Analysis and comparison of psychological, physical, and personality traits of athletes of weightlifting, swimming, boxing, athletics, soccer, volleyball, and basketball
Abstract
This study aims to describe and explore the psychological, physical, and personality traits of athletes in competitive sports in seven different sports: weightlifting, swimming, boxing, athletics, soccer, volleyball, and basketball. A total of 118 athletes (80 men, 38 women with a mean age of 25.05 ± 6.9) were selected from these seven categories. Additionally, the anthropometric measurement consists of height, weight, and body mass index. At the same time, physical ability is made up of five components: flexibility, arm muscle strength, abdominal muscle strength, leg muscle power and aerobic endurance. Psychological ability and personality characteristics were also measured using the Inventory of Psychological Abilities for Sport and the Athlete Personality Inventory. There were significant differences in the six variables (p<0.01), but not in the other variables (p>0.05). The six variables include height, body mass index, arm and abdominal muscle strength, leg muscle power, and aerobic endurance with values of 3.052 and 0.008 (p<0.01), 3.497 and 0.003 (p<0.01), 9.822 and 0.001 (p< 0.01), 11.855 and 0.001 (p<0.01), 52.747 and 0.001 (p<0.01), and 11.298 and 0.001 (p<0.01). However, psychological variables and personality characteristics were not significantly correlated with other variables. The anthropometric and physical aspects of the athletes tended to have differences depending on the sport. However, the psychological variables and personality characteristics had no relationship with the physical and anthropometric aspects.
