“…In terms of running economy over the three submaximal phases, motivational music was associated with a small-to-moderate benefit over no music (d =. 29), and neutral music was associated with a moderate-to-large benefit compared to the no-music control (d =.64). Figure 1 shows Feeling Scale scores for the three conditions over the course of the running test.…”

“…Another potential limitation is that preferred attentional style, which was not assessed, may affect responses to music. Elite endurance athletes tend to be associators rather than dissociators 29 and hence may stand to benefit less from external cues such as music. Finally, given the widespread use of music by athletes, it is possible that demand characteristics 30 may help to explain the observed psychological benefits of music, although they do not explain time-to-exhaustion improvements and physiological benefits nor do they explain fully why motivational music was associated with more positive mood responses and feeling states than neutral music.…”

“…The one from key areas which to be considered is longterm ability to concentrate attention on performance (Weinberg & Gould, 2003;Morgan & Pollock, 1977;Zemanová & Kovář, 2009). The last study focused on identifying the ability to concentrate attention that we consider crucial.…”

BACKGROUND:The triathlon is a combination of three diff erent types of sport -swimming, cycling, and running. Each of these requires diff erent top level predispositions and complex approach to talent selection is a rather diffi cult process. Attempts to identify assumptions in the triathlon have so far been specifi c and focused only on some groups of predispositions (physiology, motor tests, and psychology). The latest studies missed the structural approach and were based on determinants of sport performance, theory of sports training and expert assessment.OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to verify the model of predisposition in the short triathlon for talent assessment of young male athletes age 17-20 years.METHODS: The research sample consisted of 55 top level triathletes -men, who were included in the Government supported sports talent programme in the Czech Republic at the age of 17-20 years. We used a confi rmative factor analysis (FA) and Path diagram to verify the model, which allow us to explain mutual relationships among observed variables. For statistical data processing we used a structure equating modeling (SEM) by software Lisrel L88. RESULTS:The study confi rms best structural model for talent selection in triathlon at the age of 17-20 years old men, which composed seventeen indicators (tests) and explained 91% of all cross-correlations (Goodness of Fit Index /GFI/ 0.91, Root Mean Square Residual /RMSR/ 0.13). Tests for predispositions in triathlons were grouped into fi ve items, three motor predispositions (swimming, cycling and running skills), aerobic and psychological predispositions. Aerobic predispositions showed the highest importance to the assumptions to the general factor (1.00; 0). Running predispositions were measured as a very signifi cant factor (-0.85; 0.28) which confi rms importance of this critical stage of the race. Lower factor weight showed clusters of swimming (-0.61; 0.63) and cycling (0.53; 0.72) predispositions. The psychological predispositions were found in the lowest eff ect (0.36; 0.87).CONCLUSIONS: We confi rm predispositions and tests for measurement of its level for top level male triathletes in the junior category. The model is in practice today in the Czech Republic, where we used the test standards for dividing Government support of athletic talent.

“…A fáj-dalomérzékeléssel kapcsolatos figyelmi megküzdés alapvetõen két egymást kiegészítõ módon közelíthetõ meg: az asszociatív és a disszociatív figyelmi stratégiákkal (Morgan & Pollock, 1977). Az asszociatív figyelmi stratégiák a figyelem fókuszát a belsõ szomatikus szenzoros érzékletek felé irányítják, míg a disszociatív figyelmi stratégiák a figyelmi fókuszt "kifelé", a szomatikus, szenzoros érzékletektõl ellentétes irányba terelik (Scott, Scott, Bedic, & Dowd, 1999).…”

Különbözõ pszichológiai módszereket már régóta alkalmaznak nem csak fájdalomcsök-kentés céljából, hanem a legkülönfélébb kognitív módszereket igénylõ klinikai helyzetekben is. A klinikumban és a rehabilitációban használatos pszichológiai módszerekkel törté-nõ fájdalomcsökkentés mellett a placebo-fájdalomcsillapítás is egyre inkább kutatott és feltárt jelensége az orvostudománynak. Mindkettõ hatásmechanizmusában fontos szerepet játszik az orvos-beteg kapcsolat minõsége. A beteg vonatkozásában a kognitív pszicholó-giai módszerek közül a képzelet alkalmazásának lehet nagy jelentõsége sok esetben, fõként azért, mert egy betegség vagy sérülés során a személy könnyen olyan regresszív munkamódba kerülhet, amelyben az elsõdleges folyamatok, így a képzelet is, felerõsödnek. Ezért a betegek képzeletének terápiás folyamatba való bevonása az egyik lehetséges módja annak, hogy minél szélesebb körben kihasználjuk a pszichoszociális tényezõkben rejlõ gyó-gyító lehetõségeket és gyorsítsuk a gyógyulás folyamatát. Jelen összefoglaló keretében a képzelõerõ terápiás alkalmazására vonatkozó szakirodalom néhány elemét kívánjuk bemutatni, elsõsorban arra a kérdésre koncentrálva, hogy a képzelõerõ milyen módon játsz-hat szerepet a különbözõ betegségekkel kapcsolatban megjelenõ fájdalomcsillapítás terü-letén.
