“…However, as noted above, these high expectancy scores did not correlate with the magnitude of changes in the dependent measures. A similar pattern of exercise response was recently reported by Laki, Ihász, and Szabo (2022) in adolescent basketball players and earlier in cheerleaders (Kovacsik & Szabo, 2019). Hence, the mere anticipation of exercise could influence pre-exercise core affect.…”

Background and aims: Aquatic exercises are popular leisure activities worldwide, primarily among women. These activities are especially beneficial for aging people and individuals having difficulties performing land-based exercises. Their physical health benefits have already been documented in the academic literature, but research on their mental health effects is still non-existent. However, leisure exercises promoting mental health are advantageous in a fast-paced and often stressful world. Therefore, in this in-situ (natural life setting) field study, we examined the acute mental benefits of aquatic exercises in 30 voluntary consenting women having a mean age of 57.57 (SD = 12.67) years. Methods: Using a within-participants research design, the subjectively perceived feeling states and felt arousal, along with positive and negative affect, were recorded before and after exercise. Moreover, the personal expectancies regarding the expected feelings after exercise were assessed before the workout to determine the influence of anticipation effects. Results: The findings revealed that core affect and positive affect improved substantially from before to after exercise (p < .001), as confirmed by the large effect sizes (Cohen’s d > 0.80). Negative affect decreased nonsignificantly (p = .062), but it was already low before exercise. Although expectancy scores were high before the exercise class, they did not correlate (p > .05) with the dependent measures’ magnitude of changes (pre-class – post-class scores). Conclusions: These findings suggest that women who participate in an aquatic exercise class report experiencing significant positive changes in their feelings, demonstrating this popular exercise’s acute mental health benefits. Although further controlled research is needed in this area, the current results have promising implications for middle-aged women’s mental health preservation and promotion.

“…A number of authors also indicate the presence of specific features in the processes of higher nervous activity in students of "humanities" and "naturalists": humanitarian professions require greater development of an artistic type of thinking, and technical professions require greater development of a logical type of thinking. Modern authors distinguish several interdependent types of thinking, properties of the nervous system and inclination to humanitarian or technical activities [13][14][15][16].…”

Background and purpose. At the current stage, the importance of training basketball players during their studies at higher education institutions is growing. After all, it is precisely at the age of 18-25 years, which coincides with the age of studying at the university, that the highest rate of increase in sports achievements of basketball players is observed. But combining sports training with professional development, which requires studying at a university, has difficulties. It is difficult for the coach to take into account the psychological and psychophysiological characteristics of the students of the basketball team. Such features include the properties of the nervous system, its mobility, lability, strength, endurance, as well as the type of thinking based on the predominance of the right or left hemisphere of the brain, that is, imaginative (artistic) or logical (mental). Purpose: to develop and experimentally justify the methodology of training basketball teams of humanitarian higher educational institutions, taking into account the psychophysiological capabilities of the players. Material and methods. 23 students - players of the national basketball team H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University. Athletes were divided into 2 groups, control (n=12) and experimental (n=11). In the experimental group, a specially developed technology for training basketball players was used, taking into account the peculiarities of the nervous system and the type of thinking of students of humanitarian universities, that is, high mobility and lability and low endurance of the nervous system with a predominance of the artistic type of thinking. The technology included exercises for the development of speed qualities in combination with informational means of influencing the perception of technical and tactical elements in basketball. Research methods: analysis of modern literature, methods of determining the physical and technical level of athletes, methods of determining the level of attention, methods of determining the ability to concentrate and switch attention, methods of statistical analysis. Results. In the study, based on the results of the literature analysis, the psychophysiological features of students of humanitarian universities were determined. These features consist in the predominance of mobility and lability of the nervous system over endurance. On the basis of these data, a method of training basketball teams of humanitarian higher educational institutions was developed. Special informational methods of influence on the perception of basketball players of humanitarian higher educational institutions of the elements of basketball technique and tactics have been developed. These methods correspond to the imaginative, artistic type of thinking of students of humanitarian universities and the peculiarities of their nervous system - high mobility and lability in combination with a low level of endurance development. Conclusions. The method of training basketball players of student teams, based on the psychophysiological characteristics of students of humanitarian universities, is effective for improving the level of special physical fitness of players, as well as the technical and tactical skills of basketball students of humanitarian universities.

Purpose: to theoretically substantiate and experimentally verify the method of integral development of coordination and cognitive abilities of young basketball players 6-7 years old.Material and methods. The following research methods were used in the work: theoretical analysis of scientific special literature, methods of movement tests, methods of psychophysiological testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The developed method of integral development of coordination and cognitive abilities can be used during training in groups of initial basketball training.Results. In the experimental group, the increase in indicators was significant (p<0.05) according to the results of four tests out of five. Only in the test "sense of time (5 seconds), deviation s" the difference between the results before the experiment and after the experiment was not reliable (p>0.05). The difference between the test results of the control and experimental groups after the experiment turned out to be significant (p<0.05) in three out of five tests.Conclusions. The positive influence of the experimental method on the results of psychophysiological testing was revealed. In the experimental group, the time of PZMR decreased by 7.56% from 426.83 ± 38.55 ms to 394.58 ± 37.06 ms (р<0.05), the time of PZMR in the test "Choosing two elements from three" - by 8.42% from 529.33 ± 45.17 ms to 484.75 ± 47.86 ms (p<0.05). The result in the "Selection of a point in space" test improved by 8.02% from 21.83 ± 1.95 to 23.58 ± 1.93 (р<0.05). The number of errors during tests has decreased. If these changes were found to be unreliable when performing the test for PMSMR (p>0.05), then the number of errors during the performance of the test "Choosing two elements out of three" decreased by 18.2% from 5.5 ± 1 to 4.5 ± 0 .9 errors (p<0.05). In the control group, the increase in all indicators was found to be unreliable (p>0.05).
