It has been suggested that improvement in bodily awareness is a key mechanism of action for many movement therapies ( Mehling et al., 2011 ). Examples of these mind–body therapies include mindful movement, integrative exercise, movement-education approaches named after or by founding teachers (e

A recent review identified a wide range of factors that act as barriers to athlete engagement with mental health services, including stigma, lack of awareness, lack of time, and financial

strategy, WIXX awareness referred to the combination of ad recall and brand awareness. To assess ad recall, children were first asked if they had “seen, read, or heard any advertising on 9–13 year old kids’ PA in the last few weeks.” Those who answered “yes” and recalled the name of the campaign without

The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the long-term effects of mindful sport performance enhancement (MSPE), a program designed to improve athletic performance and psychological aspects of sport. One-year follow-up assessments were conducted on archers, golfers, and long-distance runners (N = 25) who attended Kaufman, Glass, and Arnkoff’s (2009) and De Petrillo, Kaufman, Glass, and Arnkoff’s (2009) MSPE workshops. Across the athlete groups, participants reported significant increases in the ability to act with awareness (an aspect of trait mindfulness) and overall trait mindfulness from pretest to follow-up, along with significant decreases in task-related worries and task-irrelevant thoughts (both aspects of cognitive interference during sport). The long-distance runners exhibited significant improvement in their mile times from pretest to follow-up, with significant correlations between change in runners’ performance and trait variables. Results suggest that MSPE is a promising intervention associated with long-term changes in trait variables that may contribute to optimal athletic performance.

largely unexplored. Mindfulness and Attitudes Mindfulness refers to a receptive attention to and awareness of present events and experience ( Brown & Ryan, 2003 ) and is a vital factor in forming and changing attitudes ( Palmerino, Langer, & McGillis, 1984 ; Shapiro, Carlson, Astin, & Freedman, 2006

It has been indicated that fitness app usage can have beneficial effects on health-related aspects partly connected with mental health, such as healthy eating, body awareness, and sedentary behavior (e.g., Schoeppe

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting brand awareness of virtual advertising in sports. Specifically, the study tested the effects of animation, repetition, baseball involvement, and team identification. An experiment using two Latin square designs was conducted to assess the effects of these factors on awareness levels. Results indicated no effect of animation, while effects of repetition, baseball involvement, and team identification were found to affect viewers’ cognitive responses. Managerial implications, limitations, and future research are discussed.
