Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigated how propositions of the Revised Applied Model for Deliberate Imagery Use (RAMDIU) related to imagery ability. Chapter 2 and 3 established that PETTLEP imagery can improve the ease and vividness of internal, external and kinesthetic imagery of movements. Participants perceived the physical and environments elements of the PETTLEP model to be the most helpful for imaging easily and vividly. Chapter 4 investigated the use of these two elements in athletes’ ease of imaging five different types of sport imagery (i.e., skill, strategy, mastery, goal, and affect). The findings revealed positive associations between the use of physical and environment PETTLEP elements and ease of imaging all five imagery types. The findings of Chapters 2 to 4 suggest that the use of physical environment elements will likely result in greater ease of imaging cognitive and motivational imagery content and that the relationship between “What (type) & How” and “Imagery Ability” in the RAMDIU should be bi-directional. Chapter 5 explored the RAMDIU “Who” component by investigating whether emotion regulation in was associated with their sport imagery ability. Only emotional reappraisal was positively related with “Imagery Ability”. Overall, the thesis establishing that imagery ability can be influenced by the individual’s characteristics and how athletes image. Practitioners should consider athletes’ characteristics and how they are going to image to maximize the effectiveness of the imagery intervention in achieving the desired outcome(s).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is written as a collection of research papers through which the cognitive and motivational effects of imagery on sports performance were investigated. A number of research methodologies, ranging from a quasi-experimental design to a multiple-baseline across participants design, were employed to explore the effects of imagery. The first section of this thesis explored the cognitive effects of imagery. Specifically, study I examined the effects of different visual imagery perspectives and kinaesthetic imagery on the acquisition and retention of a simple gymnastics routine. External visual imagery was shown to have superior effects over internal visual imagery for this form-based task. A significant interaction was found in the retention phase; however, follow up tests failed to clarify the nature of the interaction. Study 2 and study 3 further investigated the imagery perspective issue by exploring the strength of relationship between external visual imagery and kinaesthetic imagery, and between internal visual imagery and kinaestlictic imagery. Results indicated that when the participant is the object of the image, kinaesthetic imagery has a greater association with external visual imagery than with internal visual imagery. However, because the tasks that participants imaged were essentially form-based, the results may not generalise to other types of tasks. The second section of the thesis examined the motivational effects of imagery. Study 4 employed a multiple-baseline across participants design to establish the effect of a mastery imagery intervention on sport confidence. Consistent with Paivio's (1985) proposals, the results suggested that imagery has a motivational function as the imagery intervention was found to increase confidence. Study 5 further considered the imagery confidence relationship and two factors which may moderate this relationship, that is skill level and sport-type. The results suggest that in team sport players the type of imagery associated with confidence depends on the skill level of the player.

Full textAbstract:
Almost every athlete will experience at least one sport related injury (SRI) during his or her career in sport. Because of these injuries, there is often a period of time that the athlete is removed from play and forced to complete a rehabilitation program. In order to enhance this rehabilitation process, researchers have investigated various mental skills used by athletes to enhance their recovery process. Two of the areas that research has reviewed in terms of injury rehabilitation have been imagery and self-efficacy. However, there is a lack of research in which an imagery education intervention has been implemented to see how athletes in a rehabilitation program respond in terms of their imagery use, levels of self-efficacy, and speed of recovery. Therefore, this study investigated the use of an imagery education program, and its effect on athletes' imagery use, self-efficacy and rehabilitation time. This was done through the use of the Athletic Injury Imagery Questionnaire-2 (AIIQ-2) and the Athletic Injury Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (AISEQ). Due to a high attrition rate in participation, inferential statistics were not able to be conducted in order to truly assess the effectiveness of the imagery education program. However, other conclusions were drawn based on the completion rates and various variables that may have affected those rates. The study found that female, freshman were most likely to complete the entire study, while male juniors were least likely to complete the requirements of the study.

Full textAbstract:
New neuroimaging techniques have made it possible to examine imagery and found evidence for that imagery share similar neural correlates as in perception. Imagery can be used in different areas to enhance performance, and it is a popular technique in sports. Similar to physical practice (PP), motor imagery (MI) can result in brain plasticity. The aim of this thesis is to describe what imagery means and describe different theories of imagery. This is to further look into what impact MI has on performance in different sports, and then to further see if there are any changes in brain plasticity as a result of using MI. There is a lack of studies done on MI, performance and brain plasticity in sport. To answer the latter focus of this thesis, studies of healthy persons and patient studies using MI to improve performance and examining changes in the brain have been used. In order to do that this thesis aims to do a literature review. The results indicate that MI combined with PP can improve sport performance. It has also been showed that MI alone can be as good as PP. Most studies found that MI combined with PP can result in brain plasticity, and only one study did not found evidence for it. It has also showed that MI alone can result in brain plasticity. Future research should include larger samples, matching subjects, and comparing the effects of MI in several kinds of sports.

Full textAbstract:
Blakeslee och Goff (2007) föreslår att dressyrryttares visualiseringsfärdigheter bör skilja sig från andra sporter som inte involverar ett djur. Enligt Murphy, Nordin och Cumming, (2008) finns det ett behov av ett instrument som tar hänsyn till visualiseringstyp, funktion och dess utgång. The survey of imagery experiences in sport (SIES; Weibull & Wallsbeck, 2009; Wallsbeck & Weibull, 2009) är ett relativt nytt instrument som mäter dessa variabler. Syftena i denna studie var därför att: (1) studera elitdressyrryttares visualiseringsupplevelser, (2) studera elitdressyrryttares förståelse och (3) upplevelse av instrumentet SIES. En kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod användes i studien. Dressyrryttarnas visualiseringsupplevelser skiljde sig till viss del från tidigare forskning. Till exempel användes flest visualiseringsmönster för syftet hitta rätt känsla och hörselsinnet inkluderades i många visualiseringsmönster. Deltagarnas förståelse och upplevelse av SIES var god med endast några få oklarheter gällande bland annat effekt och frekvens.
Blakeslee and Goff (2007) suggest that dressage riders’ imagery experience should be different from other sports that do not involve an animal. According to Murphy, Nordin and Cumming (2008), there is a need for an assessment instrument assessing the imagery type, function and outcome. The Survey of imagery experiences in sports (SIES, Weibull & Wallsbeck, 2009; Wallsbeck & Weibull, 2009) is a relatively new instrument that measures these variables. The objectives of this study was therefore to: (1) study the elite dressage riders’ imagery experiences, (2) study the elite dressage riders’ understanding and (3) experiences of the instrument SIES. A combination of qualitative and quantitative method was used in the study. The elite dressage riders’ imagery experiences partly differed from previous research. Most imagery patterns were for example used for the purpose find the right feeling and the auditory sense was included in many imagery patterns. The participants’ understanding and experience of SIES were good, with only a few ambiguities regarding for example effect and frequency.

