EXPERIMENTAL STUDY REGARDING THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PSIHOLOGICAL PROFILE IN THE INITIAL SELECTION FOR SPORT SHOOTING
Abstract
The aim of our study is to better the initial selection process in performance
target shooting, considering the psychological profile – in
relation to the somato-functional side- as a decisive factor in
obtaining performance. Methods: the study was carried out at the
Arad Municipal Sporting Club (MSC) in two stages. In the first one
148 students filled out the Cattelll 16FP personality test in the presence
of an authorized psychologist and have performed tests specific
to the initial selection (TSSI): balance test (TE), spatial coordination
test (TCS), skill and precision test (TIP). Two groups were
set up: group A (GR. A, N=18 subjects, 7 girls, 11 boys, Age average
13.77± 0.42 years) which scored above average in five categories
(C,E, F, H, Q) and had an express desire to practice target
shooting; and group B (GR.B, N =18 subjects, 9 girls, 9 boys, age
average 13.6±0.38 years) with a point average above specific test
score results (M=3) and an express desire to practice target shooting.
In the second stage the two groups have performed the shooting
trial (PF) in the target range. Results: our study produced no
evidence towards a positive and significant relationship between
shooting range subject performance and the proposed psychological
profile.
