Australian sport psychology was effectively “launched” in conjunction with the establishment of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in 1981. Prior to this date, sport psychology sat within the realm of a small number of research academics in tertiary institutions and many more unqualified practitioners with backgrounds in sport, hypnotherapy, medicine, and marketing and sales. The commencement of the legitimacy of the profession in the early 1980s correlated with the co-location of the AIS Sport Psychology Department with other sports medicine and sports science disciplines. From this rather humble but significant beginning, Australian sport psychology quickly became integrated into the training and competition plans of the vast majority of Australian Olympic sports and the developing professional football, tennis, golf, and cricket codes. The rapid growth of the AIS and its team of qualified and experienced sport psychology practitioners, combined with international competition exposure, international conference presentations, reciprocal visits to international sports institutes, and Olympic training centers culminated in the inclusion of sport psychology within the auspices of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the accreditation of undergraduate and postgraduate tertiary programs in Australian universities. Applied sport psychology services are now a regular inclusion in most, if not all, Australian sports programs. An increasing emphasis on athlete and coach mental health in conjunction with the performance enhancement capability associated with sport psychology support has firmly entrenched the profession within the Australian sporting milieu.

Abstract Since its introduction by B. A. Eriksen and C. W. Eriksen (Perception & Psychophysics, 16, 143–49, 1974), the flanker task has emerged as one of the most important experimental tasks in the history of cognitive psychology. The impact of a seemingly simple task design involving a target stimulus flanked on each side by a few task-irrelevant stimuli is astounding. It has inspired research across the fields of cognitive neuroscience, psychophysiology, neurology, psychiatry, and sports science. In our tribute to Charles W. (“Erik”) Eriksen, we (1) review the seminal papers originating from his lab in the 1970s that launched the paradigmatic task and laid the foundation for studies of action control, (2) describe the inception of the arrow version of the Eriksen flanker task, (3) articulate the conceptual and neural models of action control that emerged from studies of the arrows flanker task, and (4) illustrate the influential role of the arrows flanker task in disclosing developmental trends in action control, fundamental deficits in action control due to neuropsychiatric disorders, and enhanced action control among elite athletes.

Dopinghistorien som normativ og rekonstruerbar.Victory code, economics and politics as grounds for health dangers and infringement of rules – the history of doping and doping in the DDRDoping has a history – and that history can be reconstructed. This emerges from a sports science report on what was in part a depressing past in the DDR. This recognition, however, gives also cause for cheer. Like the historical debate in Germany about the understanding of sport under National Socialism, systems of doping and sports in the DDR, the pros and contras of the doping debate, have special significance. Recognition of normative tendencies (such as the Frankfurt school’s) permit at the same time also a value judgement and in that way provide help in not repeating mistakes already committed. In the best instances it can even succeed in correcting structural defects. Contemporary history as critical social science has an express enlightening role here and can at the same time to a considerable extent be action-oriented. That is to say, that its results can be used in practice.

This article presents the design, structure and methodology of a research project for the critical analysis of the history of German sports medicine. The project was supported for three years from 2015 to 2018 by the German Institute of Sports Science (BISp). Its results have already been published in part. This article deals with the mainly unpublished results. It includes the history of sports medicine in East Germany (former GDR), in which sports physicians were included in the state-ordered doping system; a critical analysis of German sports medicine between prevention and competitive sports; and the role and significance of doping and anti-doping for sports medicine in East, West and unified Germany.

The article features the changes and reforms in the sphere of physical culture and sport in 1980s. It focuses on the case of the All-Union amateur sports society of the labor unions of the Kemerovo region. During the perestroika period, this organization used to be the main controlling authority in the sphere of sport, together with the USSR State Committee for Physical Culture and Sports. The article introduces previously unpublished documents from the collections of the Museum of Physical Culture and Sports of Kuzbass. The authors also analyzed data on the personnel potential, sports facilities, and related positive and negative experience. They assessed the effectiveness of the reforms and periodization of the history of the local physical culture movement. The analysis contributes to a better understanding of the history of physical culture, which is one of the important scientific directions of sports science. The obtained results can facilitate sport officials in planning a better road map for public sports.
