Internal Representations in Motor Learning and Performance
Internal Representations in Motor Learning and Performance
Individuals can differ in the mode in which they experience conscious thought. These differences can be captured by The Internal Representation Questionnaire (IRQ), but its ability to predict motor control and links to reinvestment and motor imagery have not been tested.

Exploratory Analysis of Mental Health Related Problems in Romanian Elite Athletes
We will use different mental health screening questionnaires designed for elite athletes to assess their validity. Additionally, we will collect socio-demographic data from elite athletes, test the acceptability and feasibility of the questionnaires, compare them with the gold standard and verify if mental health literacy influences the results. The research will include Romanian elite athletes and the validity results along with prevalence data of the most common mental health problems will be compared to the ones reported in other countries.