Full textAbstract:
Sammanfattning Syfte och frågeställning Syftet med studien är att undersöka effekten av visuell perceptionsträning genom ett visualiseringsprogram på juniorfotbollsspelares passningsspel. Den frågeställning som ska besvaras är: - Vad är förändringen avseende procent korrekta passningar efter en intervention av ett visualiseringsprogram? Metod Till studien gjordes ett bekvämlighetsurval av 10 manliga fotbollsspelare (ålder 13,4 ± 0,5) med 7,3 (± 0,8) års erfarenhet av organiserad fotboll. Genom ett stratifierat urval blev deltagarna placerade i en interventionsgrupp (IG) och en kontrollgrupp (KG). IG fick ett visualiseringsprogram och KG fick ett rörlighets/stabilitetsprogram. Programmen pågick under fyra veckor och bestod av 12 sessioner fördelade på tre sessioner per vecka. Sessionerna utfördes 10 minuter innan regelbunden träning i separata omklädningsrum. IG guidades igenom att skapa mentala föreställningar. Framförallt gällande vridningar av huvud innan bollmottag för att erhålla relevant information från omgivningen för att underlätta kommande åtgärd med bollen. KG guidades igenom en serie lätta styrkeövningar som ställer krav på styrka, balans och rörlighet. För att bedöma försöksgruppernas procent korrekta passningar (PKP) utfördes ett PKP-test innan respektive efter interventionen. Förutom PKPtestet användes en manipulation check som en sekundär åtgärd för att utvärdera programmen. Manipulationschecken bestod av sju frågor relaterade till upplevelsen av respektive program. Resultat Av resultatet att döma ökade IG med 5 procentenheter i PKP från M = .66 ± .06 vid för-test till M = .71 ± .06 vid efter-test. Detta är att jämföra med KG som knappt ökade med 1 procentenhet från M = .72 ± .09 vid för-test till M = .73 ± .04 vid efter-test. Split-plot ANOVA avslöjade dock att effekterna inte var signifikanta, p = > .05. Avseende manipulation check så upplevde deltagarna positiva effekter av respektive program. I synnerhet IG som bland annat upplevde att deras visuella perceptionsförmåga hade förbättrats efter interventionen. Slutsats Trots att resultatet inte var signifikant så indikerade resultatet på PKP-testet och manipulation check att IG i högre grad förbättrade den visuella perceptionsförmågan och till följd därav även PKP jämfört med KG. Dock går det inte att säkerställa att visualiseringsprogrammet var den unika bidragande orsaken eftersom flera okontrollerbara faktorer kan ha påverkat spelarnas resultat på passningstestet. Således behövs mer forskning inom området.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate imagery procedures used by visually impaired athletes prior to and during competition. Individual in depth interviews were conducted with 15 visually impaired goal ball players, competing at a national level. The results indicate that regardless of the degree of visual impairment, these athletes used imagery on a daily basis for functioning effectively within their handicap. Due to their lack of vision, a great deal of feeling and sound was incorporated into their imagery. Suggestions are made for the enhancement of "feeling oriented imagery" with sighted persons.

In-depth interviews were conducted with eight European life-long sport professionals who were former elite athletes and then successful coaches in team sports. The purpose of the interview was to explore the role and the evolution of imagery from athlete to coach and to also determine whether mental imagery was used in any way by these professional coaches for enhancing team unity. Analysis showed that all these exceptional performers had excellent imagery skills and they used imagery training to achieve their sport related goals. Practical implications for enhancing team unity through imagery are also presented.

Full textAbstract:
L’imagerie motrice est la capacité à se représenter mentalement une action sans production concomitante de mouvement. Son efficacité reste assujettie au respect de nombreuses règles de pratique, parmi lesquelles la capacité à atteindre l'équivalence temporelle entre mouvements réels et imaginés. Les résultats de ce travail montrent que modifier la vitesse des mouvements imaginés se répercute sur la vitesse d’exécution réelle. De tels effets seraient toutefois modulés en fonction des exigences du mouvement imaginé. Le niveau d'expertise et le choix de stratégies individuelles relatif à la nature de la discipline sportive ont également un effet sur la durée des mouvements imaginés. Enfin, nos résultats démontrent que la capacité à préserver les caractéristiques temporelles du mouvement pendant l’imagerie est meilleure lorsque l’imagerie est effectuée avec un éveil physiologique proche de celui de la pratique réelle. Ces résultats sont discutés au regard du contexte de pratique de l'imagerie dans les activités physiques et sportives et sont confrontés aux travaux soulignant l’importance de recourir à des enregistrements physiologiques et d’étudier le degré de similitude entre pratique physique et imagerie motriceMotor imagery resembles perceptual experience, but occurs in the absence of the appropriate external stimuli. Performing imagery efficiently requires some rules and conditions of practice to ascertain its effectiveness. The ability to reach temporal equivalence between actual and imagined movements, and the duration of mentally simulated actions should be correlated with the time taken to execute the same movement. The results of this work first showed that the effects of voluntarily changing imagery duration can alter the speed of the subsequent motor performance, but this effect is somewhat taskrelated. Both expertise level and individual strategies were also found to have an effect on temporal equivalence and are dependent on the specificities of the motor skills. Finally, chronometric data showed that the ability to reach the temporal equivalence between actual and imagined times is significantly greater for both the active and the basal imagery conditions, than when performed following relaxation. These results are discussed along the lines of practical application of imagery in sport. Also, characteristics of imagery experiences are studied reviewing the use of physiological recordings in relation to its accuracy and to the degree of similarity between actual motor performance and motor imagery

