Even though athletes are human beings whose physical, mental, and social health is reflected in their well-being and ill-being. As a result, athletes' holistic health is an important part of their identity as athletes and people. Humans' participation in sports can either help or hinder their well-being development. Therefore, the proposed framework of this article is to review; (i) well-being and quality of life; (ii) the impact of good health on athletes' well-being and (iii) Athlete's state of mind during a performance (vii) Mental health and sports performance (viii). Data was taken from a variety of journals that have been published in peer-reviewed journal articles, but only English-language studies that had been published between 2015 and 2022 were taken into consideration for this study. Researchers used the following keywords to source for the information related to the studies. Although there were several papers on the issue, only a small number of text pieces were included for this review. To summarize, the studies indicated that coaches, trainers, teachers, and sports psychology ensure that athletes are in good health and well-being for them to be able to carry out their roles and functions. There will be no excellent performance or achievement if one is not in a good mental state. We must promote self-care, personal health, personal growth, and stress management techniques to provide every athlete with good health and well-being for them to maintain a stable state of mind. It is recommended for researchers to investigate the etiology of mental illness among athletes.
Every athlete's path includes visualization as a tool for improving performance and developing plans to achieve their goals. Visualization assists individuals in visualizing how they wish to perform in their chosen sporting event. Every athlete believes and understands that visualization is what they require to achieve their goals. In this review paper, researchers examine both quantitative and qualitative research methods to describe the power of visualization; why it is important for every athlete; visualization methods used by athletes; the effects of visualization on athletic performance; and visualization techniques in sports. A literature review was conducted on several published peer-reviewed journal articles, but only articles from 2015–2022 and those written in the English language were considered for inclusion in this study. Researchers made use of search engine like Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, ProQuest, PLoS One, Cochrane Library, and Microsoft Academic databases for information. Several articles were related to the subject, but only a few text articles were used for this review. In conclusion, the reviewed articles demonstrated that what coaches, trainers, physical educators, and sports teachers need to do is provide more assistance to help our athletes build more effectiveness in visualization to improve their sporting performance, which will serve as a fantastic tool that they may utilize to establish the mentality needed to attain long-term and short-term goals and teach younger athletes visualization, it's important to do it in a way that's easily accessible and fun for them.
A woman's physical activity may change during pregnancy, a life-changing event. Working individuals, middle-aged adults, pregnant women, and seniors all have greater health and wellbeing when they participate in leisure activities. Improvements in physiological, metabolic, and psychological factors as well as a lower risk of illness and death are linked. According to current recommendations, both pregnant and non pregnant people should exercise moderately every day for at least 30 minutes. To pave the way for appropriate and sufficient physical activities that best suit pregnant women's conditions, the goal of this review was to examine the adequate physical activities for pregnant women, pregnant women's exercise ideas, barriers to physical activity, suggestions for overcoming physical activity barriers, and benefits associated with physical activities for pregnant women. The most current studies on the barriers pregnant women face while engaging in physical activity and the associated advantages they can provide will be discussed. Data was taken from a variety of literature reviews that have been published in peer-reviewed journal articles, but only English-language studies that had been published between 2015 and 2022 were taken into consideration for this study. For information, researchers used the databases of Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, ProQuest, PLoS One, Cochrane Library, JSTOR, Microsoft Academic, and Pubmed. Although there were several papers on the issue, only a small number of text pieces were included for this review. According to the reviewed articles, the studies pointed to the fact that exercise and recreation in the second and third trimesters lower the risk of caesarean birth. Thus, improved strategies to engage pregnant women in physical activities would be welcome.
