“…The training program formulated by the coaches under the guidance of this kind of thinking is likely to be infeasible. 13 The adaptability of the human body to the training process is also limited. Too much practice can sometimes even lead to sports injuries and chronic fatigue.…”

Introduction: Endurance and speed are fundamental to swimming. It is also essential for athletes to use the correct practice method during training to improve swimmers’ level of strength, endurance, and speed. Standardized swimming exercises can also reduce the inability of conventional land sports to adapt to the transition process from land to water. At the same time, standardized swimming exercises can also reduce the inability of conventional land sports to adapt to the transition process from land to water. This total swimming ability is also the goal pursued by many coaches and players. Objective: This study analyzes the training methods to improve swimmers’ strength, endurance, and speed. The results of this work can establish a theoretical basis for coaches to formulate training plans. Methods: This paper selects 20 swimmers as the object of research. There were ten males and ten females. All athletes participate in an endurance training program. This paper records the training intensity and endurance data during the athlete’s training. This paper uses mathematical statistics for data analysis. Results: The athletes’ human body’s technical level improved significantly after the endurance system exercise. The data were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Endurance training can improve swimmers’ lower body strength. This training can make special training infinitely close to the demands of competition. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

“…For example, what types of self-talk are best suited for what types of transitions, and how can practitioners train athletes in their effective application to recognize specific PTs and employ potential solutions, accordingly? Future research needs to address these questions with consideration given to existing findings regarding the context-dependent nuances of self-talk in high performance, i.e., organic vs. strategic and spontaneous vs. goal-directed [ 44 , 45 ].…”

The Multi-Action Plan (MAP) presents as an action-focused, sport-specific, mixed methods intervention model. MAP research characterized four Performance Types (PTs). Each PT operates on an affective, cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological level—across performance contexts. In this narrative review, we present a synthesis of our current understanding of MAP research, coupled with offering applied implications and directions for future research. We make the case for investigating the timing of transitions between PTs as our primary area of interest in expanding the MAP framework on a conceptual and applied level. Regarding pre-transition cues, we offer ideas on examining socio-environmental precursors to performance, with the aim of expanding MAP from a psycho-bio (affective, cognitive, behavioral, and psychophysiological dimensions) to a biopsychosocial concept (affective, cognitive, behavioral, psychophysiological, and socio-environmental dimensions). Regarding post-transition, we propose that investigating short- and long-term effort and reward perception will yield valuable insights into athletes’ rationales behind the selection, operationalization, and experience of specific PTs. Finally, and from a pracademic perspective, we reflect critically on the achievements of MAP research thus far and provide specific directions for future research.

“…strategy can be used on its own or in combination with other psychological skill training strategies [22]. This strategy has been shown to be effective in improving motor performance in various sports [23][24][25], increasing S.C. [26], self-efficacy [18,27], and exercise motivation [17,28], reducing anxiety [29], and managing attentional focus [30]. The results of the systematic review by Tod et al [31] and a meta-analysis of the relationship between S.T.…”

Background The psychological strategies of self-talk (S.T.) and mental imagery (MI) have an essential role in training and sports performance, but their implementation, particularly in combination, is still limited. This study aimed to examine badminton motor skills (BMS) and self-confidence (S.C.) mastery after a psychological strategy intervention of S.T. and MI, which were integrated into the BMS training process in both independent and interactive functions. The S.T. strategy consisted of instructional (I-S.T.) and motivational (M-S.T.) functions, while the MI consisted of cognitive (C-MI) and motivational (M-MI) aspects. Methods Eighty youth beginner badminton student-athletes aged 10–12 years (male = 40, female = 40) were divided through a disproportional stratified sampling into four experimental groups (EG: 2-function S.T. × 2-function MI) and one control group (CG). The intervention program lasted eight weeks (three meetings a week for a total of 24 meetings). The participants completed a fidelity check at each session. At the end of the intervention, they took a BMS test and completed a self-confidence scale. Results The S.T. and MI strategies had a significant effect on BMS and S.C. mastery (independent and interaction functions) in multivariate and univariate ways; however, independently, they had no significant effect on S.C. The effect of I-S.T. > M-S.T. and the effect of C-MI > M-MI on BMS, but there was no difference in S.C. In the I-S.T. condition, the C-MI and M-MI strategies did not have a different interaction effect on BMS mastery, but the effect of M-MI > C-MI on S.C. In the M-S.T. condition, the effect of C-MI > M-MI on the BMS and S.C. mastery. In the C-MI condition, the I-S.T. and M-S.T. strategies did not have a different interaction effect on BMS mastery, but the effect of M-S.T. > I-ST on S.C. In the M-MI condition, the effect of I-S.T. > M-S.T. on the BMS and S.C. mastery. Conclusion The results of this study contribute to the existing evidence on the effectiveness of S.T. and MI strategies in the motor skill mastery and psychological skill development of beginner student-athletes. Thus, S.T. and MI strategies can be adapted as psychological strategies that coaches and physical educators can use to improve beginner student-athlete learning, sports performance, and psychological skills.