Full textAbstract:
In the current study, I examined the efficacy of mindful self-compassion, imagery, and goal-setting (i.e., treatment as usual) interventions on athletic identity, knee self-efficacy, subjective knee functioning, and perceived injustice, following ACL surgery. Twenty-nine adolescent and young adult athletes participated in the interventions and completed self-report measures assessing each of these constructs prior to their surgery and over seven weeks post-ACL surgery. HLM analyses demonstrated significant decreases in athletic identity and increases in subjective knee functioning from pre-surgery through seven weeks post-surgery. Intervention group further explained these decreases, though no one intervention clearly emerged as more or less beneficial. No significant changes were observed for athletes' ratings of knee self-efficacy or perceived injustice. Limitations and areas for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
During the last half of the nineteenth century, American sportsmen-artists painted hunting-related images that were designed to promote the ideals of sporting behavior, conservationist thought, and the interests of elite sportsmen against non-elite hunters. Upper-class American attitudes regarding common hunters and trappers, the politics of land use, and the role of conservation in recreational hunting played a significant part in the construction of visual art forms during this period, art which, in turn, helped shape national dialogue on the protection and acceptable uses of wildlife.
This dissertation takes issues critical to mid-century American conservation thought and agendas, and investigates how they were embodied in American hunting art of the time. Beginning with depictions of recreational sportsmen during the era of conservationist club formation (mid-1840s), the discussion moves to representations of the lone trapper at mid-century. These figures were initially represented as a beneficial force in the conquest of the American frontier, but trappers and backwoodsmen became increasingly problematic due to an apparent disregard for game law and order. I explore the ways in which market hunting was depicted, and how it was contrasted with acceptable "sportsmanlike" hunting methods. Subsequent chapters consider the portrayal of the boy hunter, an essential feature to the sportsman's culture and its continuance, and the tumultuous relationship between elite sportsmen and their guides, who were known to illegally hunt off-season. The last chapters address the subject of the wild animal as heroic protagonist and dead game still life paintings, a pictorial type that represented the lifestyle of sportsmen and their concern for conservative catches and adherence to game law. Developments in conservation during the period were significantly tied to class and elitist aspirations, and artist-sportsmen merged these social prejudices with their agenda for game conservation. Their representations of hunting art both responded to and promoted the conservationist cause.

Sammanfattning Syfte och frågeställningar Studien avsåg undersöka om visualisering kan påverka eventuell nervositet och självförtroendet hos gymnaster inför tävling i truppgymnastik, samt huruvida PETTLEPmodellen kontra traditionell visualisering1 ger olika resultat. Följande frågeställningar avses besvaras genom studien: 1. Har visualisering enligt PETTLEP-modellen någon påverkan på nervositet och självförtroende inför en tävling? 2. Skiljer sig eventuell nervositet och självförtroende inför en tävling hos gymnaster beroende på om PETTLEP-modellen eller traditionell visualisering används? Metod 19 deltagare (ålder 17,09, ± 0,92) fullföljde studien. De placerades i en interventions- (IG) och en kontrollgrupp (KG) utan randomisering. IG genomgick ett PETTLEP-program (nio sessioner under tre veckor). Visualiseringen utfördes cirka 15 minuter före träning i ett rum intill hallen. IG guidades av studiens författare. KG utförde två sessioner med traditionell visualisering. I studien användes Immediate Anxiety Measurement Scale (IAMS), the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ) och en manipulationscheck som mätinstrument. Resultat En mixed ANOVA visade att den enda signifikanta skillnaden var självförtroendets påverkan, p = > .05. Självförtroendets påverkan ökade från M = -0,13 till M = 2,00 för IG. Intensiteten av mental och fysisk nervositet ökade hos KG från M = 3,90 respektive M = 3,70 vid första tillfället till M = 5,20 respektive M = 4,90 vid sista tillfället. Intensiteten av fysisk nervositet och självförtroendet ökade från M = 3,87 respektive M = 3,88 till M = 4,38 respektive M = 4,50 för IG. Den mentala nervositetens påverkan ökade från första till sista tillfället för IG (M = -0,5 resp. M = 0,75). Frekvensen av mental och fysisk nervositet för KG ökade från M = 3,70 resp. M = 3,60 till M = 4,90 resp. M = 4,40. Slutsats Självförtroendets påverkan på prestationen ökade hos IG medan KG minskade. Det kan inte fastställas att studiens innehåll var den enda bidragande faktorn till resultatet. Ett flertal skillnader kunde utläsas (ej signifikanta), men trend och effektstorlek talar för en viss förändring på ett fåtal av resultaten. Således behövs mer forskning inom området. 1Traditionell visualisering, till skillnad från PETTLEP-modellen, tar inte hänsyn till neurovetenskapligt framtagna rekommendationer så som PETTLEP-modellen görÄmneslärarprogrammet, Specialidrott

