“…in the organism (Balagué et al, 2020;2022). Therefore, the proposed proprioceptive assessment might be particularly helpful to avoid fragmented, oversimplified, passive and decontextualized proprioception measures capturing this property in a reasonably integrative and applied manner (Ager et al, 2017;Muñoz-Jiménez et al, 2021). In addition, it may provide sensitive information about the rapid, sub-conscious, and often imperceptible motor readjustments that, modulated by proprioception, operate in real exercise contexts (Hillier et al, 2015).…”

“…The proprioceptive tests used in clinical practice, based on conscious proprioception and decontextualized movements requiring reproduction or even verbalization of simple motions, are inappropriate to be applied in real settings (Ager et al, 2017;Muñoz-Jiménez et al, 2021). Unlike in clinical contexts, in daily activities, the sub-conscious proprioception is dominantly relevant (Hillier et al, 2015).…”

Assessing proprioception through time-variability properties of acceleration

Proprioception is a crucial property for movement stability and balance, but its current assessment, based on clinical testing, lacks precision and adequacy in real contexts. This study proposes assessing proprioception and its sensitivity to training effects through acceleration time series recorded during two slackline experiments. In the first experiment, slackliners of different expertise (highly and poorly trained) had to walk on a slackline for 30 s. In the second, twelve beginners had to balance up on the slackline for at least 11 s before and after a training process. Acceleration time series were recorded in body components (legs and centre of mass) and the slackline. The acceleration fluctuations were analysed through Detrended Fluctuation Analysis. The obtained Hurst (H)-exponents were compared between both groups (first experiment) and before and after training (second experiment) using Whitney and Wilcoxon tests, respectively. The values of H-exponents were lower in the highly trained group (Z = −2.15, p = 0.03) (first experiment), and in the post-training conditions (Z = −2.35, p = 0.02) (second experiment). These results suggest better motor and proprioceptive control with training status. Hence, the time-variability structure of acceleration in real contexts, like slackline tasks, is proposed as an objective measure of proprioception and its training effects.

“…The proprioceptive system comprises receptors in the muscles, tendons, and joints that send information to the brain about the position and movement of the body. This information is used by the brain to control posture and movement and maintain balance and equilibrium [1][2][3].…”

“…Some authors' questions have been raised about whether these traditional methods really succeed in examining higher-level proprioceptive ability as required in gymnastics [5]. Therefore, some global assessments have been proposed recently as imitation-based tests [3,6]. Despite all the questions raised recently around the way in which proprioception should be evaluated, a critical feature stands out, ecological validity [4].…”

Proprioception is an essential part of human movement and body awareness. It is the body's perception of its own spatial understanding, which helps us to accurately move our limbs and maintain balance. Purpose: This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and analyse bibliometric data about proprioception in gymnastics and acrobatics. Methodology: This article consisted of two phases: 1) a bibliometric review (based Web of Science) and 2) a systematic review (Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus) of literature. "Gymnast*", "propriocep*", were utilized as search terms to find and choose published data. From a total of 164 studies, 30 were included for data extraction (n participants= 1432 of different age, sports, physical activities, and physical condition. Heterogeneity of studies design and assessment make it difficult to interpret the outcomes and the effect of proprioceptive interventions and comparations between samples. Proprioception is difficult to define in gymnastics considering the evidence references and the physiological considerations. Also, assessment tools used do not necessary evaluate proprioception globally considering the senses involved in gymnastics. Gymnastics training enhances joint awareness and force sense, improving proprioception and reducing injury risk. Proprioceptive exercises should be incorporated into gymnastics programs to enhance stability and precision in movements.

“…Cruz et al [11] proposed that people usually experience negative effects when engaging in physical activity, but experience more positive effects after exercise. As stress causes physical and mental fatigue, people experiencing stress find it more difficult to engage in physical activity [12][13][14]. Consequently, people have reported reduced physical activity when they had to deal with stress [10].…”

Aims: Physical activity is an effective way for people to cope with stress. However, people often decrease their physical activity in response to stressors. Therefore, we aimed to understand the relationship between perceived stress and physical activity from an outcome expectancies perspective and investigated the moderating role of future orientation in this relationship. Methods: This study recruited 425 students who completed a three-wave survey at six-week intervals. A moderated mediation model was used to examine the mediating effects of outcome expectancies and the moderating effects of future orientation. Results: The results indicated that outcome expectancies mediated the relationship between perceived stress and physical activity. This relationship was moderated by future orientation. In particular, the mediating effects were significant for people with a high future orientation, but not for those with a low future orientation. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the adaptive function of future orientation in response to general stress. Importantly, the link between perceived stress and reduced physical activity could be mitigated by encouraging people to focus on future consequences. Future studies should consider developing intervention strategies that help those struggling with stressful contexts.
