Effect of training session on mood state responses in athletes of wheelchair basketball team

Abstract

The assessment of mood state can be used as a tool for monitoring the training adaptation. However, to athletes with a physical disability, this tool is still a few explored, especially in training daily conditions. The aim of the study was to analyze the mood state during training sessions in wheelchair basketball athletes. Twelve male athletes, aged between 23 and 62 years old, were evaluated. The subjects answered the POMS questionnaire before and after five training sessions during the preparatory period. Shapiro Wilk test for normality and Friedman were used for comparison amongst sessions, adopting p<0.05. It was found that the athletes presented a positive mood profile (iceberg) during the analyzed period. A negative mood reduction and positive mood maintenance were observed after all training sessions. Therefore, the results indicate that the training sessions can decrease the negative mood dimension, especially the depression and anger in wheelchair basketball athletes.

“…Then Selmi et al [15], in his research explained that MS was influenced by several factors such as family or school. MS has an important role for studentathletes in following the PE process optimally in the long term, because positive MS has the potential to reduce levels of burnout, depression [16], stress [17,18], anger [19], on the other hand studentathletes with negative MS tend to have a low level of involvement in learning activities [20,21,22]. A previous study has confirmed that the benefits of MS can trigger enthusiasm in studentathletes to achieve a goal in the context of physical education [23], or sports [24].…”