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the impact of three psychological interventions over seven weeks - goal setting (GS), GS and imagery (IM), and GS and mindful self-compassion (MSC) - on 20 athletes' (Mage = 16.75 years) pain, cognitive appraisal, depression reinjury anxiety, psychological readiness to return to sport, and range of motion (ROM). IM and GS interventions have demonstrated initial effectiveness; however, no study has examined MSC in relation to post-ACL recovery. All athletes experienced significant decrease in pain (F(2) = 97.30, p = .000) from Week 1 to Week 7 and a significant increase in ROM from Week 2 to Week 7 (F(1) = 77.93, p = .000). All athletes experienced significantly higher depression at Week 1 compared to both Week 2 and Week 7 (F(2) = 9.01, p = .001), and significantly higher difficulty coping with their injury at Weeks 1 and 2 compared to Week 7 (F(2) = 6.32, p = .005). There were no statistically significant effects found between the intervention groups at Weeks 1, 2, and 7. However there were moderate effect sizes between interventions which suggest MSC and IM could help athletes cope with their injury during the first few weeks after surgery, and GS may contribute towards less depression at seven weeks post-surgery. Limitations include small sample size, low power, and use of self-report measures. Results have implications for orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and health professionals working with athletes recovering from serious sport injury.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências do DesportoO presente estudo teve por objectivo analisar as competências psicológicas de atletas de Jiu-jitsu participantes do 3o Campeonato Europeu da modalidade. Participaram no estudo 115 atletas de diferentes nacionalidades, com idades entre os 18 e os 32 anos (25,75±3,01), os quais responderam a um questionário que, para além de algumas questões relativas a dados demográficos (e.g., idade) e desportivos (e.g., graduação e peso), incluía também a versão portuguesa do Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS; Thomas et al., 1999). A análise dos resultados revelou que, nos treinos, os atletas utilizavam mais a Formulação de Objectivos, a Activação e o Controlo Emocional, enquanto as competências menos referidas foram o Relaxamento, a Automaticidade e a Visualização Mental. Em competição os atletas utilizavam mais a Formulação de Objectivos, a Activação e o Controlo Emocional e menos os Pensamentos Negativos, a Automaticidade e a Autoverbalização. A Automaticidade era significativamente mais utilizada no treino do que na competição, e o Relaxamento, a Visualização Mental e a Activação eram mais usadas na competição do que no treino. No que respeita à análise em função dos anos de prática, os atletas com menos de quatro anos de prática, no treino, empregavam mais frequentemente a Formulação de Objectivos, o Controlo Atencional e a Autoverbalização, sendo as competências menos referidas o Relaxamento, a Automaticidade e a Activação; na competição, estes atletas recorriam mais à Formulação de Objectivos, à Activação e à Visualização Mental e menos aos Pensamentos Negativos, à Automaticidade e à Autoverbalização. Os atletas com quatro ou mais anos de prática, no treino, recorriam mais à Formulação de Objectivos, ao Controlo Emocional e ao Controlo Atencional e menos ao Relaxamento, à Automaticidade e à Visualização Mental; na competição, este grupo referiu utilizar mais a Formulação de Objectivos, a Activação e o Controlo Emocional e menos os Pensamentos Negativos, a Automaticidade e a Autoverbalização. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas competências psicológicas usadas no treino pelos atletas com menos de quatro anos de prática e com quatro ou mais anos de prática; na competição, os Pensamentos Negativos eram significativamente mais usados pelos atletas com menos de quatro anos de prática. Em relação às categorias de peso, as competências psicológicas que os atletas da categoria Leve mais usavam no treino eram a a Formulação de Objectivos, o Controlo Atencional e a Autoverbalização e as menos utilizadas o Relaxamento, a Automaticidade e o Controlo Emocional; as competências psicológicas mais utilizadas na competição eram a Formulação de Objectivos, a Activação e a Visualização Mental e as menos utilizadas os Pensamentos Negativos, a Automaticidade e o Controlo Emocional. Os atletas da categoria Médio, no treino, usavam mais a Formulação de Objectivos, o Controlo Atencional e o Controlo Emocional e menos o Relaxamento, a Visualização Menta! e a Autoverbalização; na competição recorriam mais à Activação, Formulação de Objectivos e Controlo Emocional e menos aos Pensamentos Negativos, Automaticidade e Autoverbalização. Os atletas da categoria Pesado empregavam mais, no treino, o Controlo Emocional, a Formulação de Objectivos e a Automaticidade e menos o Relaxamento, a Activação e a Autoverbalização; na competição, utilizavam mais frequentemente a Formulação de Objectivos, a Activação e o Relaxamento e com menos frequência os Pensamentos Negativos, a Automaticidade e a Visualização Mental. No treino, o Controlo Emocional era mais utilizado pelos atletas da categoria Pesado do que pelos da categoria Leve e o Controlo Atencional era mais utilizado pelos atletas da categoria Médio do que pelos da categoria Pesado; na competição, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas competências psicológicas usadas pelos atletas das três categorias de peso. No que concerne à análise em função da nacionalidade, os resultados mostraram que os atletas do Brasil utilizavam mais, nos treinos, a Formulação de Objectivos, o Controlo Emocional e o Controlo Atencional e as competências menos utilizadas foram o Relaxamento, a Automaticidade, a Visualização Mental e a Activação; na competição, os atletas brasileiros utilizavam mais a Activação, a Formulação de Objectivos e o Controlo Emocional e menos os Pensamentos Negativos, a Automaticidade e a Autoverbalização.

