Background

While exercise is a promising strategy for alleviating perinatal depressive symptoms, its clinical potential remains unrealized due to ambiguity in optimal modalities and dosages, hindering targeted clinical prescription and the design of effective interventions. This study aimed to identify the most effective exercise type and dosage for reducing perinatal depressive symptoms severity.

Methods

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating exercise for perinatal depressive symptoms were identified from four databases (from inception to November 2024). A comprehensive comparison of the effectiveness of various exercise modalities in alleviating perinatal depressive symptoms was conducted using a combination of network meta-analysis (NMA) and dose-response meta-analysis.

Results

A total of 46 RCTs involving 5719 participants were included. In the NMA, Pilates ranked highest for reducing perinatal depressive symptoms, showing a marked effect [SMD = −1.25, 95 % CrI: (−2.14, −0.364)]. Yoga, aerobic exercise, and flexibility training followed, also showing notable effects. The optimal dose for substantial benefits was identified as approximately 360 MET-min/week. This is practically equivalent to engaging in two 30-min sessions per week for a duration of 12 weeks.

Conclusions

Our findings conclude that exercise modalities like Pilates and yoga are highly effective for alleviating perinatal depressive symptoms when prescribed at an optimal dose of approximately 360 MET-min/week. This is practically achievable through two 30-min sessions weekly for 12 weeks. These findings provide clinicians with actionable, evidence-based guidance for prescribing exercise to this population. Future research should prioritize head-to-head trials comparing leading modalities, such as Pilates and yoga, to further refine therapeutic guidelines.

虽然运动是缓解围产期抑郁症状的一种有希望的策略，但由于最佳方式和剂量的不确定性，其临床潜力尚未实现，阻碍了有针对性的临床处方和有效干预措施的设计。本研究旨在确定最有效的运动类型和剂量，以减轻围产期抑郁症状的严重程度。方法从四个数据库（从建立到2024年11月）中筛选评估运动对围产期抑郁症状的随机对照试验（rct）。采用网络荟萃分析（NMA）和剂量反应荟萃分析相结合的方法，对不同运动方式缓解围产期抑郁症状的有效性进行了全面比较。结果共纳入46项随机对照试验，受试者5719人。在NMA中，普拉提在减少围产期抑郁症状方面排名最高，效果显著[SMD = - 1.25, 95% CrI:(- 2.14, - 0.364)]。瑜伽、有氧运动和柔韧性训练也显示出显著的效果。获得实质性益处的最佳剂量被确定为约360 MET-min/周。这实际上相当于每周进行两次30分钟的训练，持续12周。结论我们的研究结果表明，当处方的最佳剂量约为360 MET-min/周时，普拉提和瑜伽等运动方式对缓解围产期抑郁症状非常有效。这实际上是可以通过每周两次30分钟的锻炼来实现的，持续12周。这些发现为临床医生开具运动处方提供了可行的、基于证据的指导。未来的研究应该优先考虑比较主要方式的正面试验，如普拉提和瑜伽，以进一步完善治疗指南。

Objective

This study examines how subgroups and multigroup dynamics within professional soccer clubs influence the head coach's leadership effectiveness from a social identity perspective.

Design and method

In this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 professional head coaches from the top four German men's leagues and the top two women's leagues. Data were analyzed using qualitative structuring content analysis and iterative abductive coding, integrating both deductive and inductive approaches, grounded in critical realism.

Results

The findings reveal that head coaches in professional soccer clubs operate within three key subgroups: the player group, the staff group, and the management group. Head coaches play a bridging role, unifying these subgroups as their interactions can have both positive and negative effects on their leadership effectiveness. Positive leadership experiences were characterized by functional and effective relationships (alliances) with at least two and often all three subgroups. In contrast, functional alliances with just one subgroup, even if it was the player group, proved insufficient and led to negative leadership experiences over time. Positive leadership experiences depended on the head coach's ability to manage the social identity dynamics within and across subgroups, as negative dynamics in any subgroup could undermine overall leadership effectiveness. These findings have been synthesized into the Multigroup Model of Identity Leadership (Multi-IL) in professional team sports.

