Methods: A sample of 100 adult women from Tabriz was selected for this study. They were divided into two homogeneous groups: an active group (n=50) and an inactive group (n=50). Cluster sampling was used to select the participants. The variables of this study were measured using the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), the short form of the physical self-descriptive questionnaire developed by Marsh et al. (PSDQ-S), three physical readiness tests, and body mass index. Independent t-tests were used to compare eating attitudes and physical self-perception between the two groups. MANOVA was used to compare the subscales of these variables. Paired-samples t-tests were used to compare the Z scores of objective and subjective physical-motor fitness. Results: The results showed that the active group had significantly lower rates of eating disorders (P=0.0001), higher mean scores of physical self-perception (P=0.001), higher levels of physical readiness (P=0.0001), and a stronger correlation between objective and subjective physical-motor fitness. Conclusion: Based on the significant differences found in the results, it can be concluded that physical activity can be effective in reducing eating disorders and promoting positive and realistic physical self-perception in adult women.

Methods: The study included 36 participants (mean age 14.2±3.33) who were randomly divided into three groups of 12. Each group practiced futsal skills based on their specific circumstances. In the stereotyped condition, participants were initially told that men are better than them, but in the next step, they were informed that their performance was actually better than men. They were encouraged by the feedback that they were better than men. Results: The analysis of covariance for both variables revealed a significant difference between the three groups in terms of promoting motivation and self-efficacy (p < 0.05). Specifically, the stereotyped group showed greater improvement compared to the non-stereotyped group, and the non-stereotyped group showed greater improvement compared to the control group. Conclusion: Overall, our findings indicate that stereotyped conditions, when accompanied by positive analytical motivational feedback, can positively impact women's motivation and self-efficacy. Coaches can utilize these techniques in training and sports environments to enhance motivation and self-efficacy among athletes and promote their active lifestyles.

Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 47 adolescent girls were divided into two groups based on their trait anxiety scores: high and low. They were then placed into two training groups, one in a competitive environment and the other in a non-competitive environment, based on their pre-test scores. Participants in the experimental groups underwent BFT training for 8 sessions. Pre-test, acquisition, and retention tests were administered before the intervention, during the exercise sessions, and after the last acquisition session, respectively. Data analysis involved the use of one-way ANOVA and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results indicated that there was no significant difference in BFT performance between the groups during the acquisition and immediate retention phases. However, a significant difference was found between the groups in the delayed retention test. Specifically, training in a competitive environment led to better performance in participants with both high and low trait anxiety. The competitive environment had a stronger positive effect on participants with low trait anxiety, followed by those with high trait anxiety. Conclusion: The training environment, rather than the level of trait anxiety, significantly influenced participants' performance in BFT. Both individuals with high and low trait anxiety performed better in a competitive training environment.

It is well-known that an athlete's performance is influenced not only by their physical strength and athletic skills, but also by their mental strength. Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest measurements. The statistical population consisted of female taekwondo practitioners in Mashhad, and a total of 40 individuals were randomly assigned to two groups. The Theodorakis and Papaiano (2008) Automated Self-Speaking Questionnaire and the Barat et al. (2004) Impulsivity Questionnaire were used to collect data. The combined training group participated in 12 sessions of 90 minutes each, which included both physical and psychological exercises. The control group, on the other hand, only engaged in physical training. Data analysis was conducted using the Levene's test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and one-way analysis of covariance, with a significance level set at less than 0.05. Results: The results showed that combined exercises had a significant effect on the self-talk and impulsivity of taekwondo practitioners (p = 0.001). Comparing the average scores of the two groups in the post-test stage, it can be concluded that combined physical and psychological exercises increased self-talk and decreased impulsivity among taekwondo practitioners. Conclusion: These findings suggest that taekwondo technical staff can incorporate combination exercises into their training sessions, considering the individual differences of the athletes. By doing so, they can address both the physical and psychological aspects of training.

Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental intervention design, with a pretest and posttest control group. The participants were 84 children living in Qom, who were randomly divided into 6 groups. There were two age groups, each consisting of three groups: UNICEF, UNICEF Plus, and a control group. The intervention involved 18 sessions of UNICEF-proposed quadruple games. The UNICEF Plus group also engaged in a semi-structured interview to stimulate metacognition. Results: The results of the Mixed ANOVA and ANCOVA tests indicated that most of the training groups showed a significant improvement in health test results from pretest to posttest. However, the ANCOVA test did not reveal any significant difference between the UNICEF and UNICEF Plus groups in the two age groups; despite the UNICEF Plus group scoring better than the UNICEF group in both age groups. Conclusion: Overall, it can be concluded that the exercises recommended by UNICEF were effective in promoting children's health. Although the combination of these exercises with metacognitive strategies did not meet expectations, there was a slight improvement in children's health favoring the combined exercises.

Results: The findings indicated that the indirect path coefficients between metacognitive beliefs and health anxiety, as well as between intolerance of uncertainty and health anxiety, through the mediators of physical activity and worry, were positive and statistically significant (P< 0.01). Conclusion: Designing psychological and training interventions that simultaneously target worry regulation and the promotion of an active lifestyle may contribute to improving athletes’ mental health. Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the fit of a structural model examining the mediating role of physical activity and worry in the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and intolerance of uncertainty with health anxiety in athletes. Methods: This research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population consisted of all student-athletes in the city of Arak. A sample of 320 participants was selected using a convenience sampling method.

Journal Article 2022 05 29 Purpose: The present study aimed to model the mediating role of interpersonal problems in the relationship between attachment styles and narcissistic personality traits among athletes. Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational, and the study had an applied purpose. The statistical population consisted of all athletes residing in Tehran. The sample included 250 participants who were selected via convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire, the Adult Attachment Scale, and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: The results indicated that the indirect path coefficient between the avoidant attachment style (β=0.169, P<0.01) and the anxious attachment style (β=0.110, P<0.01) with narcissistic personality traits was significantly positive and statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Conclusion: The findings suggest that attention to interpersonal problems and insecure attachment styles plays an important role in identifying and understanding the development of narcissistic traits. Therefore, designing psychological interventions focused on improving interpersonal skills and emotion regulation may help reduce interpersonal difficulties and promote athletes’ mental health.
