“…18,19 Various studies differentiate between emotional expressions across diverse cultures and underscore differences in the translation process and suggest that it remains unclear whether it is necessary to represent distinct emotions based on cultural variations or if the same emotion can be conveyed using different words. 20 Therefore, having instruments adapted to each culture through a content-validation strategy that considers lexical and cultural variations 21,22 would be very useful for research. 23,24 This concept aligns with the International Society for Sport Psychology (ISSP) position, 25 emphasizing that, while sports psychology professionals acknowledge the multicultural nature of the sporting environment, the conventional approach to studying sports has remained rooted in an ethnocentric perspective, often treating coaches as universally understood entities.…”

Coaches’ emotional expression significantly influences sport environments and is mediated by the social and cultural construction of emotions. Therefore, this study aims to culturally adapt the Assessment of Coach Emotions for the Spanish sports context (ACE-E), provide evidence of its validity and reliability, and propose a suitable model for adapting observation instruments. The study involved coaches, sports psychologists, experts who study emotions, linguists, and translators. It was conducted in three phases. First, a literature review was conducted, and four coaches were interviewed. Secondly, the necessary linguistic and content changes were implemented. Finally, the ACE-E was tested by coding and analyzing 500 min of recordings of eight coaches’ performance and evaluated for reliability, usefulness, and feasibility. The results show that ACE-E receives the same support for validity and reliability as the original instrument in the English language, demonstrating the effectiveness of its cultural adaptation for assessing the emotional expression of Spanish coaches.

Background: Low rates of participation and quality of life (QoL) and high rates of psychological distress are common in spinal cord injury (SCI) population. Research has supported the mediating role of self-efficacy and functionality in improving psychosocial outcomes. Furthermore, evidence supports the impact of physical activity (PA) on psychosocial variables, but little is known about the types and intensities of PA. The objective of this study was to determine whether functionality and/or general self-efficacy (GSE) mediate the relationships between the various types of PA: (1) lifestyle and (2) leisure-time physical activity (LTPA); and various intensities of PA: (1) mild, (2) moderate, and (3) heavy PA with participation, psychological distress, and perception of QoL. Methods: The Physical Activity Recall Assessment for SCI, and measures of functionality, GSE, participation, psychological distress, and perception of QoL were administered to 159 participants. Path analysis was performed using Jeffrey’s Amazing Statistics Program. Results: GSE significantly mediated, and functionality partially significantly mediated, the relationship between LTPA and psychosocial outcomes. GSE and functionality did not mediate the relationship between lifestyle activity and psychosocial outcomes. Conclusions: It is recommended that people with SCI perform LTPA on a regular basis to achieve psychosocial benefits. These programs should be accompanied by strategies to improve GSE.

Physical activity (PA) provides great health benefits for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Consequently, the design and implementation of PA interventions addressed to this population is needed. To rigorously evaluate these interventions, the use of valid and comprehensive PA measures is crucial. Since the suitability of PA assessment tools might differ among different populations, and considering that questionnaires are one of the most frequently used tools to quantify PA, the purpose of this comparative review was to examine nine questionnaires that have been used to assess PA in people with SCI. All the questionnaires were analyzed in depth in regard to three main dimensions: (1) SCI-specific development; (2) PA domains measured and PA intensity classification; and (3) reliability and validity. After careful consideration of the evidence available on all these aspects, it is suggested that the most suitable questionnaires to be used in PA research in the SCI population are the PARA-SCI and the LTPAQ-SCI[R]. To conclude, the strengths and limitations of these two questionnaires are discussed, and specific recommendations to SCI researchers and practitioners regarding the suitability, according to the context and characteristics, of the research/intervention are provided.
