Abstract
ABSTRACT In the field of sports psychology and more specifically within elite sports, the influence that mood states have on performance is of great interest. This study investigated the relationship between professional basketball variables and mood profile throughout a competitive period. Twelve professional players were divided into two groups: starting players (SP) and rotation players (RP). The Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire was administered weekly for 5 weeks. The individual training load and individual match performance were controlled. The results showed that mood, energy index and game performance remained stable. The training load varied in the assessment period but did not have an influence on the player's mood. Regarding the team role, the SP scored higher POMS results than RP. There was a positive relationship between the before-match assessment of mood and performance in competition (p = .019). No relationship was found between player’s performance and mood 48 h after the game (p = .93).
