inactive and report barriers to exercise engagement. Technologies such as virtual reality (VR) may be used to improve the exercise experience and thus, promote engagement in effortful physical exercise, but clinical translation is difficult. In collaboration with knee osteoarthritis participants (n = 15) and clinicians (n = 6), we adapted a novel VR cycling system to a clinical setting (Study 1). Then, using a randomised cross-over experimental design, we evaluated the preliminary efficacy of VR cycling relative to a No-VR cycling control condition on exercise engagement, enjoyment, and pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (n = 25; Study 2). Both studies evaluated the credibility, acceptability, safety, and usability of the VR cycling system. The clinically-adapted VR cycling system resulted in greater exercise enjoyment (U = 0.82, p < 0.001) and engagement (increased time spent cycling: t₂₄ = 2.53, p = 0.02; and greater total work t₂₄ = 2.13, p = 0.04) than No-VR cycling. The VR cycling system was safe (no adverse events) and had high credibility and acceptability in people with knee osteoarthritis, although clinicians reported some usability/technical issues.

Future work to evaluate the long-term efficacy of a prolonged VR cycling intervention is warranted.

高质量的证据支持运动作为膝关节骨关节炎的核心治疗，改善骨关节炎症状和整体健康。然而，大多数患有膝骨关节炎的人都不活跃，并且报告了运动参与的障碍。虚拟现实（VR）等技术可用于改善运动体验，从而促进艰苦的体育锻炼，但临床翻译是困难的。我们与膝关节骨性关节炎参与者（n=15）和临床医生（n=6）合作，将一种新型VR循环系统应用于临床环境（研究1）。然后，采用随机交叉实验设计，我们评估了VR骑行相对于No-VR骑行对照条件对膝关节骨关节炎患者运动参与、享受和疼痛的初步疗效（n=25；研究2）。两项研究都评估了VR循环系统的可信度、可接受性、安全性和可用性。临床适应的VR骑车系统比不适应VR骑车的人更享受运动（U= 0.82, p 24=2.53, p = 0.02，总工作量t24=2.13, p =0.04）。尽管临床医生报告了一些可用性/技术问题，但VR循环系统是安全的（没有不良事件），并且在膝关节骨关节炎患者中具有很高的可信度和可接受性。这些发现支持VR循环系统的临床潜力，尽管进一步的技术改进以最大限度地提高该技术的可用性可能需要确保临床医生接受。未来评估长时间VR循环干预的长期疗效的工作是有必要的。

However, most people with knee osteoarthritis are inactive and report barriers to exercise engagement. Technologies such as virtual reality (VR) may be used to improve the exercise experience and thus, promote engagement in effortful physical exercise, but clinical translation is difficult. In collaboration with knee osteoarthritis participants (n = 15) and clinicians (n = 6), we adapted a novel VR cycling system to a clinical setting (Study 1). Then, using a randomised cross-over experimental design, we evaluated the preliminary efficacy of VR cycling relative to a No-VR cycling control condition on exercise engagement, enjoyment, and pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (n = 25; Study 2). Both studies evaluated the credibility, acceptability, safety, and usability of the VR cycling system. The clinically-adapted VR cycling system resulted in greater exercise enjoyment (U = 0.82, p < 0.001) and engagement (increased time spent cycling: t<sub>24</sub> = 2.53, p = 0.02; and greater total work t<sub>24</sub> = 2.13, p = 0.04) than No-VR cycling. The VR cycling system was safe (no adverse events) and had high credibility and acceptability in people with knee osteoarthritis, although clinicians reported some usability/technical issues.

Responding to Kerr et al. (2025), this commentary engages their three-part critique of the Safe Sport movement—ontological sprawl, epistemological thinness, and axiological tensions—and affirms the value of a “wicked problem” lens for implementation. I elaborate how concept creep across integrity and maltreatment domains dilutes focus; how codes and education have outpaced credible evidence of behavior or culture change; and how governance arrangements, including sport's self-regulatory exceptionalism, erode trust when case handling is slow, opaque, or inconsistent. I also indicate where the analysis could go further: operationalizing cultural responsiveness beyond Northern templates; specifying routine outcomes tied to theories of change; and embedding youth participation and practitioner competencies. Building on these gaps, I conclude with a next-generation safeguarding approach suggestion that pairs rights-based minimums with co-design and documented adaptation, uses routine outcome monitoring of safety/fairness climate, help-seeking/reporting, and procedural justice/timeliness, and strengthens legitimacy through diversified reporting routes, restorative options, and a professionalized workforce—shifting practice from checklists to measurable gains in climate, trust, and justice.

作为对Kerr等人（2025）的回应，这篇评论结合了他们对安全体育运动的三部分批判——本体论的蔓延、认识论的薄弱和价值论的紧张——并肯定了实施“邪恶问题”镜头的价值。我详细阐述了概念如何在诚信和虐待领域蔓延，稀释了焦点；守则和教育如何超越了行为或文化变化的可靠证据；当案件处理缓慢、不透明或不一致时，治理安排（包括体育自律的例外主义）如何侵蚀信任。我还指出了分析可以进一步发展的地方：超越北方模式的文化响应的操作性；指定与变化理论相关的常规结果；加强青年的参与和从业能力。在这些差距的基础上，我最后提出了下一代保障方法建议，即将基于权利的最低要求与共同设计和文件化的适应相结合，对安全/公平气氛、求助/报告和程序正义/及时性进行常规结果监测，并通过多样化的报告途径、恢复性选择和专业化的劳动力转移实践，从检查清单转向气候、信任和正义方面的可衡量收益，加强合法性。

Building on Sabiston et al.’s (2025) article highlighting considerations for future scholarship in body image research in sport and exercise, in this commentary we echo the call for intersectional research in the field, and propose a marrying of theoretical thought and methodological innovation from psychological, sociological, historical, feminist, and embodiment studies in future scholarship. By adopting a feminist ethics of care in concert with embodied critical methods, we suggest that the embracing of interdisciplinary and transformative theoretical/methodological approaches can support meaningful research that reflects the diversity and complexities of the body/minds of all members of our citizenship. Such approaches offer the opportunity to thoughtfully navigate research in sport and exercise contexts by taking into account the overlapping systems of power and experiences of discrimination that influence psychological and behavioural processes related to the body. By continuing to advance critical scholarship, we create opportunities to move beyond helping individuals reframe negative body-related thoughts and feelings, towards transforming the broader sociocultural pressures and systems of power that shape perceptions of what constitutes a ‘good’ or ‘moral’ body.

在Sabiston等人（2025）的文章的基础上，我们强调了未来体育和锻炼中身体形象研究的学术考虑，在这篇评论中，我们回应了对该领域交叉研究的呼吁，并建议在未来的学术研究中，将心理学、社会学、历史、女权主义和化身研究的理论思想和方法创新结合起来。通过将女性主义关怀伦理与具体化的批判方法相结合，我们建议采用跨学科和变革性的理论/方法方法，可以支持有意义的研究，这些研究反映了我们所有公民的身体/思想的多样性和复杂性。这种方法提供了一个机会，通过考虑到影响与身体相关的心理和行为过程的重叠的权力系统和歧视经验，周到地引导体育和运动背景下的研究。通过继续推进批判性学术研究，我们创造了机会，不仅仅是帮助个人重新构建与身体相关的负面思想和感受，而是要改变更广泛的社会文化压力和权力体系，这些压力和权力体系塑造了对“好”或“道德”身体的看法。
