Item CORRELATION BETWEEN JUNIORS’ MENTAL HEALTH PARAMETERS AND SPORTS MOTIVATION(2024) Kurova, A.; Popovych, I. S.; Zablotskyi, A.; Bazyka, Y.; Poleshchuk, L.; Hoi, N.; Los, O.; Попович, І. С.o explore the relationship between mental health parameters and sports motivation among junior athletes. Methods: The research sample included junior athletes aged 15–19 who trained regularly and pursued sports as a means of professional self-realization. An equal number of male (n = 32; 50.00%) and female athletes (n = 32; 50.00%) were selected. The sample maintained a balance between individual and team sports, with n = 32 (50.00%) participants from individual sports and n = 32 (50.00%) from team sports. Descriptive statistics for the sample were as follows: M = 18.12; SD = ±2.97; Me = 18.00. The parameters of mental health, the level of juniors’ positive mental health and health status, and groups of intrinsic and extrinsic motives were measured with valid and reliable psycho-diagnostic tools. Standard coefficients were used to establish statistical significance. Results. Two athletes’ profiles were created: a three-dimensional profile of mental health and a profile of sports motivation. Eighteen significant correlations between the parameters of groups of intrinsic and extrinsic motives and the mental health of athletes were established (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p ≤ .001), three of them being inverse. The motive of skill development has the strongest correlations with an internal locus of control over health, positive mental health, and health status. The comparative matrix allowed for identifying the superiority of Group 1 (a high level of the parameters of mental health) in four pairs of dimensions: positive mental health and positive emotions; an internal locus of control and skill development; positive mental health and skill development; health status and skill development. No significant difference was found in the level of health status (Group 1 > 38.00 ≤ 1 Group 2) in the parameter “demotivation”. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that systematic work on oneself, which manifests in self-improvement of technical and practical skills, allows purposeful and hard-working junior athletes to achieve remarkable sports results. The motives of learning new things and positive emotions with four direct correlations each are the most dependent ones. There is a caveat that junior athletes’ health status as a complex state of physical, emotional, and mental well-being may weaken sports motivation. It was recommended that the results obtained should be considered by administrators, coaches, psychologists, and managers of sports institutions who work with junior athletesItem PROPENSITY FOR ADVENTUROUSNESS IN THE MOTIVATIONAL STRUCTURE OF JUNIOR ATHLETES(2024) Popovych, I. S.; Kolly-Shamne, A.; Piletska, L.; Soroka, O.; Hoian, I.; Yaremchuk, V.; Huzar, V.; Попович, І. С.This study aims to establish statistical correlations between the propensity for adventurousness and components of junior athletes' motivational structures. Methods: The sample consisted of juniors actively involved in competitive, training, and rehabilitative sports, regularly participating in competitions ranging from regional to international levels, including European, World, and Olympic events. The sample includes an equal number of male (n = 65; 50.00%) and female (n = 65; 50.00%) participants, as well as an equal representation from team sports (n = 65; 50.00%) and individual sports (n = 65; 50.00%), randomly selected. The size of the total sample was: n = 130 respondents aged from 17 to 19 years. The following descriptive characteristics were obtained: М = 18.38; SD = ±3.08; Мe = 18.50. The applied psycho-diagnostic tools tested in numerous studies on sports psychology, on junior samples are valid, reliable and representative. Results: Twenty-one statistically significant correlations of the parameters of propensity for adventurousness with motives for engaging in sports and thirty- four correlations with motives for achieving a sports result (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p ≤ .001) were established using Spearman’s coefficient (rs). It was found that the parameters of propensity for adventurousness “emotional- motivational indicator of adventurousness” and “energy indicator of adventurousness” are the most dependent ones. It was explained by the fact that these components in junior athletes are a powerful mental resource which should be supported, developed and directed at volitional self-regulation. An algorithm for creating a profile of propensity for adventurousness was proposed. Discussion and conclusions: Comparison of the researched groups with a high level (Group 1) and a low level (Group 2) of propensity for adventurousness allowed summarizing that the athletes with a high level are guided by the desire for new sensations accompanied by adrenaline rush, frequent changes goals during sports competitions and by an immense desire for social self- affirmation. The athletes with a low level strive to improve sports skills, work on a procedural component accompanied by control, volitional efforts and self-regulation of sports behavior. It is recommended that the obtained results should be taken into consideration by coaches, psychologists and managers of sports institutions working with junior athletes.Item PSYCHOLOGICAL CAUSES OF FATIGUE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS(2023) Shcherbak, T.; Popovych, I. S.; Kariyev, A.; Duisenbayeva, A.; Huzar, V.; Hoian, I.; Kyrychenko, K.; Попович, І. С.The purpose of the research is to find out empirically and theoretically substantiate the psychological causes of football players’ fatigue. Methods. The ascertaining strategy of research and ranking of parameters has been applied. Valid and reliable psychodiagnostic methods have been used to measure parameters of professional maladjustment, self-assessment of psychophysiological state, differentiated assessment of performance, and the level of football players’ emotional burnout. Results. It was found that the high level of football player’s fatigue from the training-competitive cycle has been caused by a decrease in the efficiency of their psycho-functional systems: emotional changes (R=.920); a decrease in general activity (R=.810); a decrease in motivation to activity (R=.824); features of certain mental processes (R=.549); features of social interaction (R=.891). It has been shown that with a decrease in the indicators of the psychophysiological state, the feeling of fatigue increases: well-being (R=-.812); activity (R=-.840). As well as in relation to motivational factors of the appearance of fatigue: interest in sports (R=-.869); willingness to perform tasks (R=-.816). A statistically reliable inverse relationship has been established between all indicators of the psychophysiological state and predictors of fatigue: monotony, oversaturation, stress. It has been empirically established and explained that the drop in the level of football players’ performance, as a result of fatigue, can be caused by external negative influences: experiencing psycho-traumatic circumstances (R=.924); “being cornered” (R=.896); a desire to curtail professional activity: reduction of professional duties (R=.936); changes in team’s psychological climate: personal alienation (R=.924); changes in the emotional sphere: anxiety and depression (R=.882); inadequate selective emotional response (R=.867); emotional moral disorientation (R=.904); expansion of the sphere of emotional economy (R=.918); emotional deficit (R=.870); emotional alienation (R=.896). Discussion and conclusions. It has been summarized that football players with pronounced parameters of fatigue are much more often characterized by a deterioration in well-being, namely changes in the emotional sphere, a decrease in general activity and course of mental processes. At the same time, they are characterized by separate somatic vegetative disorders in sleep, peculiarities in social relations. In sports activities, they demonstrate reduced motivation and, accordingly, the lack of interest and motivation provokes a feeling of fatigue. It has been empirically found that the respondent football players with a pronounced feeling of fatigue demonstrate a high level of desire to stop their training and competition activities. These football players feel bored with monotonous, same-type activities and seek to change activity or diversify it.
