Students’ temperament manifestation’s peculiarities at hand fight and gymnastics
Introduction. To increase the level of sports results, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the temperament of the trained athletes during training, which is especially important in hand-to-hand combat and gymnastics. Purpose of the study: to trace the connection between the characteristics of temperament among young hand-to-hand fighters and gymnasts with at least 5 years of regular training experience with the content of their chosen sports. Methodology and organization of the study. The study involved two groups of completely healthy, long-term training young athletes at the age of 18 years. The first group consisted of 21 hand-to-hand fighters, the second group consisted of 22 gymnasts. The parameters of temperament were determined in young athletes of both groups: resistance to frustration, anxiety -emotional stability, severity of aggressiveness, peculiarities of plasticity and rigidity of nervous processes, the ratio of extraversion - introversion with statistical processing of the results. Research results and discussion. Young athletes of both groups had fairly high emotional stability and resistance to the development of frustration. Features of hand-to-hand combat, including hard physical contact, opposing actions during the fight, a wide range of movements and constantly changing conditions for their implementation, attract to this sport people who have high manifestations of aggressiveness, as well as pronounced plasticity and extraversion. Gymnastics is characterized by a lack of physical contact, smooth muscle activity, a certain monotony of situations during training and competitive actions. This attracts people with a low level of aggressiveness, little plasticity and extraversion of nervous processes to this sport. Conclusions. A hand-to-hand fighter is characterized by increased aggressiveness with pronounced plasticity and extraversion. For gymnasts, lower levels of these indicators are optimal for good athletic performance.
