Effect of Verbal Encouragement on Performance and Affective Responses in Male Sport Science Students during Sprint Modalities by Sahli, Faten

“…This investigation aimed to examine the effect of verbal encouragement teacher to student (VETS) versus verbal encouragement student to student (VESS) on physical performance and affective responses during different modalities of sprint tests in active male students. In a randomized crossover design, twenty-two male sport science students (age: 21 ± 1.2 years, body height: 1.77 ± 0.3 m, body mass: 76.6 ± 2.1 kg, BMI: 22.9 ± 1.3 kg·m−2) performed linear and change-of-direction sprint tests under one of three conditions: (1) VETS; (2) VETS; (3) no verbal encouragement. …”

Overconfident results with the bivariate random effects model for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies by Furuya-Kanamori, Luis

“…Diaz found that the performance of the bivariate model deteriorates when between-study heterogeneity increases and the number of studies decrease.5 Our simulation studies found similar results—with moderate levels of heterogeneity (tau2 = 1), the coverage probabilities of Se, Sp, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with the bivariate model dropped below the nominal level.6 Diagnostic accuracy studies usually favor sensitivity over specificity, or vice versa leading to diagnostic 2 × 2 tables with one or more of the cells with low frequency or zero counts. …”
