The role of emotional states and mental techniques in dancesport: A systematic review

Introduction: Psychological states during competition seem to be an important factor to determine successful performance. Therefore, the analysis of emotions is essential to understand how emotions can support sports performance. This systematic review aimed to summarize the studies examining the influence of emotional states on dancesport (DS) performance and the use of mental techniques to improve psychological preparation to face the competition. Material and methods. Web of Science, Scholar, Scopus and Pubmed databases were used to search studies. The screening process was summarized within the PRISMA 2020 flowchart. Results. Only 9 articles met our inclusion criteria. The results demonstrated that anxiety was the most common pre-competition emotional state of high-level DS athletes, followed by stress, arousal, concentration and self-confidence. The mental techniques of psychological preparation were mental contrasting, self-talk, bio/neurofeedback, the nine-step connection model and Cantón's Giraffe model. Emotional states can affect DS performance both positively and negatively; therefore, it is important to monitor these factors in order to improve one’s performance. Several mental techniques can be used to improve the athlete psychological states. Conclusion. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of these parameters on DS performance, especially in mid-low-level athletes.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to evaluate the technique of thoracic computed tomography in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism at the University Hospital Mère-Enfant le Luxembourg in Bamako. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study from 1 February to 30 April 2021, a period of 3 months. All patients of any age and sex referred to the radiology department for thoracic computed tomographywho had completed the administrative formalities and agreed to take part in the study, were included in our study. The size of our sample was 46 patients. Data were collected using individual survey forms prepared with the Epi. Info. Version 7.2 tool and filled in on the basis of examination bulletins completed by questioning the patient or accompanying person. Results: At the end of our study in the medical imaging department of the University Hospital Mère-Enfant le Luxembourg in Bamako, the prevalence of pulmonary embolism was 30%. The physical and psychological preparation was 100%, the venous route of the back of the hand with catheter ≤ 20G was the most used 56.52%, the means of restraint were used to 71.7%. Apnoea after deep inspiration of the patient without Valsalva was 84.78%, the automatic 3D reconstruction filter was used in 100% of examinations. The most commonly used PCI was telebris35 (63%) and 45.7% of examinations (n=21) were performed with a volume of 90ml of PCI with an injection rate of 3.5ml/s, i.e. 56.5%. The automatic injector was used in 100% of the examinations, then 81% of the examinations in adults compared with 100% in children (n=4) were performed with a PDL greater than the NRD but neither children nor adults had benefited from any means of radiation protection during the examination. The success rate for a single scan without revision was 52.2%, and the success rate for an examination with good vascular opacification was 95.7%. Conclusion: Thoracic angiography is a key examination in the etiological assessment of pulmonary embolism. It was in high demand during our study period because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In short, thoracic pathologies are becoming increasingly common. The most frequent reason was the onset of pain. However, an early diagnosis is essential for a better prognosis. Angioscan remains the reference examination for vascular pathologies such as pulmonary embolism.
