“…It has been established that the structure of personality traits in a variety of cultures is universal, because it is biologically based (McCrae, 2002). The possibilities for building a personal profile in sports using the Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) have been studied (Mihăilescu, and Cucui, 2014).…”

Purpose: To justify theoretically the model for the health culture of a student's personality with the system of criteria and indicators. To examine the organization of educational, physical cultural and healthy work at the university and their influence on the health culture of master's students. Material: Complex of psychodiagnostic techniques and medical methods for determining the level of the health culture of a student's personality was used in the research. Respondents were 20 groups of master's students: 15 experimental groups in which the groups (Е 1-10 ) were under the big influence of active factors, (Е 11-15 ) under less influence, and also 5 control groups (С 1-5 ), who studied by traditional programs. The total number of studied master's students was 288 people. The research was conducted at the National Academy of National Guard of Ukraine in 2013-2018. Results: The regularity of interrelations between the degree of active influence research factors on students and the level of their health culture was revealed. In the experimental groups Е 1-10 higher indices were revealed than in the Е 11-15 groups, in contrast to the С 1-5 control group, in which no significant deviations were observed. The evaluation of the results was calculated by Pearson's criterion χ 2 for statistical significance (p≤0.05).Conclusions: Using the model for the health culture of personality with specific criteria and indicators allowed studying the influence of educational, physical cultural and healthy work at the university on the level of the health culture of master's students. Regularities were established: 1) the organization of educational, physical cultural and healthy work in the conditions of higher education positively influences on the formation of the health culture of master's students; 2) the level of a personality's health culture depends on the degree of active influence factors on it.

“…The psychology literature identifies personality and psychological traits of athletes or those with athletic experience. Some studies (Mihailescu and Cucui, 2014;Gould et al, 2002;Allen et al, 2011) suggest athletes tend to be more emotionally stable and confident than others. Hedgpeth and Sowa (1998) show that athletes have a high level of resilience as they regularly receive formal training on management techniques that help them cope with stress and difficult situations such as injuries during their sporting career.…”

“…Prior psychology and sport literature shows that athletes manifest certain attributes associated with personal independence, and could help enhance board independence. For example, Mihailescu and Cucui (2014) find that athletes have high levels of emotional stability, self-control, concentration of attention, and self-orientation.…”

This study examines the relation between the athletic experience of board directors and corporate outcomes. We predict that athletes' attributes, such as physical fitness, mental resilience, leadership, and team-working skills, enhance their monitoring role. Using a large sample from 71 countries, we find that athletic experience is associated with better firm performance. The benefits are more pronounced when the experience is of team sports and confrontational sports, and for firms experiencing financial crisis. The results remain consistent when we instrument the athletic experience of directors with the number of Olympic medals won and Olympic sports participated in by the country in question at the previous Olympic Games.

“…Besides speed preparation, speed and strength endurance [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], perfection of skating tactic and technique [ 9 ] are also important determinants of athletic performance. However, researchers have begun to concentrate on psychological skills, i.e., coping, anxiety [ 10 ], anger [ 10 , 11 ], mental toughness [ 12 ] and personality traits [ 13 ]. Considering, how important psychological skills are in an athlete’s preparation [ 14 , 15 ], it seems that physical skills are insufficient to become a highest level athlete.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the temperament and impulsiveness profile of short track athletes. Professional athletes (juniors and seniors), under training in the Polish National Team (Nfemale = 21, Nmale = 19, Mage = 20), completed The Temperament and Character Inventory- Revised (TCI-R (56)) and a shortened version of the Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation-Seeking, Positive Urgency, Impulsive Behavior Scale (S-UPPS-P). The results proved that skaters obtain higher scores than the general population on the temperamental scales i.e., persistence, harm avoidance and novelty seeking and impulsivity scales i.e., sensation seeking and positive urgency. After the cluster analysis, two homogeneous profiles of short track athletes were determined. The first profile includes athletes with high scores on the reward dependence, persistence, self-directedness, cooperativeness, temperamental and sensation-seeking impulsiveness scales coupled with low scores on the temperamental scale, harm avoidance and impulsiveness scales: positive urgency, negative urgency and the lack of perseverance. The second profile is the reverse of the first profile for the short track athletes.
