An Attempt to Grasp the Psychological State of Athletes Using a Psychological Testing System in College Sports Club Activities

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the online examination system for grasping the psychological state of players in university sports club by clarifying the relationship between the psychological state and competition performance, and the transition of the state. During the month and a half before the target game, we conducted two tests on one track and field club to compare the scores of players who improved their records and those who did not, and examined changes in scores. As a result, the players who were able to break their own records had high patience and effectiveness in improving their performance at the start of the season. However, the endurance was significantly decreased at the second measurement. Additionally, the team's performance in the target game was better than in last three years. These findings suggest the effectiveness of grasping mental states in mental health care and team management.
