“…A Psicologia do esporte tem se preocupado, além de estudos descritivos e correlacionais, com estudos experimentais que verificam o efeito de programas de treinamento de habilidades psicológicas específicas para alguns esportes, como por exemplo, ginastas (Woodman, Zourbanos, Hardy, Beattie, & Mcquillan, 2010), esgrima (Abdel-Rahman, & Magdy, 2014) e taekwondo (Lim, & O`Sulivan, 2016), tendo na suas conclusões que as habilidades psicológicas podem ser melhoradas com programas de treinamento, objetivando um melhor desempenho. Dessa forma, programas de desenvolvimento de habilidades psicológicas são de fundamental importância para os esportes competitivos e o presente estudo sugere de que esses programas podem ser específicos levando em consideração o sexo, esportes individuais e coletivos, e a experiência competitiva dos atletas.…”

As habilidades psicológicas podem ter efeitos de variáveis nominais isoladas e/ou combinadas explicando de alguma forma a sua variabilidade. O presente estudo teve os seguintes objetivos: i) examinar os efeitos isolados do contexto, experiência competitiva, tipo de esporte e do sexo sobre o uso de habilidades psicológicas, ii) verificar o efeito combinado ou interativo entre sexo, experiência competitiva e tipo de esporte no uso das habilidades psicológicas e iii) investigar o poder preditivo das variáveis explicativas (sexo, tipo de esporte e experiência competitiva) sobre as variáveis psicológicas, nos contextos de treinamento e de competição. Os participantes foram 357 atletas entre 18 e 40 anos (M = 25,69, DP = 5,61), sendo 278 do sexo masculino e 79 do sexo feminino. A versão brasileira do Test of Performance Strategies-2 foi aplicado uma hora antes da competição. O sexo, tipo de esportes e experiência competitiva tiveram efeito significativo no relaxamento, controle emocional e definição de objetivos. Sexo também foi o único preditor de relaxamento, na situação de treino, e de controle emocional e de relaxamento, na situação de competição. Tipo de esporte e experiência competitiva foram bons preditores de definição de objetivos, na situação de treino, enquanto que na situação de competição, apenas experiência competitiva predisse definição de objetivos. Além disso, o contexto (treino ou competição) teve efeito significativo sobre definição de objetivos, automatização, relaxamento e imagética. A interação entre sexo/tipo de esportes teve efeito sobre diálogo interno (treino), e tipo de esportes/experiência competitiva teve efeito sobre o relaxamento (treino e competição) e ativação (competição). Finalmente, experiência competitiva/sexo teve efeito significativo e combinado sobre definição de objetivo (treino). Esses resultados foram discutidos, tendo em conta suas implicações teóricas e práticas para o planejamento de intervenções da Psicologia do Esporte no Brasil.

Taekwondo helps to strength health and cultivate moral character. However, taekwondo athletes have different emotional states under competitive pressure, which may affect their cognitive capacity. Drawing on the theories of sports psychological emotion, this paper explores the psychological emotion of taekwondo athletes, and discusses how different psychological emotions affect the cognitive capacity of these athletes. Professional taekwondo athletes in Henan and Shandong were randomly sampled for a questionnaire survey, using a five-point scale. The survey results were subjected to detailed statistical analysis. The results show that taekwondo athletes produce negative psychology emotions under competitive pressure, such as anxiety, hostility and fear; positive emotion promotes the cognitive capacity of taekwondo athletes; positive and negative emotions differ greatly in their impacts on the cognitive capacity of taekwondo athletes. The research results lay the theoretical basis for the scientific training of taekwondo athletes.

“…The overlap of potential gaps due to the subjective response of the examined person is the reason for this quantitative addition. Such a study of top-level taekwondo mental training was conducted by Lim and Sullivan (2016). The first step was the administration of the TEZADO temperamental dimensions questionnaire to the weightlifter.…”

Background. According to the coaches, the weightlifters of the national team show deficiencies in mental skills, which leads to unbalanced performance at top competitions. Based on the knowledge of the efficacy of mental training (MT) from other sports, it is possible to conclude the potential of the MT in top weightlifting. Objective. The main aim of the authors was to create and verify a program based on mental training techniques implemented in sports training of weightlifter of the junior category of the Czech Republic, and also to reflect the influence of the competitor's temperamental dimensions on the implementation of the MT program in her sports training. Methods. Semi-structured interviews with the athlete and the coach before and after the implementation of the mental training program were conducted. A psychodiagnostic tests – Test of attention d2 and TEZADO measuring attention resp. temperamental dimensions were used in addition to subjective statements. Self-assessing scales were also used to obtain more quantitative data. Results. Results showed that some of the mental training techniques had a positive effect on deficient mental skills. These mental skills are crucial in the preparation of the weightlifting representative and can have a significant influence on a sports athlete's performance. The most significant difference was achieved in the skill of refocusing and the smallest difference in imagination. According to the subject, the influence of the temperamental dimensions on the mental training program had a significant impact in connection with the refocusing and anger coping. Conclusion. Mental training techniques can help top weightlifters to overcome the mental skills deficiencies used in their sports training, which may have a positive influence on performance in both training and competitions. Self-knowledge of the temperamental dimensions is significant to the success of the program.
