can be across the metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioural dimensions ( Ang et al., 2007 ). Although coaches are commonly trained in technical and tactical aspects of the game as well as psychology and physiology, they rarely receive cross-cultural training ( Callary et al., 2014
Do We Allow Elderly Pedestrians Sufficient Time to Cross the Street in Safety?
Eli Carmeli, Raymond Coleman, H. Llaguna Omar, and Dawn Brown-Cross
The timings of pedestrian crosswalk signals are usually determined by traffic engineers, based on data from gait-speed trials, which might not take into consideration environmental factors or the special needs of elderly pedestrians. The authors carried out a study on a selected population of elderly south Florida residents (mean age 82.7 years) that showed slower crossing times with an outdoor simulated street crossing than with an indoor crossing. The gait-velocity trials indicate that timing of crosswalk signals might be inappropriate and might need readjusting to improve pedestrian safely for the elderly.

Cross-education refers to the transfer of training effects (ie, motor control, strength, endurance, skill, and acceleration) following a period of unilateral exercise training of a trained limb to a homologous untrained limb ( 17 , 19 , 20 , 25 , 32 ) and has been identified in various populations
Pacing Strategy and Tactical Positioning During Cyclo-Cross Races
Arthur H. Bossi, Ciaran O’Grady, Richard Ebreo, Louis Passfield, and James G. Hopker
Cyclo-cross is a competitive discipline that demands from the athletes a mix of road and off-road cycling and running abilities. Races consist of many laps (∼1 h in total) of a short course (∼3 km) comprising pavement, sand, wooded trails, grass, steep hills, and built obstacles. Often, the circuit
Runner’s Health Choices Questionnaire: Male College Cross-Country Runners’ Perspectives on Health and Eating
Laurie Stickler, Hayley Hall, and Barb Hoogenboom
Although running is a common form of exercise for many men and women throughout the lifespan, competitive cross-country runners train at much higher loads and with greater demands than recreational runners. Competitive running also poses a unique set of physiological and psychological challenges
Symptoms of Overtraining in Resistance Exercise: International Cross-Sectional Survey

overtraining in resistance exercise. The study participants were drawn from a convenience sample and restricted to competitive resistance-based athletes; therefore, the findings cannot be generalized to noncompetitive athletes or endurance athletes. In addition, this study adopted a cross-sectional design
Using Simple Interactions to Improve Pedagogy in a Cross-Aged Leadership Program
Michael A. Hemphill and Tom Martinek
Cross-aged teaching programs often represent “the beginning of developing leadership qualities that influence others to be responsible, caring, and compassionate human beings” ( Martinek & Hellison, 2009 , p. 76). Several examples of cross-aged teaching in the context of physical activity are
