“…This pattern of relation can work also for athletes, but no studies examine the relation between the more general aspects of self-compassion and repetitive thinking in relation to the trait competition anxiety in this population. There is only one study in which the relation of selfcompassion and repetitive thinking has been investigated in semi-professional football players on fear of the future in the coronavirus pandemic (Jansen, 2021). The results showed that fear of the future was only indirectly predicted by self-compassion due to the mediating effects of repetitive thinking.…”

Due to the promising effect of self-compassion interventions in sports, it was the main goal of this study to investigate, if two aspects of repetitive thinking, worry and rumination, mediate the possible relation of self-compassion on competition anxiety of women and men in different types of sport (team-vs. individual sport). Two hundred and ninety-three athletes participated, 127 were soccer players, 103 handball players, and 63 athletes practiced an individual sport. They completed four questionnaires of sport competition anxiety, rumination, worry, and self-compassion. The results showed that for both rumination and worry, women had higher values than men and individual athletes had higher values than athletes from team sport. Women had higher values in the negative scale of selfcompassion compared to men, and individual athletes and handball players had lower values than soccer players. The result of a mediation analysis demonstrated that the relation between the negative scale of self-compassion and the somatic anxiety and concern aspect of competition anxiety was mediated by worry.

“…Studies were identified that investigated soccer athletes and other less frequent outcomes, such as coping, resilience, psychological distress, and fear caused by the pandemic ( Jansen, 2021 ; Lima et al, 2021 ; Katanic et al, 2022 ; Kobal et al, 2022 ; Vitali et al, 2022 ). All health outcomes identified in the studies included in this review and their frequencies are shown in Figure 3 .…”

“…In addition, the complex psychosocial situation of confinement has caused important changes and serious damage to the quality and quantity of training of athletes, and these factors have brought many uncertainties about the future of the sports environment ( Andreato et al, 2020 ). Factors such as the abrupt change in their daily routine, the home confinement measures adopted, and uncertainty about the date of return to activities can lead athletes to experience conditions that affect their mental health, including external sources of distress, anxiety, mood swings, and other concerns and tensions ( Evli et al, 2020 ; Jansen, 2021 ; Romdhani et al, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionInvestigation of the psychological impact on soccer athletes during the pandemic is essential given their unique challenges, including training disruptions and competition postponements. Understanding these effects will allow the development of specific strategies to preserve the mental health and performance of elite athletes, contributing to effective interventions with both short and long-term benefits.ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological aspects and mental health of elite soccer athletes.MethodThe review adhered to PRISMA criteria, and the study protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022341545). Searches were conducted until July 2023 in databases including Cochrane, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Only original, peer-reviewed studies in English, Portuguese, or Spanish assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological aspects and mental health of elite soccer athletes were included.ResultsThe search identified 1,055 records and 43 studies were included in this review between 2020 and 2023. In total, the sample included 16,321 soccer athletes of different age groups. Anxiety, depression, mood states, and mental well-being were the most investigated variables. Increased levels of anxiety, depression, and worsening mental well-being were observed in elite soccer athletes. Maintaining fitness during the pandemic showed positive results. Other variables, such as coping, resilience, and sleep quality monitoring, were less widely investigated. Evaluating methodological quality was considered regular for observational and experimental studies.ConclusionThe study reveals a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elite soccer athletes, considering psychological aspects and their mental health, notably heightened anxiety and depression. Observational methods predominated, showing mood swings linked to individual characteristics and fitness maintenance efforts. Studies with better-designed methodological approaches and controlled experimental interventions are recommended in the future to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on soccer players.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?, identifier (CRD42022341545).

“…It is a new finding that only the negative scale of self-compassion is relevant for detecting a relation to some aspects of body image. However, in a study with German football players, it has also been shown that only the negative but not the positive scale of self-compassion was related to psychological variables (Jansen, 2021 ), which gives a hint, that the relevance of both scales has to be investigated in more depth. Finally, the predicting factor of the actual-ideal weight discrepancy on body image is in line with the study of Swami et al ( 2008 ).…”

Implicit and explicit attitudes influence our behavior. Accordingly, it was the main goal of the paper to investigate if those attitudes are related to body image satisfaction. 134 young women between 18 and 34 years completed an explicit affective rating and an implicit affective priming task with pictures of women with different BMIs. Because it is well known that mindfulness, self-compassion and social media activity influence body image satisfaction, these variables were registered as well. The results confirmed an explicit positive affective bias toward pictures of slim women and a negative bias toward emaciated and obese body pictures. It adds to the literature that the explicit positive bias does not hold true for the strongest form of underweight, suggesting that instead of dividing different body shapes into two groups, different gradings of under- and overweight should be considered. Concerning the affective priming task, no significant differences between the different pictures could be carved out. Implicit and explicit affective attitudes were not related to the body satisfaction of the participating women. In line with former studies, body satisfaction was predicted by the actual-ideal weight discrepancy, the BMI, aspects of mindfulness and self-compassion. This study indicates that implicit and explicit affective attitudes toward underweight and overweight women are unrelated to the participants’ body satisfaction.
