There is little information on the effectiveness of exercises with self-management strategy in the motor function of MS patients; the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fundamental motor skills (FMS (training program on static balance of patients with MS with a self-management training approach. For this purpose, 32 patients with MS (12 males and 20 females) with average age (34.2 ± 3.5) were divided into experimental (n = 18) and control (n = 14) groups. Participants received a FMS program in the first month (12 sessions) and 1 hour per session. In the second month, 8 sessions of FMS training (4 weeks and 2 sessions per week) continued for the control group in an instructor-centered manner, but the experimental group continued the exercises in a self-managed manner. In the third month, participants continued their training sessions without the presence of an instructor for 8 sessions. At the beginning of each month and at the end of the third month, a single-leg stance test was taken to measure static balance. The results of analysis of covariance showed that the balance of the experimental group increased from the first to the second and third tests (p < /em> <0.001) and in the control group from the first to the third test decreased significantly (p < /em> <0.001). In addition, the experimental group showed more equilibrium time in the third test (p < /em> <0.001). Therefore, training in FMS with a self-management strategy can be used to rehabilitate the static balance function of MS patients.

The present study aimed to compare group metacognitive therapy (MCT) and group mindfulness, acceptance, and commitment (MAC) therapy as an acceptance-based behavioral therapy (ABBT) on competitive anxiety of anxious soccer players in the U-19 league in Tehran. Participants in this study were 60 soccer players who played at soccer leagues in Tehran. The participants entered the assessment stage; after obtaining informed consent, they were assigned randomly to one of the two experimental groups MCT and MAC, or the waiting-list control group. The participants completed the competitive state anxiety inventory-2 in the pre-test, post-test, and three-month follow-up stages. The results demonstrate MCT and MAC improve the levels of competitive anxiety among soccer players. Cognitive competitive state anxiety decreased by MCT and MAC, and somatic competitive state anxiety reduced by MAC. Accordingly, it concludes that probably anxious soccer players get the opportunity to gain advantages from such third wave’s interventions.

Physical limitations and lack of necessary physical skills are one of the main causes of behavioral problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a neurodevelopmental disorder with a significant prevalence. Motor exercises can affect a child's physical, perceptual, and behavioral problems. The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of selected perceptual-motor exercises on the behavioral problems of second level autistic boys aged 8 to 12 years. In a semi-experimental study, 16 boys with autism and an age range of 8 to 12 years were studied in one of the autism centers in Tehran. perceptual-motor exercises were performed for 6 weeks and 2 sessions in week. The behavioral problems questionnaire of Johannes was filled out by parents. Multivariate data analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention group and control group in the post-experimental frequency of self-harm behaviors, and stereotypes at the level (p < 0/001). There was also a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in post-test severity of self-harm behaviors and stereotypes (p < 0/05). The results showed that perceptual-motor exercises were effective in reducing the frequency and severity of ASD children's behaviors and self-harm behaviors. But these exercises did not significantly affect the aggressive behaviors of boys with ASD. Based on the findings of the present study, perceptual-motor exercises can be effective in reducing behavioral problems of autistic boys. It is recommended to be used as an appropriate intervention.

Self-talk is used to influence athletes' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therefore, the aim of this study is the effect of positive and negative self-talk on the level of competitive anxiety and performance of wushu practitioners in Shiraz. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest with control group. The statistical sample of the study included 30 semi-professional wushu practitioners aged 18 to 25 years in Shiraz who were randomly selected and assigned to two experimental and a control groups. Before performing the independent variable (positive and negative self-talk), the performance of wushu practitioners in two wushu jumping techniques (jumping and kicking and lotus jumping) and the level of competitive anxiety were measured using the Martinez et al. (1990) Competitive Anxiety Questionnaire. The two experimental groups (positive and negative self-talk) performed self-talk exercises (repetition of positive and negative sentences between training blocks) in 10 sessions (5 blocks of 10 trials). After the post-test stage, the data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results showed that the positive self-talk group reported less competitive anxiety after the intervention and the difference was significant (P = 0.001) and despite the lack of significant differences between the groups (P = 0.067, P = 0.087) and due to the differences in the mean, their performance has improved compared to the other two groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is better for athletes to perform various psychological and cognitive skills such as positive self-talk in addition to their sports exercises.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sports leisure and Corona Disease Anxiety among women in Shirvan. This research was carried out using correlation method. The statistical population of this study was 3200 attic women participating in sports activities over 15 years old. 401 people as samples were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling and data were collected using Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS) and a researcher-made sports leisure questionnaire. In this study, Pearson correlation test in p<0.05 were used. Analytical results showed that there was no relationship between sports leisure time and Corona Disease Anxiety among women. Also, there is no relationship between sports leisure and Corona Disease Anxiety and their components. There is a relationship between body mass index (BMI) and Corona Disease Anxiety (r = 0.251) and components of Corona Disease Anxiety, psychological symptoms (r = 0.257) and physical symptoms (r = 0.205) among women.Considering the significant relationship between BMI with coronary heart disease anxiety and its subscales among women, it is necessary to pay more attention to obesity and its consequences, including anxiety.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Neurofeedback on serve, spike and block jump skills of a group of Iranian elite men volleyball players. To this end, 20 Iranian volleyball players, having been previously invited to the National Iranian Team Training Camps over 3 consecutive years, were selected based on a non-random, subjective sampling method and were divided into two equal-sized experimental and control groups (i.e. 10 per group). Over the course of 21 sessions, the experimental group received neurofeedback training with theta suppression protocol and alpha increase and beta 3 suppression (18-35 Hz) in the first 20 minutes of each session and SMR increase and gamma increase in Cz in the following 10 minutes. While both groups performed the same general and specialized volleyball workouts under the supervision of the respective coach, pre-tests and post-tests were conducted for both groups before and after neurofeedback treatment. Mean and standard deviation were used for statistical description of data; Shapiro-Wilks Normality Test was employed to evaluate the normality of data distribution; and for inferential statistics, multiple analysis of covariance was utilized to control the pre-test effects. Based on the findings of this study, the use of 21 sessions course of neurofeedback training recommends for optimizing the accuracy of elite volleyball players in serve, spike and block jump, As well as in search of analyzed skills, this training is more effective on blocks jump more than other skills.
