The effect of irrelevant thoughts on golf performance / Effekten av irrelevanta tankar på golfprestation

Janson-Broström, Oliver, Persson, Pontus January 2019 (has links)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of irrelevant thoughts on golf performance.26 junior golfers participated in a repeated measures experiment where the effects ofirrelevant thoughts, through a working memory task, on golf performance was investigated.The participants got to hit 12 golf shots, 6 without working memory task and 6 with workingmemory task. A significant difference was found in both dependent variables lateral deviationand time. The participants had bigger lateral deviation and took longer time to complete theirshots when having a working memory task. The results from the study indicates thatirrelevant thoughts could impair junior golfers performance, although more research is neededon the subject for senior golfers. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka effekten av irrelevanta tankar på golfprestation. 26 juniorgolfare deltog i ett upprepat mätnings experiment där effekterna av irrelevanta tankar,genom ett arbetsminnestest, på golfprestation undersöktes. Deltagarna fick slå 12 golfslag, 6 utan arbetsminnestest och 6 med arbetsminnestest. En signifikant skillnad hittades i båda beroende variablerna spridning i sidled samt tid. Deltagarna hade större spridning och tog längre på sig att slå sina slag när de hade ett arbetsminnestest. Resultaten från studien indikerar att irrelevanta tankar kan försämra juniorgolfares prestation, däremot behövs vidareforskning kring ämnet för seniorgolfare.
