- Abstract:
- In team sports, a significant role belongs to the team characteristics of the personality of athletes. In recent years, cheerleading has grown as one of the most popular extreme sports. The purpose of the study was to study the psychological characteristics of the personality of cheerleading athletes, aimed at team building and reducing injuries. To achieve this goal, V.K. Gerbachevsky’s “Level of claims”, C.D. Spielberger and Y.L. Khanin’s “Personal and situational anxiety”. V.V. Boyko’s “Communicative tolerance” methods were chosen. Based on the results of the analysis, a psychological model of a correctional program developed and implemented, aimed at team building and reducing the anxiety of athletes. Athletes of 15–16 years of cheerleading of the first (n = 15), including the introduction of the model of the program and the second composition (n = 15), who were engaged in the usual program, examined. It conducted the studies in natural conditions during cheerleading training. The program included psychological training and teamwork on complex acrobatic elements for 60 days. The received data processed using the methods of mathematical statistics with the calculation of M±m ±(. The significance of differences was determined by Student’s t-test for parametric data. It performed the correlation analysis using the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and the coefficient of determination (R2). The study results showed that, in order to form a team and reduce injuries in it, team sports should consider age patterns and developmental features. When developing models of correctional programs, one should focus in the training process not only on developing the skills of joint movements of athletes, but pay special attention to the formation of such team characteristics as trust, responsibility, mutual understanding, mutual respect, tolerance. Particular attention should pay to the relationship between the team and the coach, who responsibility for team ethics and a comfortable environment in the team of athletes.
