P300 and quality of performance in a forewarned ‘Go’-‘NoGo’ reaction time task: The significance of goal-directed lifestyle and impulsivity

Reversal theory-based sport and exercise research: A systematic/narrative review

“…The results of these three Hong Kong-based studies were used by the university physical education department to help decide on the provision of a range of sport and exercise activities which would be attractive to students with different dominance profiles. Svebak (1990Svebak ( , 1999) offered an explanation for these sport participation patterns that integrated the results from a series of psychophysiological studies into a model of personality and sports participation (Braathen & Svebak, 1990, 1994Svebak, 1984Svebak, , 1986Svebak, Howard, & Rimehaug, 1987;Svebak, Storjfell, & Dalen, 1982).
