Abstract
Introduction. Psychological diagnostics in competitive sport is very useful in the selection process. Therefore, proper diagnostic methods are used to be predictive for both teachers and trainers. Aim of research. The aim of the study was to establish the best method for diagnosing football players’ level of intelligence. Materials and methods. Raven’s Progressive Matrices - APIS-P(R), football tests were used. All of the 177 participants (males) practised football. Results. In research, it has been shown that intelligence tests examining crystallised intelligence are not useful in the aspect of training, but may be a clue in the teaching process for teachers. The results of liquid intelligence tests (Raven’s Progressive Matrices) indicate positive correlations with the level of tactical and technical knowledge, as well as efficiency of the tested footballers. Conclusions. In the diagnosis of team sports players, it is useful to test liquid intelligence.