Conclusion

The findings highlight the importance of considering key subgroups and their interplay for effective identity leadership. Coaches and researchers should adopt a multigroup perspective to enhance leadership effectiveness and advance leadership research.

目的：本研究从社会认同的角度考察职业足球俱乐部内部的亚群体和多群体动态对主教练领导效能的影响。设计与方法：在本定性研究中，我们对来自德国四大男足联赛和两大女足联赛的30名职业主教练进行了半结构化访谈。数据分析采用定性结构、内容分析和迭代溯因编码，结合演绎和归纳方法，以批判现实主义为基础。结果：研究结果表明，职业足球俱乐部主教练在三个关键的子群体中运作：球员群体、工作人员群体和管理群体。总教练扮演着桥梁的角色，将这些小组统一起来，因为他们的互动对他们的领导效率既有积极的影响，也有消极的影响。积极的领导经验的特点是与至少两个，通常是三个子群体的有效关系（联盟）。相比之下，只有一个子群体的功能联盟，即使是玩家群体，也会被证明是不够的，并随着时间的推移导致消极的领导体验。积极的领导经验取决于主教练管理子群体内部和跨群体的社会认同动态的能力，因为任何子群体中的消极动态都可能破坏整体领导效率。这些发现被综合到职业团队运动中认同领导的多群体模型（Multi-IL）中。结论：研究结果强调了考虑关键子群体及其相互作用对有效认同领导的重要性。教练员和研究者应该采用多群体视角来提高领导效能，推进领导力研究。

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。

From social identity to team performance: Linking transactive memory systems and teamwork 从社会认同到团队绩效：关联交互记忆系统与团队合作。

Cultivating a shared team identity fosters individuals' sense of belonging and strengthens their connection to the team. Previous studies have demonstrated that having a shared team identity and strongly identified individuals within the group are associated with various positive outcomes. Among these positive outcomes, increasing evidence from the organizational field suggests that a shared identity may serve as a foundational mechanism in the emergence of transactive memory systems (TMS). TMS refers to shared cognitive structures that enable team members to encode, store, and retrieve information collectively. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between team identification and transactive memory systems, as well as to investigate their effects on teamwork behaviors and overall performance of sport teams in unique tournament settings. A 3-wave longitudinal research design was employed to examine these associations, involving 167 athletes across 15 teams. Structural equation modelling indicated a significant relationship between team identification and transactive memory systems in the pre-tournament phase. Furthermore, pre-tournament transactive memory systems predicted teamwork behaviors during the tournament, positively influencing overall team performance. Our exploratory findings underscore how the short duration and high-pressure nature of the tournament differentially shaped teams' adaptive responses. Specifically, only mid-ranking teams showed significant improvements in adjustment behaviours from pre-tournament to mid-tournament, whereas both lower- and higher-ranking teams exhibited non-significant change. Based on these findings, to optimize a team's performance in a time-limited context such as tournaments, sport psychologists and coaches are encouraged to cultivate a shared team identity through social identity focused workshops or identity leadership interventions, and social activities with a heightened sense of psychological safety (e.g. open discussions for role clarity), which can develop transactive memory systems and, in turn, enhance teamwork behaviors and overall team performance. Consequently, the present study aims to adopt a collective-cognitive approach to the link between social identity and team performance in a sporting context, and to shed light on how team functioning unfolds under time-constrained conditions.

