Psychological Influence of Self-Management on Exercise Self-Confidence, Satisfaction, and Commitment of Martial Arts Practitioners in Korea: A Meta-Analytic Approach

Abstract

This study aimed to meta-analyze the relationship between self-management and exercise self-confidence, satisfaction, and commitment in both modern and traditional martial arts among Korean practitioners. We examined the level of sports participation and different martial arts sports as potential moderating variables. In total, 22 studies yielded 299 individual effect sizes and were included in the final meta-analytic pool. The analyses revealed a moderate effect of self-management on exercise satisfaction and self-confidence; and a large effect self-management on exercise commitment. Especially, the effect of the training dimension of self-management was large on exercise commitment and satisfaction, while that of the mental dimension was large on exercise self-confidence. The effects of self-management on exercise satisfaction, commitment, and self-confidence were large in judo, Ssireum, and wrestling, respectively. Finally, the use of self-management was relatively more effective for non-elite participants than for elite practitioners. Our results highlight the effectiveness of self-management to enhance Korean martial arts practitioners’ exercise self-confidence, commitment, and satisfaction, findings that may potentially be extended internationally and to other types of sports; further, they showcase the importance of the promotion of interventions and educational programs on how to incorporate/employ self-management in athletes’ sports training.

It can be said that self-management is necessary for judo athletes who are frequently injured, which can lead to major injuries.…”

“…The higher the self-management, the higher the sports coping skills. The self-management of athletes is closely related to and affects self-confidence [ 8 ]. When self-management is good, it can be said that “individuals experience a positive mood and increased confidence in coping skills.” Self-management encompasses personal, internal, external, and environmental factors and is a psychobehavioral strategy, which means that individuals become thorough in everything, from physical and mental aspects to training and their personal life, to achieve their goals [ 9 ].…”

Automated Urinal-Based Specific Gravity Measurement Device for Real-Time Hydration Monitoring in Male Athletes

“…Optimal solutions are often dubbed “invisible monitoring,” which require no athlete burden and facilitate buy-in (Windt et al, 2020 ). In addition, some of the best results for player optimization of health and safety comes from player empowerment that drives self-regulation (Kim and Cruz, 2021 ). An automated, accurate USG measurement device that allows players to self-monitor hydration status could provide high-compliance testing and improved hydration awareness.…”

“…국내 연구로는 국가대표 및 상비군 선수들의 조직후 원인식이 경기력에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 (Oh et al, 2019), 스키 강 사들을 대상으로 한 연구 (Byeon, 2010) 자기관리란 선수로서의 개인이 성공적 수행에 도달하기 위해 행동을 유지하고 변화시키는 노력으로 자신을 조절하는 행동이다 (Jones et al, 1977). 부정적 생각 조절, 신체적 스킬을 향상시키기 위한 훈련 계획, 긴 장 수준 통제, 타인과의 긍정적 관계 유지 등이 포함된 자기관리 역량이 높은 운동선수들은 구체적인 목표를 달성하기 위한 행동들을 보다 자신 있게 한다 (Kim & Cruz, 2021 (Son & Cho, 2020).…”