Full textAbstract:
Résumé : Lors du retour au sport, les sportifs blessés sont exposés à des émotions et cognitions négatives spécifiques. Ce vécu psychologique a donné lieu à l’émergence du concept d’anxiété de re-blessure, dont les conséquences portent également sur la performance et la santé physique du sportif au vu du risque accru de re-blessure qui y est associé. Si certains travaux scientifiques récents ont permis d’améliorer la prédiction de l’anxiété de re-blessure ainsi que d’évaluer l’efficacité d’interventions psychologiques visant à la réduire, de nombreux domaines d’étude restent à approfondir en lien avec ce concept. Ce travail doctoral, structuré des articles scientifiques rédigés et soumis pendant la thèse ainsi que de ceux qui pourront en découler de façon prioritaire, proposera donc d’étudier le concept d’anxiété de re-blessure en référence à 5 objectifs complémentaires. Le premier chapitre de ce travail présentera une revue systématique de littérature visant à mieux identifier les déterminants de l’anxiété de re-blessure et des autres concepts proches, tout en précisant leurs définitions. Cette revue souligne l’importance de privilégier le concept d’anxiété de re-blessure pour décrire les réactions psychologiques du sportif reprenant la pratique sportive après blessure. Le second chapitre portera sur l’adaptation et une validation en langue française d’un outil de mesure de l’anxiété de re-blessure. L’étude de la structure factorielle de l’outil permet, au-delà du score global issu du questionnaire, l’identification de trois sous-dimensions : la peur de se re-blesser, l’anxiété de contre-performance et les manifestations anxieuses. Le troisième chapitre proposera d’étudier les déterminants de l’anxiété de re-blessure à l’aide d’analyses de régression et de modèles de médiation et de modération. Les résultats montrent que le stress, la symptomatologie anxieuse et le genre prédisent l’anxiété de re-blessure de façon directe, mais également indirecte au vu des effets médiateurs et modérateurs traduisant leurs interactions avec d’autres caractéristiques psychologiques. L’utilisation d’un modèle croisé décalé permet également de montrer le rôle du stress dans la prédiction de l’anxiété de re-blessure dans une perspective longitudinale. Le quatrième chapitre proposera de tester l’existence de profils psychologiques liés à l’anxiété de re-blessure. Les analyses en clusters réalisées mettent en évidence quatre profils différents, au sein desquels apparaissent deux profils caractérisé par la présence de l’anxiété de re-blessure et d’autres émotions négatives (l’un à un niveau modéré, l’autre à un niveau élevé), un profil caractérisé par un faible niveau d’anxiété de re-blessure, et un dernier profil caractérisé par un niveau d’anxiété de re-blessure « intermédiaire » et surtout par le manque de confiance que le sportif accorde à la partie du corps blessé. Enfin, le cinquième chapitre présentera le travail d’élaboration et de mise en place ainsi que l’évaluation de l’efficacité d’une intervention d’imagerie mentale de type Visuo-Motor Behavior Rehearsal (VMBR) proposée à des sportifs ayant subi une intervention chirurgicale du ligament croisé antérieur dans le cadre d’un protocole randomisé contrôlé. L’intervention s’avère efficace sur la réduction de l’anxiété de re-blessure, du stress et de la douleur. Par ailleurs, elle permet de renforcer d’autres facteurs protecteurs tels que l’optimisme et la recherche de soutien social. L’intervention permet également aux athlètes de revenir plus rapidement au sport que ceux ne l’ayant pas reçue. La synthèse générale de ce travail proposera de déterminer les conditions de généralisation des principaux résultats obtenus tout en identifiant les perspectives d’applications rendues possibles dans le champ sportif dans la prise en charge d’autres problématiques sportives mais également auprès d’autres populations confrontés à des enjeux de performance ou exposés à des risques de blessureAbstract : When returning to sports, athletes are exposed to specific negative cognitions and emotions. One of these negative emotions was named re-injury anxiety. The consequences of re-injury anxiety could lead to an impact on performance and physical well-being, increasing the risk of re-injury. The psychological aftermath of re-injury anxiety have been depicted with increasing interest in literature, and interventions decreasing this specific emotion, many gaps in literature remain to be developed. The purpose of this doctoral work, with published scientific articles, will study the concept of re-injury anxiety in reference to five complementary objectives. The first chapter of the thesis will present a systematic review of the literature, highlighting the factors of re-injury anxiety and other close concepts. This review of literature will demonstrate the importance in prioritising the concept of re-injury anxiety to describe psychological reactions when an athlete return to sport after an injury. The second chapter will focus on the adaptation and a validation in French language of a measuring tool for re-injury anxiety. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis allowed us to identify three subscales of this specific anxiety : the latter will be named : fear of re-injury, performance anxiety and signs of anxiety. The third chapter will propose the study of the factors of re-injury anxiety with regression analysis, mediation and moderation models. The results showed that stress, anxious symptomatology and gender were directly predicting re-injury anxiety, and also indirectly with mediating and moderating effects, describing their interactions with other psychological characteristics. Using cross-lagged models allowed us to identify the signification of stress in predicting re-injury anxiety in a longitudinal perspective. In the fourth chapter, we will investigate the psychological cluster related to re-injury anxiety. Cluster analysis highlighted four different profiles with 2 specific profiles characterised by high level of re-injury anxiety and other negative emotions (i.e., one with moderate level, and one with very high level of re-injury anxiety). An other profile was characterised by a low re-injury anxiety level, and the last profile was characterised with average re-injury anxiety especially with very low knee confidence. Finally, the fifth chapter will discuss the psychological interventions which can be proposed to athletes expressing re-injury anxiety. The fifth part of this work will present the implementation in a rehabilitation center of a controlled randomised interventional protocol based on mental imagery like Visuo-Motor Behavior Rehearsal (VMBR) on athletes who injured at anterior cruciate ligament. The intervention turns out to be efficient on the reduction of negative effects caused by the injury such as re-injury anxiety, stress but also pain. Besides, it allows the increased mobilisation of protective factors such as optimism and social support seeking. Resorting to a VMBR-like intervention also allows athletes to return to sport faster than those who didn’t. The general synthesis of this thesis will offer to generalise the principal results obtained while identifying the perspectives of application of the results in other types of interventions, contexts, or in other populations

Physical activity can be beneficial to both physical and mental health, but can also lead to injuries. While injury rehabilitation through physical therapy is mostly focused on physical exercise, there are also other factors, which may influence rehabilitation outcome. The factorsreviewed are: rehabilitation adherence, mindfulness meditation, mental imagery, action observation, self-talk, goal-setting and social support. This essay investigates the neural correlates of these factors, as well as how they can affect rehabilitation outcome and wellbeing, to a lesser degree, during rehabilitation. Among the effects found are performance enhancement, increased self-efficacy, increased pain tolerance, increased motivation and reduced strength loss. Suggestions for future research is also provided.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur vardagsgolfare använder sig av stödjande psykologiska prestationstekniker vid en golfrunda och tävling. I studien deltog tolv vardagsgolfare, sex män och sex kvinnor, i åldrarna 24-82 år (M=50.33, SD=17.19). Deltagarna i den aktuella studien spelade golf minst två gånger i veckan under säsong. Studiens data framkom genom en semistrukturerad intervjuguide, därefter analyserades datan via en innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade tydliga bidrag kring intervjudeltagarnas användning av stödjande psykologiska prestationstekniker vid en golfrunda och tävling. Majoriteten av vardagsgolfarna använde prestationstekniker vid utmanande situationer såsom puttning eller driverslag. Emellertid visade det att de omedvetet använde och kombinerade stödjande psykologiska prestationstekniker eftersom de inte kunde förstå hur deras prestation påverkades av sitt inre. Deltagarna besatt inte tillräcklig förståelse för teknikernas vikt, betydelse eller funktion när de uppfattade en effekt i sitt golfspel och kunde därmed inte förklara utfallet. Studier har visat att idrottare på lägre nivå har en förmåga att använda tekniker på samma sätt som elitidrottare, både fysiska och psykiska. På samma sätt uppvisade intervjudeltagarna tendens kring liknande användning som tidigare forskning visar hos elitidrottare. Vidare implikationer av prestationsteknikerna kan resultera till att deltagarna mer framgångsrikt får användning för teknikernas helhet. Framtida forskning rekommenderas att studera hur vardagsgolfare påverkar sitt spel under en längre tid när de medvetet använder stödjande psykologiska prestationstekniker.The aim of the study was to investigate how everyday golfers’ use supportive psychological performance techniques in a round of golf and competition. Twelve everyday golfers participated in the study, six men and six women, aged 24-82 years old (M=50.33, SD=17.19). The participants in the current study played golf at least twice a week during the season. The study data emerged through a semi-structured interview guide, then the data was analyzed via a content analysis. The results showed clear contributions about the interview participants’ use of supportive psychological performance techniques in a round of golf and competition. The majority of the everyday golfers used performance techniques in challenging situations such as putting or using the driver. However, it showed that they unknowingly used and combined supportive psychological performance techniques because they could not understand how their performance was affected by their inner being. The participants did not possess a sufficient understanding of the importance, significance or function of the techniques when they perceived an effect in their golf game and thus could not explain the outcome. Studies have shown that athletes on lower levels have the ability to use techniques in the same way as elite athletes, both physically and mentally. In the same way, the interviewees showed a tendency towards similar use as elite athletes. Further implications of the performance techniques may result that the participants use the entirety of the techniques more successfully. Future research recommends studying how everyday golfers affect their game for a long time when they consciously use supportive psychological performance techniques.