培养共同的团队认同感可以培养个人的归属感，并加强他们与团队的联系。先前的研究表明，拥有共同的团队身份和团队中强烈认同的个人与各种积极的结果有关。在这些积极的结果中，越来越多来自组织领域的证据表明，共享身份可能是交互记忆系统（TMS）出现的基础机制。TMS指的是共享的认知结构，它使团队成员能够共同编码、存储和检索信息。本研究的主要目的是探讨团队认同与互动记忆系统之间的关系，以及它们对团队合作行为和运动团队在特定比赛环境中的整体表现的影响。采用三波纵向研究设计来检验这些关联，涉及15个队的167名运动员。结构方程模型表明，在赛前阶段，团队识别和交互记忆系统之间存在显著关系。此外，赛前互动记忆系统预测了比赛期间的团队行为，积极影响整体团队表现。我们的探索性发现强调了比赛的短时间和高压性质如何不同地塑造了球队的适应性反应。具体来说，只有排名中游的队伍在赛前到中期的调整行为上有显著的改善，而排名较低和较高的队伍都没有表现出显著的变化。基于这些发现，为了优化团队在比赛等有限时间内的表现，鼓励运动心理学家和教练通过以社会身份为重点的研讨会或身份领导干预，以及具有高度心理安全感的社会活动（例如公开讨论角色清晰度）来培养共享的团队身份，这可以发展互动记忆系统，进而提高团队行为和整体团队绩效。因此，本研究旨在采用集体认知的方法来研究体育背景下的社会认同和团队表现之间的联系，并揭示团队功能在时间限制条件下是如何展开的。

Objectives

To better understand the concept of mental rest in professional athletes. Mental rest appears to be important for recovery and movement skill learning, yet there is limited understanding of this concept in the professional athlete context.

Design

A qualitative description study design was employed.

Method

Sixteen NFL athletes were interviewed about what mental rest means to them. A codebook thematic analysis was undertaken to examine the analytical generalizability to the professional athlete context of an extant model of mental rest proposed based on a study of college athletes (Eccles & Kazmier, 2019).

Results

The Eccles and Kazmier model offers considerable analytical generalizability to the professional athlete context. Consistent with the model, the process of resting mentally in professional athletes includes (a) sleep and (b) resting while awake, involving multiple resting experiences including a break from thinking about one's sport. Departures from the model were also observed. For example, in the original model, to achieve a break from thinking about one's sport, college athletes spent time on a rest day in public locations (e.g., restaurants) within which there were few cues to think about their sport (e.g., no teammates). In contrast, for recognizable professional athletes studied here, public locations often offered no escape from these cues due to uninvited questions from the public about their sport.

Conclusion

The findings advance understanding of the constituents of mental rest in professional athletes and inform education about how athletes can obtain the mental rest needed to perform effectively and stay healthy.

目的：更好地理解职业运动员心理休息的概念。精神休息似乎对恢复和运动技能学习很重要，但在专业运动员的背景下，对这一概念的理解有限。设计：采用定性描述研究设计。方法：对16名NFL运动员进行访谈，了解精神休息对他们的意义。进行了一项密码本主题分析，以检验基于对大学运动员的研究提出的现有精神休息模型在专业运动员背景下的分析普遍性（Eccles & Kazmier, 2019）。结果：Eccles和Kazmier模型对职业运动员情境提供了相当大的分析泛化性。与该模型一致，专业运动员的精神休息过程包括(a)睡眠和(b)清醒时休息，涉及多种休息体验，包括从思考运动中休息。也观察到偏离模型的现象。例如，在最初的模型中，为了从思考自己的运动中获得休息，大学运动员在休息日花时间在公共场所（例如，餐馆），在那里几乎没有线索来思考他们的运动（例如，没有队友）。相比之下，对于这里研究的知名职业运动员来说，由于公众不请自来的关于他们运动的问题，公共场所往往无法逃避这些暗示。结论：研究结果促进了对职业运动员心理休息成分的理解，并为运动员如何获得有效发挥和保持健康所需的心理休息提供了教育。

