February 2023
Faculty of Sport Sciences, 13148Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.
In this two-part study, we addressed psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ-J). We analyzed the SIAQ-J factor structure, assessed gender, competitive level, sport type and years of experience differences on the SIAQ-J, and we investigated whether the SIAQ-J was predicted by goal clarity. In Study 1, we translated the original SIAQ (15 items) into Japanese and performed an exploratory factor analysis ( = 366).

Sleep Research Institute, 13148Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.
In the present study, we aimed to explore the effects of sleep restriction (SR) on self-reported golf putting skills. Eleven collegiate golfers participated in a self-reported, counterbalanced experimental study under two conditions: (a) a SR condition in which sleep on the night prior to putting was restricted to 4-5 hours, and (b) a habitual normal sleep (NS) condition on the night before the putting test. Following each sleep condition, participants engaged in ten consecutive putting tests at 7 am, 11 am, and 3 pm.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed how long-term participation in para-sports affects brain reorganization in the primary motor cortex (M1) of lower limb amputees, building on previous findings from a single Paralympic athlete.
- - Using functional MRI, researchers evaluated 30 lower limb amputees and found that those with more years of para-sports experience showed increased brain activity in areas related to motor control during muscle contractions of the amputated limb.
- - Results suggest long-term engagement in para-sports leads to significant brain network reorganization, impacting not just M1 but also other areas like the frontal lobe and visual pathways, indicating a strong relationship between injury, activity, and brain plasticity.