The objective of this study is to establish a methodology in which remote sensing can be used to support the monitoring of water resources. SPOT XS imagery and object-oriented classification was used to identify farm dams and their surface area. Two equations applied to determining the capacity of dams were used to convert surface area to volume. The results showed a similarity between fieldwork and object-oriented classification data for surface area. Overall, there appears to be a strong positive correlation between object-oriented classification and unsupervised classification. The correlation between object-oriented classification and supervised classification ranged from strong positive association to little or no association. This study concludes that remote sensing is a useful tool in identifying water bodies and generating an estimate of volume stored.

Full textAbstract:
@Dès les prémices de la diffusion du sport dans les différentes couches de la société française à la fin du XIXe siècle, la presse quotidienn généraliste commence à s'intéresser à ce phénomène nouveau. Les premières rubriques sportives s'organisent dans les différents quotidiens, leur fréquence et leur étendue, d'abord limitées et anecdotiques, ne cessent de s'accroître au fil des années. Elles deviennent rapidement, dès les années 1905-1910, un des éléments importants de ces quotidiens. En parallèle au développement des rubriques sportives, les premiers reportages sur les grands évènements sportifs se multiplient, se diversifient et conquièrenet progressivement la Une des quotidiens. Le sport passe entre 1896 et 1914 du statut de sujet journalistique mineur à celui de sujet journalistique important pour la presse généraliste quotidienne. Par l'intermédiaire de ces rubriques et de ces articles sportifs, les journalistes renvoient des images et construisent des représentations positives du sport. Ils le présentent comme une activité idéale, utile dans la vie quotidienne et nationale et bienfaisante pour la population. Ils participent ainsi activement à la légitimation, à la vulgarisation et à la diffusion du sport comme pratique et comme spectacle dans leur lectorat. Cependant, en s'intéressant de plus en plus à cette activité, les différents quotidiens généralistes cherchent également à séduire, à fidéliser et à conquérir le lectorat qui est de plus en plus friand des informations et des reportages sportifs. Les liens étroits et intéressés qui unissent aujourd'hui la presse et le sport se tissent donc dés la Belle époque@From the start of the distribution of the sport in the different stratums of the french society at the end of nineteenth century, the general daily press begins to make an interest in thisnew phenomenon. The first sports headings take shape in the different newspapers, their frequency and their expanse, first small and anecdotal, don't stop to increase in the course of the years. They become rapidly, as far back as 1905-1910, one of important components of these newspapers. At the same time, the first reports on the great sports events multiply, diversify and they conquer progressively the front page of the newspapers. The sport is an important subject for the general daily press in 1914 even though it was, in 1896, only a minor subject. Through these sports headings and these sports articles, the journalists give some positive sport's images and they construct some positive sport's representations. They present it as an ideal activity, useful in the daily and national life and beneficial for the population. Like this, they actively take part in the popularization and the distribution of the sport, as pratice and as spectacle, in there readers. However, with this multiplication of the sport articles , the different general newspapers try to attract , to keep and to conquer a lot of new readers who are more and more partial to sports news and sopts reports. The close and self-interested bonds who combine today the press and the sport were present since the beginning of the twentieth century

