Characteristics of thought processes and knowledge structures of Novice tennis playersOguchi-Chen, Fumiko January 1990 (has links)
Performers of physical skills develop knowledge structures in which the content, structure and process of special skills as well as context information are represented (Allard & Burnett, 1985; Gardner, 1985; Vickers, 1986). In the teaching of sports and physical education we deal with complexly organized knowledge structures and mental operations and changes occur as one (students, athletes, teachers and coaches) progresses from the novice to expert levels. The differences between the knowledge representation of experts and novices were documented in many areas, such as chess (Chase & Simon, 1973), physics (Chi, Feltovich & Glaser, 1981), mathematics teaching (Leinhardt& Smith, 1985) and gymnastics (Vickers, 1986).
The basic purpose of this study was, for pedagogical reasons, to better understand the development of the novice performers' knowledge structure by exploring their thought processes in action. The focus was upon novice tennis players during the game situation. Four novice level volunteer students from a physical education tennis performance class were the subjects of this study. A multiple case study method utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data was employed. The qualitative method and procedure of stimulated recall (Grimmett, 1982; Housner & Griffey, 1985; Peterson, 1982; Tuckwell, 1980) was used to obtain verbal reports disclosing the novices' thought processes when reviewing the video tape segments of their play. Quantitative performance data using the CompuTennis scoring system were analyzed in order to verify the accuracy of the subject's comments during the analysis of their interview transcriptions. Moreover, field notes and two questionnaires completed multiple source data base in order to permit the analysis of a subject in all dimensions.
A description of what the players thought and felt during the interview in relation to their tennis performance was presented and the players' thought processes and knowledge structures were analyzed and interpreted in relation to the complex internal and external cues reported in particular game situations.
Diagrammatical summary of each case was presented as a representation of a player's thought processes and knowledge structures. As well, a novice player's thought processes and knowledge structures were discussed with a comparative view in relation to selected stage theories (Anderson,1982; Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1986; Jewett & Mullan, 1977).
The present multiple cases revealed common themes across the cases of the novices as well as distinct individual differences in terms of the breadth, depth, organization and accessibility of the knowledges, working memory capacity and information processing efficiency (Kyllonen & Christal, 1989). Moreover, from the results of the study, developmental processes of compilation, composition and proceduralization of knowledges of action (Anderson, 1982) in the tennis game situation were discussed. Finally, the implications were discussed for the designs of instruction of skill performance. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

Aggression in elite women's ice hockeyVanier, Julie L. January 2002 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine elite women's ice hockey, with particular emphasis on various aspects of aggression associated with the sport. A qualitative research methodology was employed. Participants included 4 coaches and 15 hockey players, from three elite levels of women's hockey. Each coach was interviewed using an in-depth open-ended format. Each athlete participated in a focus group interview. Commonalities emerged from the coach and athlete data, which resulted in the creation of three higher-order themes that were called (1) state of women's hockey, (2) coach and athlete issues, and (3) aggression in women's hockey. The data focused on the lives of those involved with the sport (coaches and athletes) and topics that were unique to women's ice hockey, including aggression. These results advance information concerning women's sport, coaching, and aggression in elite female athletics.

The effect of game location on self-efficacy and assertive play in women's collegiate soccerPigozzo, Julie M. January 2004 (has links)
Several studies conducted on home advantage in sport have focused on game location and performance outcome. The purpose of this study was to examine three components of home advantage, such as the effect that game location has on self-efficacy, a critical psychological state, and assertive play, a critical behavioral state. Participants (N = 21) from one mid-sized, midwest, Division I soccer program completed the Modified State Sport-Confidence Inventory (MSSCI) prior to six home conference games and six away conference games. In addition, all 12-conference games were observed and coded according to four assertive behaviors of soccer players. Data were analyzed using a permutation test and Spearman's Rho with a level of significance set at .05. Results indicated there was no significant difference in self-efficacy between home and away games and no significant difference in assertive play between home and away games. No significance relationship was found for self-efficacy and assertive play. Possible limitations along with recommendations for the future are discussed. / School of Physical Education

Futebol não é (só) brincadeira : os processos de formação e subjetivação de atletas /Vieira, Talita Machado. January 2017 (has links)
Orientador: Deivis Perez Bispo dos Santos / Banca: José Sterza Justo / Banca: Paulo Roberto de Carvalho / Resumo: O presente trabalho buscou compreender como se configura o campo da formação profissional de jovens para o trabalho como atletas de futebol e como se desenvolvem os processos de subjetivação dos adolescentes no tocante à profissão a qual aspiram. A investigação foi desenvolvida nas categorias de base de um clube alocado no interior do estado do Paraná. Para efetuar esta pesquisa, o estudo foi composto por três momentos distintos. Primeiramente, contemplou a produção de uma narrativa acerca da história e da modernização do futebol no Brasil, dando ênfase aos processos, acontecimentos e eventos que conduziram a sua conversão em trabalho. O segundo momento se caracterizou pela revisão, análise e síntese do conceito de subjetivação à luz da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural. Por último, o exame e discussão do processo de formação e de subjetivação dos jovens atletas com base nos estudos e elaborações teóricas e nos dados que emergiram do campo investigado. Para esta etapa, optou-se pelos aportes teórico-metodológicos da Clínica da Atividade. Particularmente para a fase de recolha de dados, foi adotado o dispositivo da autoconfrontação simples. Tal dispositivo se baseia no princípio da coanálise da atividade cotidiana realizada pelos trabalhadores situados em contexto e tem o diálogo como fundamento para a emergência do conhecimento compartilhado sobre as maneiras de realizar a atividade e de se realizar na atividade. Neste sentido, oferece os subsídios necessários à compreensão dos processos de subjetivação no tocante à formação profissional neste cenário / Abstract: The present work sought to understand how the field of professional formation of youth people for the labor as soccer athletes is configured and how is developed the process of subjetivation of this teenagers for the profession they aspire to.

