Q

What are the 2 main situational sources of stress within athletes?

A

(A) EVENT IMPORTANCE: The more important an event, the more stress provoking it will be. An event that may seem insignificant to most people may be very important for one particular person.

(B) UNCERTAINTY: The greater the degree of uncertainty an individual feels about an outcome or others’ feelings and evaluations, the greater the state anxiety and stress.

Q

Explain the Catastrophe Model (anxiety)

A
  • Physiological arousal is related to performance in an inverted-U fashion, but only when an athlete is not worried or has low cognitive state anxiety.
  • If cognitive anxiety is high, the increases in arousal at some point reach a kind of threshold just past the point which afterwards leads to a rapid decline in performance.

Q

What is the goal of the SELF-ACCEPTANCE MODEL?

A
  • Recognise that internal experiences of all kinds naturally come and go and do not need to be labeled, judged, managed, or controlled.
  • Efforts to control internal experiences may actually create a hyper-vigilance to internal processes.
  • The overly cognitive, self- focused process is likely to reduce the athlete’s capacity to automatically engage (trust) developed athletic skills, respond to contextual cues, and attend to the necessary aspects of competition.

Q

Explain: MINDFULNESS-ACCEPTANCE-COMMITMENT (MAP) FOR PERFORMANCE

A
  • Promotes accepting internal experiences while at the same time focusing on the appropriate external factors and behavioural responses required to successfully navigate situations and achieve both immediate and long-term valued outcomes.
  • The MAC is an integrated approach targeting mindful, non judging, present-moment attention (mindfulness), acceptance of internal experiences as natural occurrences, willingness to remain in contact with internal experiences, and values-directed action (commitment).
39
Q

Explain the Rule-governed behaviour according to MAC

A
  • Actions that are primarily driven by internal or external rules, guidelines, or expectations, rather than by direct contact with the current situation or personal values.
  • Often rigid and can be counterproductive in certain contexts.
  • Influenced by thoughts and beliefs about what should be done, rather than what is effective or aligned with personal well-being and goals.
  • An athlete might adhere to a specific training routine (“I must run 10 miles every day”) even when it’s causing harm or isn’t aligned with their current physical condition.
40
Q

Explain the Values-directed behaviour according to MAC

A
  • Action that is guided by personal values - the core principles and ideals that give our lives meaning and direction.
  • More flexible and adaptive than rule-governed behavior.
  • It involves actions that are consciously chosen based on what is important and meaningful to the individual.
  • For example, a musician might choose to practice diligently not because they feel they have to (“I must practice 4 hours a day”), but because they value excellence in their craft and the joy it brings to themselves and others.
41
Q

NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE

A

NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE:
(1) Negative emotional response to a stimuli (anxiety) ⇨ Think about the stimulus (“I can’t keep up) = Develop a negative emotional response to the thoughts.
(2) In the future ⇨ Emotional response or stimuli ⇨ Trigger the same thoughts.
(3) Both cognitive and emotional responses become cues and often lead to forms of avoidance or worry and concentration loss (covert task disengagement).

42
Q

Intervention protocol MAP

A

(1) Educational phase:
Athletes begin to recognise external events (early cue detection) related to performance difficulties or blocks and their relationship to internal experiences (thoughts and emotions) and the behavioral choices that follow.

(2) Mindfulness phase:
Mindfulness techniques are introduced to heighten awareness of internal experiences (mindful awareness) and to develop non judging, present-moment attention.

(3) Values identification and commitment phase:
Introduction to cognitive defusion (process of disconnecting actions and behavioural choices from internal rules and experiences). The athlete learns to act in a manner consistent with valued goals, regardless of negative or distressing internal states.

(4) Acceptance phase:
Recognize the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

(5) Integration and practice phase:
The athlete integrates, consolidates, and practices mindfulness, acceptance, and commitment skills, integrating them daily into both sports and everyday life.

48
Q

Explain: PERSON-BY-PERSON INTERACTIONAL MODEL OF ANXIETY

A

The interaction of personal factors (self- esteem, social physique anxiety, and trait anxiety) and situational factors (event importance and uncertainty) is a better predictor of arousal, state anxiety, and performance than either set of these factors alone.