This research investigates the management of spectacular images of the sport in mega events. The top-level modern sport, the basis of mega sports events, is a source of a complex system of production and image reproduction and social symbols, and of economized images this is, with the accumulation of values and meanings and it is also a bridge between those agents of these types of activities and their audiences, which ultimately reverts to capital and image. This issue becomes more relevant due to the fact that Brazil will host both World Cup in 2014 and Olympics in 2016. The main hypothesis of this doctoral research is that the images that circulate in these sports mega events are organized not in relation to their body related this is, athletes, local or competition but with other images, creating an imagery show that is constructed from an economic principle. This research, which aims to analyze the sport mega-events as media environments, allows us to show that there is an economy, an operating principle between play, sport and mega-events, from images. The reference here is the Greek concept of oikonomia and its derivations in economic theology, which support the idea of an economy of the image, which binds to the organization and management of pictorial resources in the relationship between the man and his imaginary. The objective is to investigate the construction of media environments and test the validity of speaking in the existence of an economy of image of the sport, responsible for the transformation of sports mega-events and their agents in goods of the consumer society. In the concept of game and sport the references are Huizinga and Caillois. For sport, the references are Bourdieu, from the concept of communication in sport, and Wulf and Gabauer on mimesis in the sports game. For concepts of image, event and apparatus, the ideas of Flusser are also crucial. And finally, from Agamben, Mondzain and Polanyi, the concept of economy of images is supported, which allows, in dialogue with the theory of the spectacle, Debord and Iconofagia by Baitello Jr., we can understand the essence of sports consumption in contemporary society
Esta pesquisa investiga a gestão das imagens espetaculares do esporte nos megaeventos. O esporte moderno de alta competição, base dos megaeventos esportivos, é fonte de um sistema complexo de produção e reprodução de imagens e símbolos sociais e é gerador de imagens economizadas ou seja, com acúmulo de valores e significados , e que constroem vínculos entre agentes desses tipos de atividades e seus públicos, o que, por fim, reverte-se em capital e imagem. Esse assunto torna-se mais relevante com a realização no País da Copa do Mundo de 2014 e dos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016 no Brasil. A hipótese principal desta pesquisa de doutoramento é a de que as imagens que circulam nesses megaeventos organizam-se não mais na relação com os seus referentes corporais ou seja, atletas, locais ou competições , mas sim com outras imagens, gerando um espetáculo imagético que se constrói a partir de um princípio econômico. Esta pesquisa, que pretende analisar os megaeventos enquanto ambientes midiáticos do esporte, permite mostrar que há uma economia, um princípio operativo entre jogo, esporte e megaeventos, a partir de imagens. A referência aqui é o conceito grego oikonomia e suas derivações na economia teológica, que subsidiam a ideia de uma economia da imagem, que se liga à organização e à gestão dos recursos imagéticos na relação entre o homem e seu imaginário. O objetivo é investigar a construção dos ambientes midiáticos e verificar a pertinência de se falar na existência de uma economia da imagem do esporte, responsável pela transformação de megaeventos esportivos e de seus agentes em mercadorias da sociedade de consumo. No conceito de jogo e esporte, as referências são Huizinga e Caillois. Para esporte, as referências são Bourdieu, a partir do conceito de comunicação no esporte, e Wulf e Gabauer, sobre a mimese no jogo esportivo. Serão também fundamentais os conceitos de imagem, evento e de aparelho de Flusser. E, por fim, a partir de Agamben, Mondzain e Polanyi, alicerça-se o conceito de economia das imagens, o que permite, em diálogo com a teoria do espetáculo, de Debord, e da Iconofagia, de Baitello Jr., entender a essência do consumo esportivo na sociedade contemporânea

Cette recherche presente une etude qui a pour objectif de faire une analyse sociologique et semiologique du sport dans les images publicitaires au bresil. Nous nous sommes donc attaches a rechercher, dans une perspective comparative, la signification socioculturelle du sport dans les images publicitaires entre les periodes 1979/1982 et 1989/1992, en contribuant a la construction d'une semiologie des images sportives. Il s'agit d'une etude comparative entre ces deux periodes historiques, mais notre interet se porte plus particulierement sur la periode 1989/1992, marquee par une forte interference du champ politique dans la publicite. Pour cette recherche nous avons analyse 1. 614 images publicitaires qui utilisent le sport comme support thematique dans trois magazines de la presse bresilienne. Notre analyse sur le sport est effectuee d'apres la notion de champ, ou le sport est percu en tant que participant a un espace de lutte materielle et symbolique. Pour le chapitre i (le champ sportif) et le ii (la publicite), la methode socio-historique pour analyser l'histoire sociale et politique des institutions sportives et publicitaires au bresil. C'est-a-dire, etudier les conditions historiques et sociales qui ont rendu possible la constitution de ces institutions et des agents directement ou indirectement lies au sport, jusqu'aux producteurs et vendeurs de biens et des spectacles sportifs. Par rapport au chapitre iii (l'analyse du corpus publicitaire) les annonces recueillies se heurtent a un obstacle qui de prime abord, parait difficile a surmonter: celles ci sont si nombreuses et diverses qu'elles semblent interdire toute possibilite d'analyse systematique. En realite, cette impression tient surtout au fait que l'on classe generalement les annonces en fonction des produits qu'elles representent. Pour prendre cela en compte, l'analyse du corpus publicitaire comprend deux grandes parties: a) une etude quantitative qui nous permettra de mesurer et d'interpreter la frequence d'apparition des sports dans la publicite, au travers d'une analyse statistique de donnees, ou les sports seront d'abord classes selon les secteurs publicitaires ; b) une etude qualitative, basee sur une analyse semiologique des images publicitaires recueillies, dans laquelle l'on etudie la relation entre le champ sportif et le role de la publicite en tant que productrice d'imaginaires, tout en contribuant a la construction d'une semiologie des images sportives. A cet effet nous avons recouru aux contributions de la methode, qui a ete initialement inspiree par la science generale des signes, baptisee semiologie par saussure en europe, et semiotique aux etats-unis par le scientifique charles sanders peirce. Selon nous, cette facon d'analyser a pour but de completer et non de remplacer les autres etudes realisees. Dans sa globalite, cette recherche nous a permis d'aboutir au travers de l'analyse des images publicitaires que les annees 1990 furent marquees par une forte interference du champ politique dans la publicite. A une epoque ou les grands reves de la societe d'abondance s'ecroulent, que celle-ci est en proie au doute et traverse une crise profonde, l'on constate une forte progression de l'utilisation du sport dans les images publicitaires. Notre analyse demontre que vingt-six secteurs publicitaires ont fait appel au sport pendant la periode 1979/1982, et trente-deux au cours des annees 1989/1992. Cela met en evidence l'interet croissant des secteurs publicitaires quand a l'utilisation du sport pour promouvoir leurs produits vers les annees 1990

This study uses satellite based data obtained from SPOT-5 forinvestigating association between land cover patterns and malaria incidences in an area of thatpart of Bangladesh. Climatic conditions were also examined to determine its influence onmosquito breeding and malaria incidences. Unsupervised classification was performed usingground-truth data to classify the land cover patterns of the area; and NDVI of the area wascomputed. Overall accuracies of 89.9%, 87.9% and 89.5% were achieved in Kuhalong,Shuloka and Bandarban respectively. These data sets were used to predict risk for malariautilizing statistical tools of the SPSS software. Factor analysis was carried out to investigaterelationship between land cover patterns and malaria cases in the different subunits (calledunions) of the study area. Malaria cases were not evenly distributed among the unions. InKuhalong union, there were more malaria cases compared to the other unions, Shuloka andBandarban. Kuhalong is covered with more water bodies than that in the other two unions.The results of the analysis illustrate malaria cases are correlated with land cover like water,light forest, and agricultural land; and are also associated with average humidity and averageNDVI.

