Abstract
Analysis of scientific works shows that in recent years, extreme sports have developed very rapidly, and scientists have interested in extreme personality phenomenon, in particular, trying to find out what drives people who engage in extreme motor activity types. The aim of the study was to identify the presence of correlations between indicators of coordination qualities and of basic mental properties and processes in adolescents aged 13-14 years, who are engaged in extreme motor activity (MA) types. Materials and methods. The study involved male adolescents aged 13–14 years (n = 47) who are involved in extreme MA types. The tetrachoric correlation coefficient and the Chuprov correlation coefficient were used to determine the correlations between mental and physical components indicators, and the parametric Brave-Pearson correlation coefficient was used to establish the relations between coordination qualities indicators. Statistical processing was performed using the application package Statistics 6.0. Results. The study of coordination abilities structure of the studied contingent revealed that ability indicators to manage spatio-temporal characteristics are related to locus control indicators (0.44), alertness (-0.34), mechanical (-0.34) and logical (-0.32) memory; the ability to spatial parameters differentiation correlates with anxiety (0.64), locus control (-0.62), alertness (0.35) and mechanical memory (-0.31); the ability to differentiate temporal parameters correlates with mental properties indicators (anxiety, stress and locus control), as well as mental processes indicators: mechanical memory (-0.47) and alertness (-0.38); proneness to stress indicator (-0.32) correlates with the ability to maintain static balance; logical memory indicator (-0.51), proneness to stress (0.35), locus control (0.37) and mechanical memory (-0.37) correlates with the ability to maintain dynamic balance; indicators of social desirability bias (0.49), mechanical memory (0.35) and locus control (-0.32) correlated with the ability to general movements coordination. Conclusions. The integrated coordination abilities indicator is presented by leading and background indicators that influence and determine the coordination preparedness of adolescents aged 13–14 who are engaged in extreme MA.