A psychophysiological study of anxiety as experienced by high school rugby playersJooste, Marli 04 June 2012 (has links)
M.A. / South Africans are known for their love of sports and rugby is one of the most popular sports in the country. Due to this nationwide love of rugby children are often exposed to the game from a very young age. However, children’s participation in competitive rugby is a complex matter. It is unclear whether children participate in rugby for the simple love of the game or because of the competitive culture that is dominant within South Africa. Numerous studies have expressed concerns about children’s participation in rugby due to the physical risks, the psychological stress that accompanies competitive sports, the emphasis on winning (pressure to perform) and the resultant disappointment of losing. Research has also demonstrated that elevated anxiety levels are an integral part of competitive sport participation and impact physiological and psychological behavioural responses. However, previous research has not focused on anxiety in relation to competitive sport participation in the South African context or on the impact that participation in competitive rugby has on children in South Africa. This study thus aimed to investigate the anxiety experienced by high school rugby players and determine the extent to which their involvement in competitive rugby contributes to this anxiety. A within-and-between, quasi-experimental design study was conducted to address this primary aim. Twenty (20) children participated in the study; 10 of the participants played high school rugby, while the remaining 10 participants were not involved in any sport.

A psycho-educational programme for cricket players using neuro-linguistic programmingSaunders, Dawn Elizabeth 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD (SportPsych))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / There has been a greater awareness in the psychological aspects of sport over
the past few decades, and in particular, how the psyches of the players affect
their performance. The game of cricket has been no exception. Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) has been used successfully in the business world, but very
little research has been done in the sport milieu. The motivation for this
research was two-fold. First, there was the need for a cricket team to be
mentally prepared to play at their highest potential on provincial level; second,
the researcher was curious about NLP techniques being successfully applied in
sport.
NLP is the study of human excellence. It describes human functioning, and
focuses on experience and experimenting rather than prescription; it can focus
on how to intervene, transform and improve human functioning. NLP uses
modelling to identify particular skills in successful people. (They like to say: “If
he can do it, then I can do it too”.)
Neuro refers to the nervous system and how it processes particular codes in the
body through the five senses. Linguistic refers to the use of language and how it
gives meaning to the neural processes through communication and symbolic
systems. Programming refers to how a person sequences his actions to achieve
his goals.

Prediction of Athletic Injury and Postinjury Emotional Response in Collegiate Athletes: A Prospective Study of an NCAA Division I Football TeamFalkstein, David Lawrence 08 1900 (has links)
Previous research has examined factors that predispose collegiate football players to injury (e.g., Petrie, 1993a, 1993b) as well as factors that influence athletes' psychological adjustment to being injured (e.g., Brewer, 1993; Leddy, Lambert, & Ogles, 1994). Despite the reports of the NCAA Injury Surveillance System that the greatest number of football injuries occur during the spring preseason (NCAA, 1997), studies have only examined injury during the regular season. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the antecedents and consequences of injury in collegiate football players during the spring preseason and across the regular competitive season. Specifically, life stress, social support, competitive trait anxiety, athletic identity, coping style, and preinjury mood state was measured to determine their relationship with the occurrence of injury and with postinjury emotional responses in athletes who sustain an injury at some point during either the spring preseason or regular competitive football season. The overall incidence of athletic injuries was low and the athletes suffered more severe injuries than has been typically found in collegiate football samples. Negative life stress was found to be directly related to the occurrence of injury and to postinjury negative emotional response and was moderated by other psychosocial variables in its influence on the occurrence of injury. Positive life stress was unrelated to injury risk or postinjury emotional response. Social support, sport anxiety, coping, and athletic identity were all found to moderate the negative life stress-injury relationship, as did playing status, suggesting that the complex combinations of these variables increase athletes' susceptibility to the impact of negative life stress. The athletes in this study experienced significant negative emotions following injury. After sustaining injuries they experienced levels of anger, depression, and fatigue that were similar to male psychiatric patients. Injury severity and preinjury mood were found to be the best predictors of postinjury emotional response. Of the psychosocial variables, only social support and sport anxiety were found to be predictive of negative emotional responses following injury. Previously identified relationships between postinjury emotional responses and situational and dispositional variables were replicated and extended.

The Influence of Psychological Stress and Personality upon Athletic Performance of Intercollegiate Tennis PlayersReed, Rebecca Lee 03 1900 (has links)
This investigation was designed to study coach and self-appraised groupings of intercollegiate tennis players who yield to stress and withstand stress and to determine if personality differences existed between groups. Subjects were 75 intercollegiate tennis players from Texas. A stress inventory and the Cattell Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire were instruments utilized in the study. Data were subjected to hierarchical profile-groupings, three-way analyses of variance, and a correlational analysis. Conclusions of the study were that intercollegiate tennis players and male and female players respond to stress differently; intercollegiate tennis players and male and female players who experience different levels of stress have different personalities; and players and coaches do not evaluate the ability to cope with stress similarly.
