Control of the psychophysiological state of highly qualified wrestlers

The effectiveness of the competitive activity of top-class athletes depends on the level of all kinds of trainings, but the skill of regulation of their psychophysiological state is of high priority for a player in a stressful situation of competition. The result of the overall performance often depends immediately on the psychophysiological state of an athlete in the moment of realization of the “last” technical action of a game, be it a foul shot in a basketball game with a tie during the last seconds of a match or the last ball in a frame at a cost of the victory or the loss of a billiard match. Due to the reason the nervous system, with the individual and typological peculiarities of the athlete, is in charge of the high precision of movements and proprioceptive sensuality in differentiation of muscular efforts, anxiety level, strength and mobility of nervous processes. The objective – the establishment of the model characteristics of the psychophysiological state of highly-qualified basketball and billiard players in the moment of realization of a technical action under conditions of a stressful situation. Methods. theoretical analysis and generalization; method of expert estimations; psychophysiological methods; pedagogical observation; pedagogical testing; methods of mathematical statistics. Results. In the course of the research the ideal characteristics of the psychophysiological state of highly-qualified basketball and billiard players for the effective realization of a technical action under conditions of the stress have been determined. Conclusions. Modelling of a stressful game situation and the use of a number of psychophysiological and pedagogical tests have allowed to obtain the average figures of quality of the equilibrium function with and without visual control, voluntary attention span, attention effectiveness, productivity, stress tolerance and coefficient of motivational, volitional and typological component in high-qualified athletes.

Psychophysiological State

The goal of physical education in schools is to facilitate the preparation harmoniously developed, highly qualified specialists. The training course in physical education provides the following tasks: training students in high moral, volitional and physical qualities; readiness for effective work; the preservation and promotion of health; promoting good formation and the comprehensive development of the body; maintain high efficiency over the entire study period. The role and importance of physical culture and sports is: - to reduce terms of professional adaptation, professional skills, productivity, resistance to unfavorable environment; - maintaining health and reducing accidents, improving professional development and motor skills important in order to maximize the expansion and deepening of motor capacity and motor experience regarding mastering the profession; - improve professionally important physiological functions for the professional development of and resistance to unfavorable working environment.

Relational Skills

The aim of this study was to determine how facial attractiveness of applicants influences pre-selective evaluation in two different occupational fields (one relational and one non-relational). A total of 224 participants (working individuals and students) were asked to judge a fictitious applicant based on a resumé (applicant’s qualifications: highly vs. less qualified) and a photograph (attractive vs. unattractive). Overall, the results showed that facial-attractiveness effects on interpersonal judgments are not absolute, and that their occurrence partly depends on the situation in which the judgments are made. Regardless of occupational field, when the applicants were highly qualified (whether attractive or unattractive) they were systematically judged positively, whereas in the case of less qualified applicants, facial attractiveness differentially affected judgments in the two occupational fields: less-qualified but attractive applicants were only judged more favorably than less-qualified and unattractive ones when the job involved relational skills.