Early childhood is a critical period for brain development, particularly in self-regulation (SR), which is essential for pre-academic success and socio-emotional competence. Recent studies highlight the role of 24-h movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep) in SR. However, the relationship between the composition of these behaviors and SR remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association between the composition of 24-h movement behaviors and cognitive and behavioral SR in preschoolers; and to investigate predicted changes in SR when time in different behaviors is reallocated. The sample comprised 223 preschoolers (4–5 years-old) enrolled in public early childhood education centers in Petrolina, Brazil. Movement behaviors were assessed using accelerometry, sleep was evaluated by parent report, and cognitive and behavioral SR were measured using the Early Years Toolbox and the Head, Toes, Knees, Shoulders–Revised test, respectively. Compositional and isotemporal data analysis were used to examine the relationships between movement behaviors and SR, and time reallocations, respectively. The 24-h movement behaviors composition predicted 6 % of the variance in visuo-spatial working memory and cognitive flexibility; and 13 % in behavioral SR. Reallocating 5, 10 or 15 min from sleep and moderate-to-vigorous PA to light PA or SB was positively associated with behavioral SR, though no association has been seen on cognitive SR. These findings suggest a possible positive mechanism linking low-intense activities with children's behavioural SR, that should be further explored in longitudinal and interventional designs aimed at optimizing SR in early childhood.

幼儿期是大脑发育的关键时期，尤其是自我调节（SR），这对学业前的成功和社会情感能力至关重要。最近的研究强调了24小时运动行为（即体力活动（PA）、久坐行为（SB）和睡眠）在SR中的作用，但这些行为的构成与SR之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究旨在分析学龄前儿童24小时运动行为构成与认知行为SR的关系；并研究重新分配不同行为的时间时SR的预测变化。样本包括223名在巴西Petrolina公立幼儿教育中心注册的学龄前儿童（4-5岁）。运动行为采用加速度计评估，睡眠由家长报告评估，认知和行为SR分别采用早期工具箱和头，脚趾，膝盖，肩膀-修订测试进行测量。采用成分数据分析和等时数据分析分别考察了运动行为与SR和时间重新分配之间的关系。24小时运动行为构成预测了6%的视觉空间工作记忆和认知灵活性变异；将5、10或15分钟的睡眠时间和中高强度的日常活动重新分配给轻度的日常活动或日常活动与儿童的行为SR呈正相关，尽管在认知SR上没有发现关联。这些发现表明，低强度活动与儿童的行为SR之间可能存在积极的联系机制，应该在纵向和干预设计中进一步探索，旨在优化儿童早期的SR。

The aims of this study were to investigate the short and long-term effects of a physical activity intervention on basic psychological needs (BPN); and to examine whether autonomy, competence, and relatedness mediated the relationship between the intervention and depressive symptoms in adults. A 16-week randomized controlled trial was conducted, combining online and in-person activities. The intervention involved two weekly sessions, each lasting 90 min, comprising theoretical (44 %) and practical (56 %) components designed to promote physical activity (PA). Each session employed strategies aimed at satisfying BPN (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) to support behavior change. BPN and depressive symptoms were assessed using validated questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 6-month follow-up. Generalized estimating equations were applied for both per-protocol (PP) and intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses, while structural equation modeling was conducted using ITT data only. A total of 78 individuals participated, equally allocated to either an intervention group (IG) or a control group (CG), with comparable distributions of sex, age, and severity of depressive symptoms at baseline. Significant group-by-time interactions were observed for autonomy (η²p = 0.031; p = 0.086), competence (η²p = 0.047; p = 0.100), and relatedness (η²p = 0.099; p = 0.017) in the PP analysis, favoring the IG, particularly at post-intervention. Additionally, ITT analysis revealed that both the overall needs score and the autonomy, competence, and relatedness subscales mediated the relationship between the treatment and depressive symptoms, considering the difference between post-intervention and baseline values. Although the intervention did not significantly improve BPN in the ITT analysis, these needs functioned as mediators, contributing to the reduction of depressive symptoms in adults with elevated symptomatology.

