Artificial Intelligence (AI), defined as computational systems capable of executing tasks requiring human-like intelligence, such as reasoning, planning, learning, perception, and interaction, represents a transformative paradigm within sport psychology.

Machine Learning, a key subdomain of AI that enables pattern recognition and predictive modeling from data, has demonstrated significant efficacy in performance prediction and talent identification across different sports, as evidenced by Baker et al. (2025) in their review.

However, the implementation of these technologies faces significant hurdles, critically concerning data availability, quality, ownership, and the inherent challenges of labeling for supervised learning. Longitudinal studies are further complicated by missing data and dataset imbalance, particularly concerning outcomes such as the rare development of talent into top-tier athletes, which can lead to biased models with poor generalizability. Standardized development frameworks, such as the Software Development Life Cycle, are advocated to mitigate these risks. Future directions emphasize human-machine interaction, such as conversational AI for decision support and digital twins for athlete modeling. Nevertheless, psychological and subjective factors, like coach judgment, athlete attitudes are critical yet currently underrepresented. AI will be playing a crucial role in enhancing communication between domain experts (coaches, scouts) and complex "black-box" systems, building trust for collaborative talent development. Future advancements should prioritize the integration of psychological constructs through idiosyncratic and idiographic approaches, while exploring deep learning for safeguarding applications.

人工智能（AI）被定义为能够执行需要类似人类智能的任务的计算系统，如推理、规划、学习、感知和互动，代表了运动心理学中的变革范式。机器学习是人工智能的一个关键子领域，它可以从数据中实现模式识别和预测建模，在不同运动项目的表现预测和人才识别方面显示出显著的功效，Baker等人（2025）在他们的综述中证明了这一点。然而，这些技术的实施面临着重大障碍，主要涉及数据可用性、质量、所有权和监督学习标签的固有挑战。由于数据缺失和数据不平衡，纵向研究变得更加复杂，特别是关于人才成为顶级运动员的罕见发展等结果，这可能导致有偏见的模型泛化能力差。提倡标准化的开发框架，例如软件开发生命周期，以减轻这些风险。未来的方向强调人机交互，例如用于决策支持的会话AI和用于运动员建模的数字双胞胎。然而，心理和主观因素，如教练的判断，运动员的态度是至关重要的，但目前尚未得到充分体现。人工智能将在加强领域专家（教练、球探）和复杂的“黑匣子”系统之间的沟通、为协作人才发展建立信任方面发挥关键作用。未来的进展应优先考虑通过特质和具体方法整合心理构念，同时探索深度学习以保护应用。

Current research on psychological flexibility (PF) in sport has largely relied on cross-sectional assessments or limited follow-up, which overlooks the inherently dynamic nature of the competitive athletic season. Furthermore, the relationship between PF and optimal mental states associated with enhanced athletic performance, primarily flow and clutch states, remain relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to longitudinally assess the six processes of psychological flexibility and flow and clutch states across a competitive season. Collegiate soccer players (n = 173) completed online pre-game psychological flexibility and post-game optimal mental states assessments for pre-season, non-conference, conference, and post-season games. Aside from values, the remaining five processes remained stable across the season, providing further support that processes should be specifically targeted via psychological interventions to see improvement. Furthermore, values were a significant predictor of flow states in non-conference games (R²_Adj. = .30), while cognitive defusion significantly predicted clutch states in conference games (R²_Adj. = .67). The remaining processes did not account for a significant amount of variance in flow or clutch states, suggesting that unidimensional psychological flexibility may not be directly related to improving optimal mental states. Practical implications relate to the importance of multidimensional assessment of psychological flexibility, consideration of the relative stability in psychological flexibility, and the finding that psychological flexibility did not directly relate to optimal mental states in the present study.

目前对体育运动中心理灵活性（PF）的研究在很大程度上依赖于横断面评估或有限的随访，忽视了竞技运动季节内在的动态性。此外，PF与提高运动表现的最佳心理状态（主要是心流状态和关键时刻状态）之间的关系仍然相对未被探索。因此，本研究旨在纵向评估跨赛季的心理灵活性、流动状态和离合状态的六个过程。大学足球运动员（n = 173）完成了季前赛、非季前赛、季前赛和季后赛的赛前心理灵活性和赛后最佳心理状态在线评估。除了价值之外，其余五个过程在整个季节保持稳定，这进一步支持了应该通过心理干预来明确目标的过程，以看到改善。此外，数值也是非会议游戏中心流状态的重要预测因子。= 0.30)，而认知融合显著预测了联盟比赛的关键状态(R2Adj。=正)。其余的过程并不能解释流动状态或离合状态的显著差异，这表明单维心理灵活性可能与改善最佳心理状态没有直接关系。本研究的实际意义涉及心理灵活性多维度评估的重要性、对心理灵活性相对稳定性的考虑以及心理灵活性与最佳心理状态没有直接关系的发现。