Full textAbstract:
SPOT simulation imagery was acquired for a test site in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, U.K. This data was qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated for its potential application in forest resource mapping and management. A variety of techniques are described for enhancing the image with the aim of providing species level discrimination within the forest. Visual interpretation of the imagery was more successful than automated classification. The heterogeneity within the forest classes, and in particular between the forest and urban class, resulted in poor discrimination using traditional `per-pixel' automated methods of classification. Different means of assessing classification accuracy are proposed. Two techniques for measuring textural variation were investigated in an attempt to improve classification accuracy. The first of these, a sequential segmentation method, was found to be beneficial. The second, a parallel segmentation method, resulted in little improvement though this may be related to a combination of resolution in size of the texture extraction area. The effect on classification accuracy of combining the SPOT simulation imagery with other data types is investigated. A grid cell encoding technique was selected as most appropriate for storing digitised topographic (elevation, slope) and ground truth data. Topographic data were shown to improve species-level classification, though with sixteen classes overall accuracies were consistently below 50%. Neither sub-division into age groups or the incorporation of principal components and a band ratio significantly improved classification accuracy. It is concluded that SPOT imagery will not permit species level classification within forested areas as diverse as the Forest of Dean. The imagery will be most useful as part of a multi-stage sampling scheme. The use of texture analysis is highly recommended for extracting maximum information content from the data. Incorporation of the imagery into a GIS will both aid discrimination and provide a useful management tool.

Įvaizdis sporto organizacijoms ypatingai svarbus: ne tik formuoja nuomonę apie tam tikrą sporto šaką Lietuvoje, bet ir padeda pritraukti rėmėjų lėšų. Palankus organizacijos įvaizdis yra didelis privalumas, kadangi įvaizdis turi didelę įtaką vartotojams, jų suvokimui apie organizacijos komunikaciją bei daugelį kitų veiksnių.
Tyrimo objektas – sporto organizacijos įvaizdžio formavimas.
Darbo tikslas - išsiaiškinti Lietuvos greitojo čiuožimo asociacijos įvaizdžio formavimo procesą.
Uždaviniai:
1. Išanalizuoti organizacijos įvaizdžio formavimo sampratą.
2. Atskleisti organizacijų įvaizdžio kūrimo modelių pagrindinius vystymosi ypatumus.
3. Atskleisti Lietuvos greitojo čiuožimo asociacijos įvaizdžio formavimo ypatumus.
Išvados. Šiuo metu LGČA įvaizdį galima apibūdinti taip – jauna, profesionali, moderni, veikli organizacija, vienijanti profesionaliai ir daug dirbančius žmones, siekiančius bendro organizacijos tikslo. Trys pagrindiniai veiksniai, darantys didžiausią įtaką ir stiprinantys LGČA įvaizdį – sportiniai pasiekimai, sportininkai, renginiai. Labiausiai LGČA įvaizdį neigiamai veikiantys ir menkinantys veiksniai – organizacijos komunikacija ir sporto bazės nebuvimas. LGČA asocijuojama su modernumu, kovingumu, profesionalumu, dinamiškumu bei greitumu.
LGČA tinkamai suformuotas įvaizdis padidina LGČA vertę bei galėtų padidinti rėmėjų skaičių. LGČA, formuodama savo įvaizdį atsižvelgia į organizacijos veiklos ypatumus.

Favourable image of the organization is a huge advantage, because it has a huge influence on consumers, their perception about organization‘s communication and other subjects. Work object – the formation of image in sport organization. Work purpose: to clearify the image forming process in Lithuanian speed skating association (further - LSSA). Tasks: 1. To analyse the conception of the organization’s image formation. 2. To reveal the main peculiarities of the organization’s image formation process. 3. To analyse the image forming peculiarities in Lithuanian speed skating association. Conclusions. Nowadays we can describe the image of LSSA as young, professional, modern, active organization, which unify professionaly and a lot of working persons, reaching comon purpose or the organization. The three main subjects making the hugest infleunce on LSSA‘s image are the sport achievements, sportsmen and events. The factors which has negative influence on LSSA‘s image are: organization‘s communication and sport facilities. LSSA is associated with modernity, combativity, professionalism, dynamism and quicknes. Properly formed image increase the value of LSSA and could increase the number of sponsors.

L'objectif de notre recherche est d'extraire les altitudes h d'une scène donnée prise en image sous deux angles différents donnés par le satellite SPOT. Dans ce but nous avons modélisé le mouvement du satellite et de son système optique afin de transformer les deux images initiales en images épipolaires, ce qui nous permettra de réduire le temps d'appariement et de trouver les pixels homologues avec succès. Pour la mise en correspondance, nous avons utilisé une technique qui est à base de la corrélation et de la programmation dynamique. Cette méthode nous a permet d'apparier 96 % des pixels homologues avec une erreur inférieure à 5 mètres. Ce problème de mise en correspondance reste toujours ouvertThe aim of our research was to extract the level h of a precise landscape taken over two differents angles by the satellite SPOT. To do so, we have modelised the movement of the satellite and his optical system to transform the two first images in another one, epipolar which will allow us to reduce the matching time and to find with success the equivalent pixels. For the pairing, we have utilised a technic wich is based on the corrolation and of the dynamic programming. This method was very satisfactory and allow us to match 96 % of the equivalent pixels, with an error of less than 5 meters, but the original problem is still a matter of research for complimentary studing

This study examined sports photographs in fifty-two issues (thirteen issues each) of The Source Sports, Sports Illustrated for Women. Sports Illustrated and ESPN Magazine for gender differences in the way athletes are visually portrayed. Duncan and Sayaovong's 1990 study was used as the foundation for this new study.The content analysis revealed quantitative differences in photographic depictions of female and male athletes. Like the previous study, gender differences were found in the overall number of photographs of female and male athletes. These photographs were then broken down into one-half page, full-page and pull-out photographs. Gender differences were also found in the number of male and female athletes on the cover of the magazines, and the level of activity or inactivity associated with athletes. Unlike the previous study, the researcher found no gender differences in prominent and supporting positions when both men and women were featured in a photograph and no difference in camera angles.Department of Journalism
