“…Both types of problems can be reduced, although not entirely overcome, with data collection enhancements. Recall failure can be reduced by using memory priming strategies and event history calendars to focus memory search (Drasch & Matthes, 2013). Conscious nondisclosure can be reduced by increasing anonymity; for example, by having respondents privately record sensitive information in a self-report booklet that is sealed before returning it to the interviewer or via private computerized self-administration (Gnambs & Kaspar, 2015).…”

Background: Although post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) onset-persistence is thought to vary significantly by trauma type, most epidemiological surveys are incapable of assessing this because they evaluate lifetime PTSD only for traumas nominated by respondents as their ‘worst.’ Objective: To review research on associations of trauma type with PTSD in the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) surveys, a series of epidemiological surveys that obtained representative data on trauma-specific PTSD. Method: WMH Surveys in 24 countries (n = 68,894) assessed 29 lifetime traumas and evaluated PTSD twice for each respondent: once for the ‘worst’ lifetime trauma and separately for a randomly-selected trauma with weighting to adjust for individual differences in trauma exposures. PTSD onset-persistence was evaluated with the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Results: In total, 70.4% of respondents experienced lifetime traumas, with exposure averaging 3.2 traumas per capita. Substantial between-trauma differences were found in PTSD onset but less in persistence. Traumas involving interpersonal violence had highest risk. Burden of PTSD, determined by multiplying trauma prevalence by trauma-specific PTSD risk and persistence, was 77.7 person-years/100 respondents. The trauma types with highest proportions of this burden were rape (13.1%), other sexual assault (15.1%), being stalked (9.8%), and unexpected death of a loved one (11.6%). The first three of these four represent relatively uncommon traumas with high PTSD risk and the last a very common trauma with low PTSD risk. The broad category of intimate partner sexual violence accounted for nearly 42.7% of all person-years with PTSD. Prior trauma history predicted both future trauma exposure and future PTSD risk. Conclusions: Trauma exposure is common throughout the world, unequally distributed, and differential across trauma types with respect to PTSD risk. Although a substantial minority of PTSD cases remits within months after onset, mean symptom duration is considerably longer than previously recognized.

“…Indeed, deliberate experience has already been identified as an effective way to aid the development of expertise (cf. Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2001;Ollis et al, 2006). As an example of structured trauma, athletes may be intentionally promoted to a level or squad that will be difficult for them to handle on a technical and tactical level (i.e., being exposed on some level is almost guaranteed).…”

“…Furthermore, in order to aid recall, and detail with respect to objective 1; athletes' were asked to provide a timeline sketch of their own progress against key tricks over the course of the past quadrennial (see Figure 1 for an example). This approach has been previously shown to increase the accuracy and veracity of recall (e.g., Drasch & Matthes, 2013;Ollis, MacPherson, & Collins, 2006). Finally, to specifically address objective 2, athletes and coaches were asked to weight training modalities and level of effort by completing an excel spreadsheet calculating % of time spent performing each modality, and identifying effort invested on a scale of 0 (zero effort) to 10 (maximal effort) to establish averages and variance across this sample (see Table 2).…”

This study offered a first examination of skill development within freeskiing and snowboarding, using semi-structured interviews to examine trick progression. Participants were purposefully recruited as performing at world top 8 level in 2014, the most recent Winter Olympic Games. A semi structured interview protocol, using a personalized progress chart, enabled the examination of trick progression across disciplines, with at least one participant from each of the events represented at the Games.Trick progression was achieved intermittently, moving through different stages during the year subject to experiencing the right conditions, training facilities, balancing time for progression with time for consolidation, competition periods and rehabilitating from injuries. There was high variance in the duration of trick progression between individuals and also high variance in the number of repetitions required in order to land a trick in competition. Imagery was a mental skill widely used and universally supported by our sample. Athletes and coaches should take directionality into consideration when planning their progression, ensuring all four directions are included and that pre-requisite manoeuvres are included in an athlete's training repertoire at the right stage in order to facilitate the learning of more complex manoeuvres at a later stage of development. Our data found a 60-40 balance between time-spent training on and off-snow, further research is required to determine the best combination of traditional strength and conditioning versus movement conditioning approaches, both from an injury prevention and a performance enhancement perspective.Keywords: training modalities, directionality, skill acquisition, Olympic, quadrennial, A retrospective analysis of trick progression in elite Freeskiing and SnowboardingIn an earlier paper, we highlighted the tensions inherent in the new Olympic disciplines of slopestyle and half-pipe freeskiing and snowboarding (Willmott & Collins, 2015).Specifically, the training challenge-athlete health balance was considered: a usual issue for most sports but a particular one for these high-risk disciplines. In this regard, Kotler (2014, p. vii) what are the levels of psycho-emotional loading which characterize elite athletes' development in this high-risk environment? How might differences in the developmental template across individuals inform and enhance practice? Accordingly, in order to inform coaches on the safe but optimum progression of athletes in these sports, a current and detailed picture is required.Providing further complication, evolution in the sport has resulted in an increased variety of training approaches and modalities, combined in a number of permutations and schedules.As a result, athletes and coaches have tended to either follow the anecdotal/biographical accounts of established elite athletes, or to be overly influenced by the waves of new but unspecific sport science support now available to move towards an apparently well-structured but, so far...