In recognition of the 25th anniversary of Psychology of Sport and Exercise (PSE), Johnson (2025) provided an insightful overview of decision making in sports, detailing the foundations of this research in psychology and then outlining the growth of decision making research in sport psychology. The review highlighted the tremendous progression of this research area, outlining several theoretical approaches that have been proposed, and providing future directions that will continue to progress the area in the next 25 years. It is the latter which we have chosen to delve in to further in this commentary. Specifically, we contend that the key for advancing this area of research is the use of real-world data and representative study designs to further our understanding of the interactive and context-specific nature of decision making in sport. This will have implications for performance and training in sport, as well as wider implications for our understanding of how humans interact with the world. We provide a brief overview of the key points we took from the review by Johnson (2025) and build on each of these to highlight future directions for research that could provide unique insights into decision making in sport.

为了纪念运动与运动心理学（PSE）成立25周年，Johnson（2025）对运动中的决策进行了深刻的概述，详细介绍了这项心理学研究的基础，然后概述了运动心理学中决策研究的发展。这篇综述强调了这一研究领域的巨大进展，概述了已经提出的几种理论方法，并提供了未来25年将继续推动该领域发展的方向。在这篇评论中，我们选择深入探讨的正是后者。具体来说，我们认为推进这一研究领域的关键是使用真实世界的数据和代表性的研究设计，以进一步理解体育决策的交互性和情境特异性。这将对运动中的表现和训练产生影响，并对我们理解人类如何与世界互动产生更广泛的影响。我们将简要概述我们从Johnson（2025）的评论中得出的关键点，并在每个关键点的基础上强调未来的研究方向，这些方向可以为体育决策提供独特的见解。

Karate is one of the most popular martial arts. This study investigates the cognitive profiles of top-level Para Karate athletes with intellectual disability (ID), aiming to assess the extent to which cognitive abilities are related to athletic performance. Cognitive and executive functions, including decision-making, processing speed, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control, are critical in high-level sports but are often understudied in athletes with ID. We conducted cognitive assessments and executive function tests on a cohort of elite Para Karate athletes (n = 42) aged 27.0 (±6.5) years competing in two separate classes. The K21 class (n = 21) is the traditional class for athletes diagnosed with ID and the K22 (n = 23) is a class for ID-athletes with a significant additional impairment such as a genetic syndrome (e.g., Down syndrome) or functional limitation (e.g., reduced joint mobility). The MANOVA revealed that K21 Para Karate athletes perform significantly better than K22 athletes in the areas related to cognitive processing speed (i.e., simple reaction time), visuospatial processing (block design) and inductive reasoning (matrix reasoning task) with large effect sizes. No significant differences between the classes were found for the executive function measures working memory and inhibitory control. The kata-performance during competition was judged by a panel of seven referees. K21 athletes performed better than K22 athletes and a significant correlation was apparent between kata-performance and one parameter of executive function (i.e., inhibitory control). These results highlight the relation between cognitive development and martial arts performance and provide insights for future studies related to the development of sport-specific classification for athletes with ID. More sophisticated measures are necessary to assess the key determinants of kata performance.

空手道是最流行的武术之一。本研究调查了智力残疾的顶级Para空手道运动员的认知特征，旨在评估认知能力与运动成绩的关系程度。认知和执行功能，包括决策、处理速度、工作记忆、认知灵活性和抑制控制，在高水平运动中是至关重要的，但在ID运动员中往往没有得到充分的研究。我们对一组年龄27.0（±6.5）岁的优秀Para空手道运动员（n = 42）进行了认知评估和执行功能测试。K21类别（n = 21）是诊断为ID的运动员的传统类别，K22类别（n = 23）是患有明显额外损伤的ID运动员的类别，如遗传综合征（如唐氏综合征）或功能限制（如关节活动能力降低）。方差分析结果显示，K21 Para空手道运动员在认知加工速度（即简单反应时间）、视觉空间加工（块设计）和归纳推理（矩阵推理任务）相关领域的表现显著优于K22运动员，且效应量较大。在执行功能测量、工作记忆和抑制控制方面，班级间无显著差异。比赛期间的花式表演由七名裁判组成的小组进行评判。K21运动员的表现优于K22运动员，K21运动员的表现与执行功能的一个参数（即抑制控制）之间存在显著相关。这些结果突出了认知发展与武术表现之间的关系，并为ID运动员专项分类发展的相关研究提供了见解。更复杂的措施是必要的，以评估关键决定因素的型表现。