49
Q

Explain: BURNOUT

A
  • Emotional and physical exhaustion.
  • Loss of motivation.
  • Withdraw from activities (in severe cases).
  • A psychophysiological response due to frequent but generally ineffective efforts to meet excessive demands, involving loss of motivation and a
    psychological, emotional, and (sometimes) physical withdrawal from an activity in response to excessive stress or dissatisfaction.
50
Q

Explain: STALENESS

A
  • The physiological state of overtraining in which the athlete has difficulty maintaining standard training regimens and can no longer achieve previous
    performance results.
  • Staleness syndrome is an imbalance between training and recovery, exercise and exercise capacity, stress and stress tolerance. Stress is the sum of training and non-training stress factors.
  • A severe long-term effect of an imbalance between the total stressors (training and non-training) and total recovery, which is largely determined by the overall capacity (stress tolerance) of the individual.
  • Motivation is still present, but physical aspect is impacted.
51
Q

What are the 2 types of STALENESS?

A

(A) SYMPATHETIC FORM:
- ⬆ Sympathetic activity at rest.
- Sympathetic overtraining syndrome is an intermediate stage before parasympathetic overtraining.
- Markers associated with sympathetic overtraining are: ⬆ HR (resting and exercise).

(B) PARASYMPATHETIC FORM:
- ⬇ Sympathetic activity with parasympathetic activity dominating at rest and during exercise.
- Markers associated with parasympathetic overtraining are: ⬇ HR (resting and exercise).

52
Q

Explain: OVERREACHED according to the Overtraining-response Continuum

A
  • Overreached and staleness are regarded as opposite extremes of the overtraining-response continuum.
  • An athlete failing to recover within 72 hours has presumably negatively overtrained and is in an overreached state (a short term effect).
  • Short period of 72 hours -2 weeks of impaired performance.
53
Q

Explain: STALENESS according to the Overtraining-response Continuum

A
  • Overreached and staleness are regarded as opposite extremes of the overtraining-response continuum.
  • The long term effect (staleness) results from more severe overtraining, is at the other end of this continuum.
54
Q

Which factors may contribute to STALENESS?

A

(A) INADEQUATE RECOVERY.
(B) CATEGORIES OF STRESS:
- Different types of stress contribute to the total level of stress which may provoke.
- Psychological, social and physiological training stressors.
(C) CAPACITY OF STRESS TOLERANCE:
- Individuals who exhibit an elevated anxiety trait could therefore be regarded as having a lower capacity for tolerating stress and may be more likely to develop staleness (due to how they perceive and rate the intensity of a given stressor).

55
Q

what are the 4 types of recovery to approach OVERSTRESS?

A

(A) NUTRITION AND HYDRATION:
(B) SLEEP AND REST:
(C) RELAXATION AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT:
(D) STRETCHING AND ACTIVE REST:

56
Q

Why is nutrition and hydration an important aspect to recovery?

A
  • An inadequate diet lacking in calories and fluids, especially with reduced carbohydrate intake, can lead to a decreased ability to withstand the physiological stress associated with training.
  • People who do not consume enough carbohydrates to meet the energy needs of intense training often exhibit symptoms of staleness.
  • The replenishment of glycogen and fluid stores is necessary to tolerate frequent, intense bouts of training.
57
Q

Why is sleep and rest an important aspect to recovery?

A

(A) MUSCLE REPAIR AND GROWTH: During intense exercise, muscle fibers undergo microscopic damage. Rest periods, especially sleep, are when the body repairs these fibers.

(B) GLYCOGEN REPLENISHMENT: Exercise depletes glycogen stores, which is the primary source of energy for high-intensity workouts. Rest and sleep provide the body with time to replenish these glycogen stores, ensuring that energy is available for the next workout.

(C) REDUCTION OF FATIGUE AND INJURY RISK: Continuous training without proper rest can lead to overtraining syndrome.

58
Q

What is the term used to describe the state of being “not aroused at all” in the Arousal Continuum?

A

COMATOSE

59
Q

What is the body’s stress response to sustained sympathetic NS activation?
