    Analyzing the psychological variables linked to performance in beach volleyball: an integrative review and practical recommendations
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Costa, Yago; Silva, Bianca stefanny Lopes da; Miarka, Bianca; Soares Silva, Elizabeth Lourdes; Ricarte Batista, Gilmário
    Beach volleyball is an important team sport in which physical, technical, tactical,and psychological/social aspects are fundamental to sporting performance. However, this is the first review to analyse scientific production on psychological variables in beach volleyball. This is an integrative review in which a systematic search was carried out in five electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus/EBSCO, SciELO, Scopus and BIREME) until September 2022. The terms used were "beach volleyball" OR "voleibolde praia" OR "vôlei de praia". In addition, the search included research with athletes, acute and chronic outcomes, and studies of various methods (e.g.,experimental, observational) involving psychological variables. The initial search identified 652 articles, and after the manual search and application of the inclusion criteria, 18 studies were integrated into a final synthesis.Most of the studies were published between 2011 and 2022 (n= 14; 77.78%). Observational design was the main method used (n= 10; 55.56%). The studies were grouped into nine major topics for synthesis: stress situation, activation levels, concentration, goal orientation and motivation, mental fatigue and performance, anxiety,and performance, discouraging environments, relationships between team members, coping strategies. In general, social relationships and self-control appear significant for performance; thus,coaches must serve as role models for players and sports psychologists can aid in monitoring psychological variables, team dynamics, and develop psychological skills.

    The mental fatigue impaired beach volleyball attack technical-tactical performance: a crossover and randomized study
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2024) Costa, Yago; Domingos Gomes, Jarbas; Lima-Junior, Dalton de; Lanzoni, Ivan; Batista, Giklmário
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mental fatigue on the technical-tactical performance of beach volleyball players. Twelve males young beach volleyball players (16.1 ± 0.9 years old)were recruited to participate in this crossover and randomized study. The simulated match was performed under two conditions (control: 30 min without performing cognitive activities; mental fatigue: 30 min performing Stroop Task). The match is recorded and technical-tactical performance was calculated (coefficient of performance and/or efficiency of serve, serve reception, set, attack, block, and dig actions). The mental fatigue was “moderate” after Stroop Task, and statistically significant compared to the control condition [Mental fatigue: 62.5mm ± 8.8 Vs. Control: 6.4mm ± 4.1; p=.0001; ES: 0.9 (moderate effect)]. Moreover, attack coefficient of performance and efficiency was lower in mental fatigue condition that control condition (CP: Mental Fatigue= 1.5 ± 0.4 Vs. Control= 2.3 ± 0.2, p= .001; Eff: Mental Fatigue= 23.7 ± 7.0 Vs. Control= 36.0 ± 9.5; p=.004). In conclusion, mental fatigue impaired attack performance of beach volleyball players (one of the main key to win in this sport). Thus, is recommended avoid cognitive tasks or high cognitive effort before training and matches.
