Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interest in the subject of mood and emotion expertise has a long history in the sport, cognitive and medical sciences. Mood state refers to a host of transient, fluctuating affective states that indicate how individuals feel overall at a particular moment in time. Emotions also play a central role in sport performance. Accordingly, it is important that athletes are able to draw on a range of strategies to improve emotional control. Different biological and psychological markers have been used to optimize competitive preparation. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to assemble either applied or theoretical research from experts within the field of all forms of sport performance—e.g., biomechanics, physiology, exercise, talent identification, and psychology—on the effects of exercise on mood and emotional states. Works can be experimental or computational. Reviews and papers on education and ethical issues are also welcome. We encourage interdisciplinary paper submissions concerning the following areas:
- Cognitive, biological and physiological processes for enhancing performance;
- Motor performance cognitive impact throughout development;
- Emotional and motor components in sport performance;
- The effects of personality traits on sport performance;
- The efficacy of using imagery to enhance sport performance;
- The effect of mood states on performance;
- Motion and postural analysis.