本研究的目的是探讨体育活动干预对基本心理需求（BPN）的短期和长期影响；并检验自主性、能力和相关性是否介导干预与成人抑郁症状之间的关系。进行了一项为期16周的随机对照试验，结合了在线和面对面的活动。干预包括每周两次，每次持续90分钟，包括旨在促进身体活动（PA）的理论（44%）和实践（56%）部分。每次会议都采用旨在满足BPN（自主性、能力和相关性）的策略来支持行为改变。在基线、干预后和6个月的随访中，使用有效的问卷对BPN和抑郁症状进行评估。每个方案（PP）和意向治疗（ITT）分析均采用广义估计方程，而结构方程模型仅使用ITT数据进行。共有78人参与，平均分配到干预组（IG）或对照组（CG），在性别、年龄和基线抑郁症状严重程度上具有可比性分布。在PP分析中，在自主性（η2p = 0.031; p = 0.086）、能力（η2p = 0.047; p = 0.100）和亲缘性（η2p = 0.099; p = 0.017）方面观察到显著的群体时间交互作用，有利于IG，特别是在干预后。此外，ITT分析显示，考虑到干预后与基线值之间的差异，总体需求评分和自主性、能力和相关性分量表都介导了治疗与抑郁症状之间的关系。虽然在ITT分析中，干预并没有显著改善BPN，但这些需求起到了中介作用，有助于减轻症状升高的成年人的抑郁症状。试验注册：巴西临床试验注册中心（ReBEC）： RBR-7466htj， 20123年4月。回顾注册。

Identity is among the most robust psychological constructs for predicting whether individuals translate physical activity (PA) intentions into action. However, existing identity measures in the PA domain focus narrowly on exercise and largely adopt limited unidimensional conceptualizations. This study aimed to develop and validate the Multidimensional Inventory of Physical Activity Identity (MIPAI-25), a novel instrument grounded in a multidimensional, theoretically integrated framework. Across two samples of university students (Study 1: n = 580, 61.6 % women; Study 2: n = 619, 66.4 % women), we used classical test theory, Mokken scale analysis, and item response theory to construct and refine the content relevancy of the items for each scale. In Study 1, the final 25-item instrument captures five distinct dimensions of PA identity: Acknowledgment, Compatibility, Centrality, Commitment, and Exploration. Each subscale score demonstrated strong internal consistency, unidimensionality, and measurement invariance across gender groups. In Study 2, all five dimensions were positively associated with moderate-to-vigorous PA behavior and PA-related constructs from the Multi-Process Action Control framework, with the strongest associations observed for habit and behavioral regulation – key post-intentional processes that facilitate action control. The MIPAI-25 offers a more ecologically valid and dynamic representation of PA identity, extending beyond exercise-specific and unidimensional measures. Findings support its use as both a comprehensive tool and a set of five stand-alone subscales, depending on research or practical needs. Future longitudinal studies are needed to explore how these identity dimensions evolve across life transitions and to inform more targeted, identity-based interventions for promoting sustained physical activity.

身份是预测个体是否将体育活动（PA）意图转化为行动的最强大的心理结构之一。然而，现有的PA领域的身份测量只局限于运动，并且很大程度上采用了有限的一维概念。本研究旨在开发和验证多维身体活动认同量表（MIPAI-25），这是一种基于多维理论整合框架的新工具。在两个大学生样本中（研究1:n = 580，女性占61.6%；研究2:n = 619，女性占66.4%），我们使用经典测试理论、Mokken量表分析和项目反应理论来构建和完善每个量表项目的内容相关性。在研究1中，最后的25项工具捕获了个人助理身份的五个不同维度：承认、兼容性、中心性、承诺和探索。每个子量表得分在性别群体中表现出很强的内部一致性、单维性和测量不变性。在研究2中，所有五个维度都与中度至重度PA行为和多过程行动控制框架中的PA相关构念呈正相关，其中习惯和行为调节（促进行动控制的关键后意向过程）的关联最强。MIPAI-25提供了一种更生态有效和动态的PA身份表征，超越了特定运动和单向度的测量。根据研究或实际需要，研究结果支持将其作为一种综合工具和一套五个独立的子量表。未来的纵向研究需要探索这些身份维度如何在生活转变中演变，并为更有针对性的、基于身份的干预措施提供信息，以促进持续的身体活动。
