Features of formation of motivation for sports activity in highly qualified powerlifters

Creating a stable motivation for sports activities and systematic sports results is an important task of the modern system of training athletes in powerlifting. Motivation is the main factor in the effectiveness of the realization of sports potential and monotony of sports activities to athletes in powerlifting. The available scientific knowledge on the problem of forming motivation in powerlifting is characterized by the contradiction between the need to take into account the peculiarities of motivating athletes of different qualifications in powerlifting as an important factor in achieving sports results and lack of theoretical and methodological justification in power sports. The scientific potential of research on the formation of motivation of athletes in powerlifting is high not only for the psychology of sport, but also for the practice of sport. The aim is to identify the features of the formation of motivation for sports activities in highly qualified powerlifters. To solve this goal, we used the following research methods: analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction and extrapolation, generalization of practical experience, sociological methods, and methods of statistical analysis. As a result of the research, the significance of motives for sports activity of highly qualified powerlifters was determined and qualification differences in motivation of athletes of different qualifications were substantiated. Based on the rank analysis, it was found that among athletes of different qualifications there is no clear pattern of dominance of certain motives. It was found that the leading motives for sports activities of lower-skilled athletes are related to the desire for social recognition, self-realization and self- identification. With the growth of athletes' qualifications, the significance of these motives decreases. The obtained results testify to the existence of a clear regularity between the qualification of powerlifters and the orientation of the motives that form the attitude to the systematic and achievement of sports results.

Three Ways That Peers Matter in Youth Sport

There are many features of youth sport that can make it exciting and motivating or, alternatively, make it dull, stressful, or otherwise uninviting. Among those features are the participants themselves. When young athletes sign up for a sport, opt to stay with a particular team, invest time and energy into practicing, or consider their competitive successes and failures, their peers (those of similar age, standing, and power) often play a part. Teammates are probably the most important peers in shaping youth sport choices and experiences, but other peers at school and elsewhere can also influence young athletes. In this article, we describe three ways that peers matter in youth sport. We argue that the quality of young athletes’ sport experiences is tied to specific friendships, broader acceptance by peers, and how athletes compare themselves to their peers. These aspects of peer relationships play important roles in shaping athlete motivation and performance.

The Mediating Role of Self-Efficacy in the Relationship between Approach Motivational System and Sports Success among Elite Speed Skating Athletes and Physical Education Students.

Background: While the association between self-efficacy and sports success has been well established in previous studies, little is known regarding whether the basic approach motivation system contributes to this relationship in athletes. The study examines associations between self-reported temperamental approach disposition, self-efficacy, and predispositions to sports success in athletes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed between August 3 and 30 November 2020. The participants were 156 athletes, aged 16–34 years (M = 21.57, SD = 3.58, 41.67% women), in two groups: 54 elite athletes in speed skating (EASS) and 102 physical education students (PES). The online survey consisted of the Reinforced Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Sports Success Scale (SSS). Results: There were no differences in self-efficacy and sports success in terms of gender, sports discipline, and level of competitions. The Behavioral Activation System (BAS) results were lower in the EASS sample compared with in the PES group. Self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationships between BAS and sports success among athletes, with sport discipline as a moderator between BAS and self-efficacy. Sports success in speed skating relies strongly on BAS, while a weak link has been found in other sports disciplines. Conclusions: BAS is directly correlated to sports success and indirectly related through self-efficacy. Mental training should be focused on maintaining self-efficacy and reward motivation in athletes to increase their sports success.

Moderators of the coach leadership and athlete motivation relationship

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine whether the relationship between coach leadership and athlete motivation was moderated by age, gender, competition level, and seasons spent with a coach. This study involved data from two previous studies that explored this relationship yet provides a novel perspective through the lens of important moderators. Three-hundred and three athletes (M age = 17.6 years; SD = 3.20; 49.7% women and 50.3% men) responded to questionnaires pertaining to their coaches’ leadership behaviours and their own sport motivation. Multiple regression analyses using moderators were conducted. Age, competition level, and seasons spent with the coach significantly moderated the relationships of interest. Coach transformational leadership predicted intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to a greater extent when athletes were younger than 20.8 and 18.2 years of age, respectively. Further, coach transactional leadership predicted intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to a greater extent when athletes had trained for more than two seasons with their coach. Results emphasize the need to consider athlete characteristics from both research and practitioner perspectives. Herein, we advocate for increased awareness amongst key sport stakeholders on the influence that a coach can have on younger athletes’ motivation and the importance of developing coach-athlete relationships over time.