In fast-paced competitive sports, effective performance depends on the ability to anticipate opponents’ movements across multiple outcome dimensions, such as spin and direction. Although motor experience enhances action anticipation, the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying efficient anticipation of different outcome dimensions by experts remain unclear. In this study, 23 table tennis players and 31 controls completed a serve anticipation task involving spin and direction judgments. By combining behavioral measures with hierarchical drift diffusion modeling (HDDM) and multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) of electroencephalography (EEG), we examined the decision dynamics and neural representations underlying these anticipatory processes. Results revealed that spin and direction judgments engage dissociable cognitive and neural pathways. Athletes showed greater processing efficiency, reflected in faster evidence accumulation and enhanced strategic flexibility. MVPA further revealed dimension-specific spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity, with athletes exhibiting earlier decoding during the perceptual stages, and stronger and more stable top-down integration during the later stages. Our findings highlight how motor experience enhances dimension-specific information extraction and adaptive decision strategies, offering new insights into the neural basis of action prediction and the optimization of high-level athletic performance.

在快节奏的竞技运动中，有效的表现取决于在多个结果维度上预测对手动作的能力，比如旋转和方向。虽然运动经验增强了动作预期，但专家们对不同结果维度的有效预期的认知和神经机制尚不清楚。在这项研究中，23名乒乓球运动员和31名对照组完成了一项涉及旋转和方向判断的发球预期任务。通过结合行为测量、层次漂移扩散模型（HDDM）和事件相关电位（ERP）的多变量模式分析（MVPA），我们研究了这些预期过程背后的决策动力学和神经表征。结果显示，旋转和方向判断涉及可分离的认知和神经通路。专家们表现出更高的处理效率，反映在更快的证据积累和增强的战略灵活性上。MVPA进一步揭示了特定维度的神经活动时空模式，专家在感知阶段表现出更早的解码，在后期阶段表现出更强、更稳定的自上而下整合。我们的研究结果强调了运动体验如何增强特定维度的信息提取和自适应决策策略，为动作预测和高水平运动表现优化的神经基础提供了新的见解。

We provide a brief commentary to accompany Eys and Beauchamp's (2025) work, (Re)conceptualizing cohesion: A theoretical realignment and roadmap for future research. We emphasize and extend the conceptual advances offered in the paper around four focal areas: the revised definition of cohesion (Propositions 1–2), the repositioning of individual attractions within a social identity framework (Proposition 3), the roles of task and outcome interdependence (Propositions 4, 5, 7) and teamwork processes (Proposition 6). Building on these propositions, we contribute to their conversation on theoretical refinement and methodological rigor. Specifically, we highlight cohesion theory can be further strengthened with dedicated research on social cohesion and more precisely placing (group) goals within cohesion theory. As mentioned by the authors, there is a need to conduct targeted studies in individual-sport contexts and utilize multilevel modeling to capture nested team dynamics in any group setting. We further consider that framing interdependence as a subjective, dynamic state offers novel insights into its relationship with cohesion. To enhance knowledge about cohesion and teamwork, we suggest measuring observable teamwork behaviors in combination with survey-based methods. We offer this commentary to enrich the paper's conceptual foundation and support the evolution of cohesion research in the coming 40 years.

我们为Eys和Beauchamp（2025）的作品《（重新）概念化凝聚力：未来研究的理论调整和路线图》提供了一个简短的评论。我们强调并扩展了论文中围绕四个重点领域提供的概念进展：凝聚力的修订定义（提案1-2），在社会身份框架内重新定位个人吸引力（提案3），任务和结果相互依赖的作用（提案4,5,7）和团队合作过程（提案6）。在这些命题的基础上，我们为他们关于理论精细化和方法严谨性的对话做出了贡献。具体来说，我们强调凝聚力理论可以通过对社会凝聚力的专门研究和更精确地将（群体）目标置于凝聚力理论中进一步加强。正如作者所提到的，有必要在个人运动背景下进行有针对性的研究，并利用多层次模型来捕捉任何群体环境下嵌套的团队动态。我们进一步认为，将相互依存作为一种主观的、动态的状态，为其与凝聚力的关系提供了新的见解。为了提高对凝聚力和团队合作的认识，我们建议结合基于调查的方法来测量可观察到的团队合作行为。我们提供这篇评论是为了丰富论文的概念基础，并支持未来40年衔接研究的发展。

