| Description | Influence of the psychical state on sports performance in top sport has emphasized increasingly. Psychical and technical preparedness of professional athletes is almost equal in recent time, therefore actual psychical condition plays an important role. In this paper we present results of the survey research conducted on selected track cycling athletes and bicross racers. The research focuses on selected characteristics of personality, current psychical states and their changes in relation to a particular competition. In the paper we deal with influence of personality characteristics (temperament) on sport performance in chosen cyclist disciplines. Predominating temperament type was examined by temperament test. The second examination method was standardized questionnaire SPARO. We have found different percentage of individual temperament types with predominance of choleric and sangvinic type in closer examination of each proband. Generalizin these results for tested group, the probands would reach their optimal performance in the short, dynamic and explosiveness demanding sports. These results correspond with short-term intensive loading such as sprints in track cycling and dynamic power which is required during bicross race starts. |
