APPLICABLE REMARKS
The current results suggest several actionable strategies for coaches and sports psychologists:
- Implement Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)- based workshops to enhance athletes’ psychological flexibility, with a particular focus on accepting negative thoughts during high-pressure competitions.
- Coach education programs should emphasize autonomy-supportive behaviors measured by the CART-Q (e.g., fostering closeness through empathetic listening, commitment via consistent goal alignment, and complementarity through collaborative training decisions).
- Targeted interventions to build sports self-efficacy, such as mastery experiences and verbal persuasion, should be integrated into routine training.
- Regular monitoring of burnout symptoms, combined with assessments of the coach-athlete relationship, is recommended to identify at-risk athletes early.
- Ultimately, integrating these internal and external resources can help build resilient athletes capable of thriving under the rigorous demands of competitive sports.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The present findings suggest that the cognitive benefits of PA are most likely to emerge from structured, progressive, and sufficiently dosed exercise interventions rather than from habitual recreational activity.
- Because the present null findings were derived from a single cross-sectional sample assessed with self-reported PA measures, this recommendation should be regarded as a hypothesis to be tested rather than an established practice guideline.
- Universities seeking to leverage PA for cognitive and academic enhancement would benefit most from experimental and longitudinal designs capable of establishing dose-specific and causal evidence.