This commentary responds to Simpson et al.’s (2025) call to broaden health behavior change (BC) research in physical activity (PA) beyond WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, Democratic) paradigms. Drawing from narrative, discursive, and postqualitative traditions, we reflect on the conceptual and historical meanings of “WEIRD” and explore its limitations. We propose three transgressive directions for future BC and PA research: humility, reflexivity, and attention to wyrd ways of life. These reflections invite researchers to move beyond the ‘same old’ assumptions and consider culturally situated, relational, and decolonizing approaches that rethink both our conceptions of BC and PA and what our research of them can mean, do, and become.

这篇评论回应了Simpson等人（2025）的呼吁，即在体育活动（PA）中扩大健康行为改变（BC）研究，超越WEIRD（西方、受过教育、工业化、富裕、民主）范式。从叙事、话语和后定性的传统中，我们反思了“怪异”的概念和历史意义，并探讨了它的局限性。我们提出了未来BC和PA研究的三个突破方向：谦卑，反身性和关注生活方式。这些反思邀请研究人员超越“相同的旧”假设，并考虑文化定位，关系和非殖民化的方法，重新思考我们对BC和PA的概念，以及我们对它们的研究可以意味着什么，做什么和成为什么。

Despite increasing awareness and reports of wrongdoing in sports such as professional football there remains a lack of safeguarding education targeted at adults to address this behavior. Thus, there is a need to develop safeguarding education programs based on the experiential knowledge of adults in football. The present study explored knowledge users' recommendations, as a means to co-produce a safeguarding education program to address maltreatment in football. Guided by a social constructivist approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 safeguarding and welfare personnel (nine who identified as females and ten as males) who work within British clubs and organizations ranging from English Premier League (EPL) through to the English Northern Premier League Division One. The participants’ roles ranged from Chief Executive Officer; Vice Chairman; General Counsel; Club Development Officer; Head of Safeguarding; Designated Safeguarding Officer; Safeguarding Case Officer; Academy Safeguarding Manager; Head of Education and Welfare; Player Care and Welfare Officer; Head of Education and Player Care, and Coach. Through a reflexive thematic analysis, knowledge users discussed shaping safeguarding education in professional football, and the best way to deliver safeguarding education. Knowledge users highlighted the need for safeguarding programs to be designed and delivered at individual, club, and systemic levels to be effective. Furthermore, these programs need to be underpinned by a cultural intervention to safeguarding education in professional football. From a research perspective, the present findings emphasize the value of collaborating with underrepresented groups to create meaningful change in safeguarding in sport. Lastly, the present study provides the foundation for future research to evaluate the effectiveness of a safeguarding education program in football in practice.

尽管越来越多的人意识到并报道了职业足球等体育运动中的不法行为，但仍然缺乏针对成年人的安全教育来解决这种行为。因此，有必要开发基于成人足球经验知识的保障教育项目。本研究探讨了知识用户的建议，作为一种手段，共同制定一个保障教育计划，以解决足球中的虐待问题。在社会建构主义方法的指导下，对19名保障和福利人员（9名女性，10名男性）进行了半结构化访谈，他们在英国俱乐部和组织中工作，范围从英超联赛（EPL）到英格兰北部超级联赛甲级联赛。参与者的角色从首席执行官；副主席;总法律顾问;社发展主任；保障主管；指定保障主任；保障案件主任；学院保障经理；教育及福利处处长；球员关怀及福利主任；教育和球员关怀主管，以及教练。知识使用者通过反思性的专题分析，探讨了职业足球保障教育的塑造，以及保障教育的最佳实施方式。知识使用者强调需要在个人、俱乐部和系统层面设计和提供有效的保障计划。此外，这些项目需要以文化干预为基础，以保障职业足球教育。从研究的角度来看，目前的研究结果强调了与代表性不足的群体合作的价值，以在体育保障方面创造有意义的变化。最后，本研究为未来足球保障教育项目在实践中的有效性评估研究提供了基础。

Sport injuries are not merely disruptions to performance; they are health events that, like chronic diseases, involve behavioral risk factors and significant psychological consequences. Despite extensive research on the psychology of sport injury, dominant models have yet to fully integrate theoretical frameworks from health psychology and clinical psychology. In this commentary, we argue that reconceptualizing sport injuries as health issues comparable to conditions like cardiovascular diseases or diabetes allows us to leverage well-established behavioral and clinical models to enhance prevention, rehabilitation, and psychological care. First, socio-cognitive theories of health behavior provide robust frameworks for understanding and modifying behaviors that reduce injury risk and improve rehabilitation adherence. Second, transdiagnostic models of psychopathology offer a more precise understanding of the emotional responses to injury, accounting for the shared psychological mechanisms that underlie a broad range of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and trauma-related distress. By positioning sport injuries within the broader domain of health psychology, researchers and practitioners can better explain, predict, and intervene in the behavioral and psychological dimensions of injury.

