“…Because of some of the suggested negative psychological consequences associated with early specialization, providing psychological skills training to assist adolescent athletes in acquiring psychological strategies for coping, goal setting and managing multiple demands is important. 36,66 In alignment with other elements noted in the sections above, this recommendation positions athletes as key agents in navigating their sport experience. Providing them with coping skills, for example, may mitigate the negative effects of performance pressure, a characteristic often seen as being associated with early specialization.…”

Context: The assumed risks of early specialization in sport are well known, with several international consensus statements advising against specialization in early athlete development. However, there have been recent calls for more focused research in this area. Evidence Acquisition: Research evidence from several scientific disciplines (eg, sport psychology, sports medicine, human development) were synthesized to develop a framework for practitioners working with adolescent athletes. Study Design: Narrative review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Results: There appear to be risks associated with a highly specialized approach to athlete training, but the mechanisms driving these effects are largely unknown. Greater attention to understanding these mechanisms would help mitigate risk and develop stronger policy for athlete development. Recommendations for program modifications are provided. Conclusion: Early specialization remains an important topic for researchers and practitioners working with youth and adolescent athletes. However, more work needs to be done to provide truly evidence-based recommendations for youth athlete training.

“…The only mental technique used was goal setting: The target of each training session was to do one more repetition compared to the previous session (or the best performance). Goal setting is reliably associated with strength increase (Tod et al, 2015) and might be correlated with better recovery (Kuan and Kueh, 2015). No other mental technique was used to improve performance or recovery (Kensrue et al, 2016).…”

Weight (resistance) training can increase strength and muscle mass. A personalized training protocol (i.e., with optimum frequency and number of sets) was followed for 4 months by a 40-year old male with 20 years of weight training experience. The body was split in three parts and was trained every 5-6 days. The strength increase was between 7% (back) and 17% (legs), while the free-fat mass increase was 0.4 kg (0.5%), which was lost after the 4-month period. It was shown that reduced sleep duration for one night did not affect the strength performance. However, with 2 days of reduced sleep, there were indications of worse performance. The results confirm the importance of personalized weight training programs and good sleep habits for strength improvements. Contribution/Originality: This study documents that a personalized weight (resistance) training programs can result in strength increases even for advanced trainees. This study contributes in the existing literature showing that one-night sleep restriction only slightly affects strength performance, but two nights of reduced sleep duration have a negative effect.

“…Therefore, coaches should be cautious in implementing appropriate mental skill for their athletes so that athletes would use the mental skills in practicing their physical skills, to enhance their quality of practice, leading to applying the same mental skills, to further enhance their sporting performing during competition. In addition, coaches should also teach their athletes to use the mental skills in competition [14].…”

Dance imagery is a skill performed in our head using our five senses (sight, taste, sound, smell, and touch) to visualize a movement or several movements in dance. It is possible for us to use imagery on its own or while we are dancing. The images formed in your head may comprise real movements or both movements and objects. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the use of imagery among dancers aged between 16 and 18. The investigation consisted in the application of the questionnaire "Development of the Dance Imagery Questionnaire" (DIQ) elaborated by Nordin, S. M., & Cumming, J. ( 2006) for 40 dancers. The questionnaire contains 16 items, divided into four categories: technique, artistry, purpose and quality of the role and the movement. It evaluates the extent to which the subjects incorporate imagery in all aspects related to dance. After interpreting the results, for technique we obtained a mean and a standard deviation of 5.7750 ± 0.70438, for artistry 5.6438 ± 0.65017, for the category of purpose 5.7938 ± 0.53973, and for quality 5.5938 ± 0.76520. After analyzing the data and making correlations between the four categories, we obtained values of Pearson's coefficient ranging between 0.05 and 0.01, which stands to show interdependence between the items of the categories. Consequently, it may be stated that the multiple answers to the questionnaire on the use of imagery in dance tend towards the value 6, which means that the subjects questioned used imagery in dance quite often.
