“…Estudios clásicos encontraron que las variables fisiológicas explicaban entre el 45% y el 48% del rendimiento deportivo, pero cuando se unían las variables psicológicas llegaban a explicar entre el 79% y el 85% del éxito en la especialidad de lucha (Nagle, Morgan, Hellickson, Serfass y Alexander, 1975;Silva, Shultz, Haslam y Murray, 1981).…”

“…The use of the POMS in sport was pioneered by Morgan and his co-workers (e.g. Morgan 1974;Morgan & Johnson, 1978;Morgan & Pollock, 1977;Nagle, Morgan, Hellickson, Serfass, & Alexander, 1975) who demonstrated that, when compared to population norms, the mood profiles of athletes particularly at the elite level were characterized by above average Vigor scores and below average scores for Tension, Depression, Anger, Fatigue, and Confusion. Morgan termed such a pattern of mood responses an iceberg profile and proposed that it was reflective of positive mental health (Morgan, 1980(Morgan, , 1985.…”

The present study was a meta-analysis of 29 published studies that used the Profile of Mood States (POMS) to investigate relationships between mood and athletic achievement or between mood and performance outcome. Results showed that effect sizes (ESs) for level of achievement were minimal (n = 15, Weighted Mean ES = 0.10, SD = 0.07), a finding consistent with a previous meta-analysis by Rowley, Landers, Kyllo, and Etnier (1995).Larger effects were found for performance outcome (n = 17, Weighted Mean ES = 0.31, SD = 0.12). Effects were moderate for Vigor, Confusion, and Depression, small for Anger and Tension, and very small for Fatigue. All effects were in the direction predicted by Morgan's (1985) mental health model. Effects were larger in sports of short duration, in sports involving open skills, and where performance was judged using self-referenced criteria.Findings suggest that the POMS has utility in the prediction of performance outcome but not in the prediction of level of achievement.Key words: Meta-analysis, Mood, POMS, Moderating variables The Profile of Mood States and Athletic Performance: A Meta-analysis There is a strong intuitive and anecdotal association between mood states and sport performance. However, empirical support for mood-performance relationships has been equivocal, despite the fact that more than 250 published studies have examined mood responses in sport and exercise settings (LeUnes & Burger, 1998) Sport psychology researchers have relied almost exclusively upon the Profile of Mood States (POMS: McNair, Lorr & Droppleman, 1971) as the measure of mood when examining links with athletic performance. The use of the POMS in sport was pioneered by Morgan and his co-workers (e.g. Morgan 1974;Morgan & Johnson, 1978;Morgan & Pollock, 1977;Nagle, Morgan, Hellickson, Serfass, & Alexander, 1975) who demonstrated that, when compared to population norms, the mood profiles of athletes particularly at the elite level were characterized by above average Vigor scores and below average scores for Tension, Depression, Anger, Fatigue, and Confusion. Morgan termed such a pattern of mood responses an iceberg profile and proposed that it was reflective of positive mental health (Morgan, 1980(Morgan, , 1985.Of the many specific research questions addressed within the area of mood and sport, three of the most frequently investigated have been (a) can mood responses differentiate the athlete from the non-athlete, (b) can mood responses differentiate athletes of varying levels of achievement, and (c) can mood responses differentiate performance outcome among athletes of similar ability? In respect of the first research question, qualitative reviews of the extant literature by LeUnes, Haywood, and Daiss (1988), Renger (1993), and Vanden Auweele, De Cuyper, Van Mele, and Rzewnicki (1993) demonstrate clearly that athletes typically report iceberg profiles, which by definition vary from population norms derived largely from nonathletes. Further, recently published normative data based on the mood res...

La importancia del factor psicológico en el rendimiento deportivo llevó a algunos investigadores a relacionar rasgos de personalidad y rendimiento (Anhsel, 2003;Cabrita, Rosado, de la Vega y Serpa, 2014;Gould, Weiss y Weinberg, 1981;Mahoney y Avener, 1977;Morgan, 1979;Orlick, 2003), entre los que destaca el estudio de Gee, Dougan, Marshall y Dunn (2007) realizado durante 15 años con jugadores profesionales de hockey (NHL), en el que hallaron que la competitividad, la autoconfianza y la disposición analítica son predictores significativos de su rendimiento deportivo.…”

ResumenEl conocimiento de las características psicológicas de los jóvenes deportistas puede ser muy valioso para que, junto a los indicadores físicos y antropométricos, posibiliten a sus entrenadores y técnicos individualizar los procesos de entrenamiento y de esta manera optimizarlos. Los objetivos de este estudio son establecer las características psicológicas de los jóvenes jugadores de fútbol, rugby y baloncesto y determinar si existen diferencias psicológicas entre ellos en función del deporte que practican. Los participantes fueron 149 deportistas varones, 36 eran jugadores de futbol, 70 de baloncesto y 43 de rugby, con una media de edad de 15.99±1.47. Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Características Psicológicas relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo (CPRD). Los resultados indican que los jugadores presentan una tendencia similar en sus puntuaciones, aunque los jugadores de baloncesto son los que obtienen puntuaciones más bajas. Los futbolistas puntúan más alto en control de estrés, motivación y cohesión de equipo, mientras que los jugadores de rugby lo hacen en influencia de la evaluación del rendimiento y habilidad mental. En general, los deportistas manifiestan una buena capacidad para controlar el estrés, para gestionar adecuadamente la evaluación que se hace de su ejecución deportiva y una buena motivación hacia su práctica deportiva, aunque con un margen de mejora que sugiere implementar programas adecuados de entrenamiento. AbstractTo have knowledge of the psychological characteristics of grassroot team players can be very valuable so that, together with their physical and anthropometric features, may enable their coaches to individualize the training processes and thus optimize them. The objectives of this study are to study the psychological characteristics of football, rugby and basketball young players, and determine if there are psychological differences between them regarding the sport they practice. The participants were 149 male athletes. 36 were soccer players, 70 basketball players and 43 rugby players, with a mean age of 15.99 ± 1.47. The Psychological Characteristics related to Sports Performance Questionnaire (CPRD) was used. Results indicate that all players have a similar trend in their scores, although basketball players are the ones who score lower. Footballers score higher in stress control, motivation and team cohesion, while rugby players do so in influencing performance assessment and mental ability. In general, athletes shown a good ability to control their stress; to adequately manage the external evaluation made upon their performance, as well as a good level of motivation towards the practice of the sport. However, the data show that there is still room for improvement that justifies the implementation of adequate training programs.
