Mood State Response to Massage and Subsequent Exercise Performance

A within subjects experimental design (N = 16) was used where participants performed a 30-s Wingate anaerobic cycling test (WAnT) after 30-min rest and after 30-min back massage. Mood State was measured before and after each intervention and after the WAnTs. No significant change in mood was detected following rest or massage. However, WAnT performance was better following massage compared to rest. Mood disturbance increased following the WAnT in both the rest and massage conditions. The results suggest that preperformance massage had no effect on mood state yet seemed to facilitate enhanced WAnT performance. The relationship between massage and anaerobic performance remains unclear, however is almost certainly mediated by preperformance psychological factors other than mood state.

Abstract Introduction The prevalence of mood disorders such as depression is higher in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Previous studies have found no significant correlation between the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and measures of mood and have only included participants who met diagnostic criteria for OSA. The current analysis sought to determine whether mood correlated with AHI in individuals with any AHI values including those that did not meet diagnostic criteria for OSA. Methods 31 volunteers were studied (BMI=29.2±1.0 kg/m2, mean±SE), free from medication and without psychiatric illness or chronic medical conditions with the exception of untreated OSA, uncomplicated hypertension (BP<160/100), or obesity. Following 1-3 weeks of an 8h habitual at home sleep schedule, participants completed the POMS-Brief questionnaire (POMS-B) to assess mood after undergoing overnight polysomnography to determine AHI. Total mood disturbance (TMD) scores were calculated by adding the scores on the POMS-B for each mood state subscale and subtracting the score for vigor-activity. Results The average AHI was 15.3±3.1 (range of 1.1-74.1) events per hour. The average POMS-B TMD score was 21±1.5 (range of 4-46). There was a significant correlation between the POMS-B TMD score and AHI (p=0.037, r2=0.14). This result was also seen in only those individuals with AHI scores >5 (p=0.002, r2=0.4). Conclusion In this sample, individuals with higher AHI values displayed higher TMD scores. These results differ from previous data that showed no significant correlation between AHI and TMD. This is the first analysis to demonstrate a correlation between TMD and AHI while including individuals who didn’t meet diagnostic criteria for OSA. However, the relationship between AHI and TMD was also significant in those with AHI>5. More data on these measures with larger sample sizes and a more equal representation of AHI values should be gathered to provide additional evidence for this relationship.

The Relationship

Dermatitis and eczema are described in terms of physiological, psychological, and behavioral characteristics in the sparse psychological literature on this phenomenon. Knowledge is quite limited. Lacking are prospective studies that might demonstrate whether the psychological and behavioral characteristics ate etiological and not merely descriptive. Given the number of persons estimated to experience symptoms of dermatitis (7 to 24 per 1000), further research is warranted on the relationship among dermatitis, scratching, and the psychological factors of stress, aggression, hostility, or other moods. Methodological suggestions and an experimental design are proposed.

Abstract Purpose The aims of this study were to (1) investigate the effect of hydrodilatation in frozen shoulder patients on objective indices of shoulder functionality and subjective outcomes of pain, mobility, kinesiophobia, depression, and anxiety, and (2) progress knowledge about the reciprocal temporal relationship between psychological parameters at baseline and objective and subjective outcomes at 3-month follow-up. Methods We evaluated the clinical and psychological status of 72 patients with a frozen shoulder before and after hydrodilatation, using the Constant Murley score, the Visual Analogue score, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Shoulder Pain And Disability Index. Results We noted a significant improvement in functionality, pain and disability (p < .001). Depression and anxiety improved significantly (p < .001) between baseline and 3-month follow-up. Prospective analyses demonstrated that psychological factors are more likely to predict outcomes of hydrodilatation than vice versa. Conclusion Hydrodilatation followed by physiotherapy is an excellent way to treat patients with recalcitrant frozen shoulder, resulting in a continuous improvement of ROM and pain. Physiotherapists and physicians should be aware that psychological factors might have an impact on the treatment outcome.

Competitive Swimmers

This study focused on the relationship between normal and abbreviated training sessions for young competitive swimmers and acute changes in mood. Several potential moderators of the relationship between exercise and mood also were examined. 25 girls and 23 boys, swimmers between the ages of 12 and 25 years, completed a shortened version of the Profile of Mood States before and after normal-distance and taper practices. An hypothesized interaction between distance training and acute changes in scores on Total Mood Disturbance was significant. During normal-distance practices, scores on Mood Disturbance increased from pre- to postpractice. Analyses of the individual subscales indicated that swimmers' scores increased for Fatigue and decreased for Vigor. In abbreviated practice sessions, athlete's scores on Total Mood Disturbance showed no change from pre- to postpractice. The specific subscales, however, showed positive changes for Depression, Confusion, and Tension. The mood changes related to practice distance were not influenced by the possible moderating factors of expectancy or performance times. Thus, even for highly trained competitive swimmers, exercising at or near maximal physical capability is associated with few positive changes in mood scores. Shorter-distance swims that do not tax endurance are preferable, if mood enhancement is a goal.

1AbstractA recent stream of alarmist publications has questioned the validity of published neuroimaging findings. As a consequence, fMRI teams worldwide have been encouraged to increase their sample sizes to reach higher power and thus increase the positive predictive value of their findings. However, an often-overlooked factor influencing power is the experimental design: by choosing the appropriate experimental design, the statistical power of a study can be increased within subjects. By optimizing the order and timing of the stimuli, power can be gained at no extra cost. To facilitate design optimization, we created a python package and web-based tool called Neurodesign to maximize the detection power or estimation efficiency within subjects, while controlling for psychological factors such as the predictability of the design. We implemented both a simulation-based optimisation, as well as an optimisation using the genetic algorithm, introduced by Wager and Nichols (2003) and further improved by Kao et al. (2009), to optimize the experimental design. The toolbox Neurodesign allows more complex experimental setups than existing toolboxes, while the GUI provides a more user-friendly experience. The toolbox is accessible online at www.neuropowertools.org.

The Relationship

This experiment investigated the relationship between mental rotation and sport training. Undergraduate university students (n = 62) completed the Mental Rotation Test ( Vandenberg & Kuse, 1978 ), before and after a 10-month training in two different sports, which either involved extensive mental rotation ability (wrestling group) or did not (running group). Both groups showed comparable results in the pretest, but the wrestling group outperformed the running group in the posttest. As expected from previous studies, males outperformed women in the pretest and the posttest. Besides, self-reported data gathered after both sessions indicated an increase in adaptive strategies following training in wrestling, but not subsequent to training in running. These findings demonstrate the significant effect of training in particular sports on mental rotation performance, thus showing consistency with the notion of cognitive plasticity induced from motor training involving manipulation of spatial representations. They are discussed within an embodied cognition framework.

Clinical Cases

In Uruguay, Lacanian ideas arrived in the 1960s, into a context of Kleinian hegemony. Adopting a discursive approach, this study researched the initial reception of these ideas and its effects on clinical practices. We gathered a corpus of discursive data from clinical cases and theoretical-doctrinal articles (from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s). In order to examine the effects of Lacanian ideas, we analysed the difference in the way of interpreting the clinical material before and after Lacan's reception. The results of this research illuminate some epistemological problems of psychoanalysis, especially the relationship between theory and clinical practice.
