“…To support this assertion, Pieter et al (2006) identified decrements that were associated with anger and tension before running competitions. In line with these findings were results obtained by Esfahani et al (2011) who found that tension, depression and vigour had strong relationships with the performance of basketball players.…”

“…Studies of the effect of mood states on athletes’ performances have contributed significantly to the knowledge and practice of psychology of sport in recent years (Lane et al, 2007). Although many athletes have good performances in practice sessions, during competitions not all are able to transfer their practice session capabilities and abilities to the competitive forum (Esfahani et al, 2011). Lane et al (2010) have suggested that this reduction in the performance outcome is related to negative mood states due to reduction of motivation, concentration and other sports-related mental skills.…”

This study investigated the relationship between pre-competition mood state factors in gymnastics by gender, age and a national ranking. Participant-gymnasts (total n=116, male n=49, female n=67) completed a Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) one day prior to their main competition of the year. Information was also gathered from gymnasts of gender, age and a national ranking. Consistent with theoretical predictions, results confirmed that a number of pre-competition mood states differed by age with both juniors and seniors having a higher level of anger than children (p<.05 respectively). Also, seniors demonstrated higher tension than children (p<.001). However, only anger showed significant differences by gender with male gymnasts demonstrating higher levels of anger than female gymnasts (p<.05), and with international gymnasts registering higher levels of anger compared with second class gymnasts (p<.05). Authors suggest that future research should investigate relationships between the pre-competition mood in other gymnastics-related disciplines and sports, as well as competitive performances.

“…On the other hand, some people might be stressed if they do not have access to their mobile phone or laptop. We should not forget that some might experience the use of electronic media (eg, to read or to listen to music) as calming [21].…”

“…Anxiety increases agitation and arousal, which make it hard to sleep. Stress also affects sleep by making the body aroused, awake, and alert [21]. People who are under constant stress or who have abnormally exaggerated responses to stress tend to have sleep problems.…”

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout our life. Getting enough sleep at the right times can help protect our mental health, quality of life and safety. In children and teens sleep also helps in growth and development. Getting enough quality sleep at right times help us function well throughout the day [1]. People who are sleep-deficient are less productive at work, colleges and especially in the sports they practice. After several nights of losing sleep our ability to function suffers [2].Lack of sleep may lead to micro sleep. Micro sleep refers to brief moments of sleep that occur when you are normally awake.

“…We can talk today about a coherent system of ideas on the sports group psychology. Most research on the small sports group focuses on the system of preferential relationships, the team cohesion and dynamics (Carron, Bray, & Eys, 2002;Esfahani, Soflu, & Assadi, 2011), the leadership typology and task cohesion (Smith, Arthur, Hardy, Callow, & Williams, 2013) or on cohesion, intra-team communication and team member satisfaction and desire to remain (Onağ & Tepeci, 2014). Building a homogeneous, cohesive sports group is one of the priority objectives in the activity carried out by the teacher-coach, because, as stated by Carron et al (2002), the connection between cohesion and performance is reciprocal, meaning that strong cohesion increases team performance, and team success increases group cohesion.…”

This study brings to the attention of field specialists the importance of group theory in the practice of performance sport by rhythmic gymnastics teams. The topic addressed is part of a longitudinal experimental research conducted on the national group team and illustrates the optimal training concept. The instructional strategies identified, studied and assessed in this research focused on the major operational objectives of high-performance sports activity and circumscribed around three defining aspects of sporting success: the individual, the group and the organisation of training. Starting from the premise according to which building a homogeneous, cohesive sports group is a priority objective of the activity carried out by teachers-coaches, we aimed to establish the criteria regarding the formation, development and manifestation of the rhythmic gymnastics sports group and to identify interpersonal relationships within the team, in terms of cohesion factors. Such an approach will finally allow the implementation of efficient action-oriented and ameliorative methods in order to make up a homogeneous and cohesive group and achieve the proposed performance objectives. The technique used to measure the expression of group relationships was the sociometric one. The obtained results highlight the group cohesion and dynamics, as well as the existence of homogeneity imposed by both the specificity of the event and the training activity, which lasts long and is much more intense than sports competition.
