A group coaching course for doctors under specialist training was evaluated. The course consisted of group coaching, theoretical presentations and practical exercises over a three-month period. The confidential forum of colleagues was of utmost importance, creating recognition and social support in contrast to the collegiate competitiveness of the workplace. The doctors found new ways of dealing with professional problems and acquired new communication skills. Further investigations are needed to decide whether group coaching should be offered to all trainees.

The interplay between individual capacities and group performance provides insights for different tasks and contexts. So far, little is known about the individual capacities of base and top gymnasts and mechanical efficiency during pair tasks of Acrobatic Gymnastics.

Background: In individuals with depression a vicious circle tends to occur in which depressive symptoms cause an unhealthy lifestyle, which reversibly causes an increase in depressive symptoms; both of which are associated with a decreased life expectancy. A potential way to break this circle entails a multicomponent lifestyle intervention (MLI).
Aim: Exploring the barriers and facilitators for an MLI in patients with depressive symptoms from the perspective of general practitioners (GP), chronic disease practice nurses (CD-PN), mental health nurses (MHN), lifestyle coaches (LC) and patients (PT).
Australian Football (AF) is a fast-paced contact invasion sport that requires players to execute a variety of kicks to effectively pass the football and score a goal. Current assessment of elite senior kicking skills in AF is confined to isolated and static skill tests that do not adequately represent match-like skill demands. The purpose of this study is to overcome the test design issues currently present in elite senior testing protocols, within the applied setting, and assess the validity and reliability of a modified Level-3 Australian football field-based dynamic kicking assessment (AFFB-DKA) for senior elite AF players.