Peculiarities of virtual reality technology of the sports training

The article considers the possibility of developing innovative approaches to managing the training of athletes on the basis of virtual reality technology. The achievements and shortcomings of virtual reality in sports are analyzed. It is believed that winning in sports technology is gaining more and more significance these days and can achieve a wide range of advantages. It was found peculiarity of the choice of advanced technologies and computer graphics for the creation of a realistic virtual world with the method of eliminating the movement of the mind, which will be based on the sensors of the movement of people through the creation of singing algorithms in computer programs.
 It has been established that the systems of "virtual reality", creating the "presence effect", directed at the promotion of congestion, regularly engage in various types of physical activity and sports, and can also accurately determine the aspects of the athlete's performance. Through the exchange of the current day, caused by a pandemic, technology is in great demand in economically and technologically developed countries. Using of new forms, tools and approaches in the training process of athletes provides a number of advantages over conventional classes in the sports industry. The introduction of virtual reality in the sports training of athletes allows: to optimize the training process and make it more effective; increase the motivation and interest of athletes in sports; create safe conditions for the improvement of certain technical and tactical elements in the sport; help to predict the results.

Examining the Relationship Between Basic Psychological Needs and Athlete Identity During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ObjectivesDuring COVID-19 athletes have had games canceled, seasons postponed, and social supports lost. These changes negatively impact their motivation, and potentially identity, as athletes. We draw on self-determination theory to examine motivation in sport and its relationship with athlete identity during COVID-19.DesignA cross-sectional study design was employed consisting of online quantitative surveys.MethodWe gathered background engagement and motivation data from 115 athletes involved in organized sport. They responded to questions on basic psychological needs satisfaction (competence, relatedness, autonomy) and athlete identity.ResultsWhen reflecting on their basic psychological needs during the pandemic, most athletes considered them important. Athletes' competence and relatedness in sport were associated with social-related athlete identity, but not autonomy. Only relatedness in sport was associated with exclusivity-related social identity.ConclusionsUsing a self-determination theoretical lens, our findings contribute to understanding athlete motivation and identities when sport is interrupted.

Autonomy support in sport and exercise settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ABSTRACT Drawing from self-determination theory (SDT) and a database of 1,320 correlations across 131 independent samples (N = 38,844), we conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of coach autonomy support in sport and exercise settings. Results showed autonomy support was strongly positively associated with athlete well-being and negatively associated with distress. Consistent with SDT, meta-analyzed correlations were strongest for autonomous forms of athlete motivation (ρ = .39) and weaker for controlled forms of motivation (introjected regulation ρ = .16, external regulation ρ = −.01), and negative with amotivation (ρ = −.19). We found strong positive associations between autonomy support and athlete basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness and very strong associations between autonomy support and other climate or behavioral supports for athlete basic psychological needs: competence support; relatedness support; structure; involvement; and task-involving climates. Effects were not moderated by culture, with collectivist and individualist cultures generally yielding effects in the strong range (ρ ≥ .35), providing support for the assumption within SDT of universal benefits of autonomy support. Effects were also not moderated across types of sport. We discuss implications of the review and suggest coach autonomy support is consistent with environments supporting autonomous motivation, basic psychological needs, and well-being.

Assessment of the impact of structural organization of achievement motivation of athletes upon their performance

The subject of this research is the psychological patterns of dynamic manifestations of athlete’s motivation for achieving results in individual sports, as well as peculiarities of its transformation, taking into account professional becoming and the impact on self-efficacy The object of this research is the achievement motivation of athletes in individual sports. The author aims to empirically assess the impact of structural organization of achievement motivation of athletes upon their performance and achievements. Relying on the methods of nomothetic analysis of the data on the achievement motivation of over than 500 athletes, as well as their achievements, the article builds the system of independent equations that allow analyzing the impact of basic motivational factors (ego orientation, task solution, and material values) upon the effectiveness of athletes of the corresponding professional age group. The main conclusion consists in the revealed patterns that determine the effectiveness of an athlete depending on the structural organization of achievement motivation. Leaning on the developed system of independent equations, the author determines the level of sensitivity of achievements to the structure of the motive of athletes in individual sports. It is established that the degree of performance of an athlete is most sensitive to changes in the "task-solution orientation" factor. However, the progress in professional development leads to inclination towards the "material factor". The novelty of consists in modernization of the existing approaches and algorithms towards studying the achievement motivation (approaches of R. A. Piloyan, E. P. Ilyin, A. C. Puni, etc.) within the framework of using the dynamic analysis of the three-dimensional structure of motivation ("ego", "tasks", "material factors") applicable to athletes in individual sports. This allowed substantiating the need to use such mathematical-statistical models that are able to forecast the performance of an athlete depending on the structural organization of basic motives in each professional group.
