“…In studies where the psychological characteristic studied was self-confidence, Pujals and Fiorese [17] found that low self-confidence is related to stress and anxiety. The studies of Gimeno et al [18] and González et al [19] were in agreement, demonstrating an inverse relationship between self-confidence and anxiety in soccer players. In fact, self-confidence facilitates better performance in many different sport situations [21, 22].…”

“…These improvements were evident, since self-confidence and attitude could contribute to the stress control and anxiety [17]. There exists an inverse relationship between self-confidence and anxiety in soccer [18, 19], handball [20] and futsal players [21], and other specific situation as the sports injury [22]. Weinberg and Gould [23], as well as Lorenzo et al [24], found that this stress control could be improved by the player experience.…”

Stress control as well as other psychological characteristics influence sports performance (SP) and could be relevant according to the playing position in team sports, such as the futsal where players have different specific functions within the team. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychological characteristics and profile related to SP of top-level young futsal players, according to the offensive or defensive role. A total of one hundred sixty-seven young promises futsal players participated in this study (84 U16 and 83 U19) and have been chosen to play Championship of Spain Selections. The Psychological Characteristics related to SP for soccer players Questionnaire was used, and one-way ANOVA test was performed based on the playing position (goalkeeper, defender and defender-wing, wing and wing-defender, pivot and wing-pivot, and universal). Results showed that goalkeepers had the best psychological profile and characteristics related to SP. Pivots and wing-pivots had less self-confidence, and universals players, less stress control in relation to the rest of the playing positions (p < 0.05). The main findings revealed that the psychological characteristics and profile related to SP in young promises futsal players are different according to the playing position, and this study suggest the inclusion of psychological-training programs in order to improve the psychological abilities of players, especially for players with offensive role who seek to score goals.

“…In this vein, this can be the reason why coaches and footballers perceive the variables of self-confidence, intelligence, goal setting and motivation among the most important variables for a skill and performance-oriented football game. The findings are in line with those of the study by Campos (2015). Campos (2015) investigated the variables affecting football performance in a study on the footballers playing at Spain minor league.…”

Athletes constantly train for condiditon and success. However, training is not enough to achieve the desired success. Today sports training where scientific point of view is prioritized is an important element for athletes. Studies show that sportive success depends on the development of physical skills as well as psychological condition of the athletes. The review of literature has shown that there are many studies investigating the variables that affect the performance of athletes in a positive or negative way. However, there seems to be no study in the literature in which the psychological variables that considered to affect athlete performance and scaled variables in terms of their importance levels.Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the variables that affect the performance of the players and to scale these variables by the pairwise comparison method according to their level of importance.The study group consists of Şanlıurfa Spor football players and coaches, and amateur football players and coaches in Şanlıurfa. Data were collected from a total of 147 participants. Pairwise comparison method and fifth case equation is used in data analysis. Findings showed that the most important variable that affecting the athletes performance is 'self confidence' and the least important variable is 'anxiety'. According to findings, it is thought and suggested that such psychological variables as self-confidence, goal setting, motivation and attention should be included in exercises in order to enhance the performance of athletes. It is also recommended to conduct similar studies for different sports branches and different levels.

The study aimed to investigate physiological and psychological states prior to competition and prior to training in three different demanding activities. Eighteen canoe athletes, 18 street runners and 18 jiu-jitsu fighters were included in this study (n=54). The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2), salivary cortisol and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured at two time points (pre-training and pre-competition). Somatic anxiety (F1,42 = 15.29, p = 0.0003), HRV (F1,42 = 23.24, p < 0.0001) and salivary cortisol (F1,42 = 22.96, p < 0.0001) were significantly greater at the pre-competition measurement point than at the pre-training point, but without a main effect of the type of athlete on these variables. A main effect of the type of athlete was found on somatic anxiety (F2,42 = 6.58, p = 0.0033), cognitive anxiety (F2,42 = 10.69, p = 0.0002) and self-confidence (F2,42 = 5.42, p = 0.0080). Correlations between most CSAI-2 and physiological parameters were not significant (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the results indicated that both emotional indices and psychophysiological indices of stress are higher before competition than before training, with differences between emotional states between these sports. Although correlations between emotional states and psycho-physiological states before competition and before training were largely non-significant, these findings reinforce the importance of psychological monitoring of athletes in association with traditional physiological markers such as cortisol and HRV in sportive training programmes as complementary resources to improve both competition performance and the training routine.
