“…Group comparisons showed higher mental strength in the <2, 2-5, and >5 years of experience groups than the participants with no CS experience. These findings are congruent with the results found by Küçük (2020), who showed a significantly positive correlation between resilience and experience in karatekas. Pujszo et al (2019) found a significant positive relationship between CS experience and resilience in adult practitioners.…”

Mental strength is defined as a person’s ability to persist through challenging situations and recover from hardships and failures. Due to combat sports (CS) vigorous nature, several authors have identified various psychological factors modified through CS engagement and experience. This research aimed to determine the psychometrics of the Mental Strength Scale, explore the correlations between mental strength and age, CS experience, and competitive engagement, and investigate the existing group differences in mental strength based on sex, age, CS engagement, competition engagement, and CS experience. The total sample included 431 participants from 18 to 67 years of age, including 373 CS practitioners and 58 non-practitioners. Results revealed that The Mental Strength Scale demonstrated good internal validity (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.809) and convergent validity (Grit Scale correlation: p < .001, r = .539; Brief Resilience Scale correlation: p < .001, r = .551). A positive correlation was found between CS experience and mental strength. Group comparison demonstrated higher mental strength in CS practitioners than non-practitioners and in men compared to women. Moreover, CS participants in the >5, 2-5, and <2 years of experience reported higher mental strength than participants with no CS experience. In conclusion, the findings confirm that the Mental Strength Scale is a good psychometric instrument to assess the degree of mental strength, particularly in CS practitioners, and that CS engagement and experience positively influence the development of mental strength.

“…Hypothesis 4 was retained as the comparison between sexes revealed higher mental strength in males than females. This finding is congruent with the results of Küçük (2020), Pujszo et al (2019), andLorenco-Lima (2023), who also found psychological (resilience and grit) differences between male and female CS practitioners.…”

This research aims to analyze in depth the stress management abilities of karate athletes in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research, with a survey approach. The sample for this research was 30 male karate athletes who were undergoing PELATDA (Regional Training) and would be prepared to participate in the national karate championship in Indonesia. Athlete characteristics: age 18.01±3.2 years, training experience 10.46±0.5 years, age at first competition 11.87±5.9 years, number of competition involvement in one year 3 – 5 competitions. The instrument used in this research was a questionnaire prepared using a Likert scale. There are four dimensions in this instrument, namely the competition dimension, emotional dimension, substantial dimension and mental dimension. Data analysis was descriptive using a percentage formula, then grouped into four categories. The results of this study were 11 athletes (36%) had 'very high' stress, 5 athletes (19%) had 'high' stress, 6 athletes (21%) had 'low' stress 8 athletes (24%) had 'very low' stress'. This conclusion is that stress is a psychological condition that must be managed well by athletes. Because stress can affect an athlete's performance directly or indirectly. Practical ways to manage stress are positive thinking, taking special time for yourself, relaxation, and mental exercise. This research hopes to provide in-depth insight and information on the importance of managing stress in athletes in all types of sports.

“…In the current research, martial artists registered a moderate level of resilience, a low level of Foul play, a slightly below average level for Go-ahead factor, and an average level of Assertiveness (at group level). In addition, specialized literature mentioned that martial arts athletes’ resilience (karate practitioners) was at mid-level ( Kuçuk Kiliç, 2020 ) (BRS was used). Considering assertiveness, it was found that male athletes in individual sports (including taekwondo, judo, and wrestling) registered high values; however, only 32% of athletes, in the entire sample, were martial artists ( Yetis, 2016 ).…”

IntroductionFor martial artists, the ability to manage reactions in the face of adversity and bounce back after a stressful event can have major impact on performance. The scope of the research is to investigate martial artists’ level of resilience and aggression (Go-ahead, Foul play, and Assertiveness factors), what is specific to athletes and who have suffered from moderate and/or severe injuries (in terms of resilience and three factors of aggression examined), and test the possibility that a psychological variable under investigation can predict athletes’ injury severity.Materials and methodsA total sample of 154 athletes from striking combat sports—SC (karate, taekwondo, kickboxing, and boxing), grappling combat sports—GC (judo and BJJ), and mixed martial artists (MMA) participated in the research. For assessing resilience, the Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) was used, and for aggression, the Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Sports Aggression Questionnaire was used. An injury report form was also created and applied to athletes.ResultsThe post-hoc tests (after running a single-factor multivariate analysis of variance) revealed significant differences for resilience and Foul (violent) play between the sports disciplines analyzed. A significant positive correlation was found between athletes’ injury severity and assertiveness in SC and between injury severity and resilience in GC. Through the t-test for independent samples, it was highlighted that the average value for Foul (violent) play is significantly higher in athletes who have suffered mild, moderate, and/or severe injuries compared with martial arts athletes who have suffered from only mild/minor injuries. A binomial logistic regression was also performed to verify to what extent Foul play predicts athletes’ injury severity.ConclusionA low level of Foul (violent) play is linked with a decreased likelihood of moderate and/or severe injuries in martial arts athletes. The study findings suggest that resilience, foul play, and assertiveness have an important role in injury prevention among martial artists.