运动损伤不仅仅是对运动表现的干扰；它们是健康事件，与慢性病一样，涉及行为风险因素和严重的心理后果。尽管对运动损伤心理学进行了广泛的研究，但主流模型尚未充分整合健康心理学和临床心理学的理论框架。在这篇评论中，我们认为，将运动损伤重新定义为与心血管疾病或糖尿病等疾病类似的健康问题，使我们能够利用成熟的行为和临床模型来加强预防、康复和心理护理。首先，健康行为的社会认知理论为理解和修改减少伤害风险和提高康复依从性的行为提供了强有力的框架。其次，精神病理学的跨诊断模型提供了对伤害的情绪反应的更精确的理解，说明了广泛症状（如焦虑、抑郁和创伤相关痛苦）背后的共同心理机制。通过将运动损伤置于更广泛的健康心理学领域，研究人员和从业人员可以更好地解释、预测和干预损伤的行为和心理层面。

The social identity approach to leadership argues that leaders' effectiveness rests on their success in creating, representing, advancing, and embedding a sense of shared identity among group members. However, it does not specify precisely how they can achieve this (i.e., through what behaviours). This gap extends to the exercise context, where research has shown that exercisers participate more frequently to the extent they perceive their leaders engage in identity leadership, yet little guidance exists regarding the specific behaviours that exercise leaders can use to demonstrate this leadership style. We aimed to address this through two studies. In Study 1, we used the Delphi method to identify behaviours that identity leadership experts (primarily from Europe, Australia, and North America and defined as researchers with at least one peer-reviewed identity leadership publication; N = 15) believed exercise class leaders could engage in to demonstrate their identity leadership and foster exercisers' future class attendance. Experts reached consensus on 16 behaviours that characterised identity leadership, and tended to perceive these behaviours would help foster exercisers’ future class attendance. In Study 2, we recruited 150 exercise class attendees from the United Kingdom. These participants rated the extent to which the behaviours derived in Study 1 would increase their likelihood of attending future classes and achieve the theoretical goals specified by identity leadership theory. All mean ratings were above the mid-point on the rating scales for both questions, suggesting we had identified a pool of identity leadership behaviours with potential applied benefit. Identity leadership behaviours rated particularly positively by exercisers included leaders modelling and demonstrating exercisers, following established rules and standards, and providing different forms of social support. Findings advance theoretical understanding, strengthen the foundation for further tests of identity leadership theory, and provide new insights into how its applied benefits could be unlocked.

研究领导力的社会认同方法认为，领导者的有效性取决于他们能否成功地在群体成员中创造、代表、推进和嵌入一种共同的认同感。然而，它没有精确地指定他们如何实现这一点（即，通过什么行为）。这一差距也延伸到了锻炼的背景下，研究表明，锻炼者参与的频率更高，他们认为他们的领导者从事身份领导，但很少有关于锻炼领导者可以用来展示这种领导风格的具体行为的指导。我们的目标是通过两项研究来解决这个问题。在研究1中，我们使用德尔菲法来确定身份领导专家（主要来自欧洲、澳大利亚和北美，定义为至少有一篇同行评审的身份领导出版物的研究人员；N = 15）认为运动班领导可以参与的行为，以展示他们的身份领导并促进锻锻者未来的课堂出勤率。专家们就身份领导的16种特征行为达成了共识，并倾向于认为这些行为有助于促进锻炼者未来的上课出勤率。在研究2中，我们从英国招募了150名运动班的参与者。这些参与者评估了研究1中衍生的行为在多大程度上增加了他们参加未来课程的可能性，并实现了认同领导理论规定的理论目标。两个问题的平均评分都在中点以上，这表明我们已经确定了一组具有潜在应用效益的身份领导行为。被锻炼者评价特别积极的身份领导行为包括领导者模仿和示范锻炼者，遵循既定的规则和标准，以及提供不同形式的社会支持。研究结果促进了理论理解，加强了身份领导理论进一步测试的基础，并为如何释放其应用效益提供了新的见解。
