Sporda İmgeleme Kullanımının Atletik Zihinsel Enerji İle İlişkisi

Mental energy is key for athletes, as sports performance depends on specific psychological characteristics. The fact that imagery is a mental method used to increase sportive performance reveals the necessity of handling it together with mental energy. The study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the mental athletic energy levels perceived by the athletes on their use of imagery and also to determine whether there is a significant difference between the demographic characteristics of the athletes. The study group of the research consists of a total of 303 athletes. As a data collection tool in the study, the "Personal Information Form" created by the researchers, the "Sports Imagery Questionnaire (SIQ)", and the "Athletic Mental Energy Scale (AMES)" were used. As a result, when the values of the use of imagery in sports were examined, a statistically significant difference was observed in favor of athletes in the cognitive imagery sub-dimension. A statistically significant difference was observed in favor of team sport in the Athletic Mental Energy Scale subdimension of composed. Also, it is seen that there are generally positive and moderately significant relationships in the relationship of the scales. In conclusion, male athletes' mental imagery levels were higher than female athletes. It is seen that the composition levels of the athletes who are interested in team sports are higher than the athletes who do individual sports. In addition, the changes in the mental athletic energy level perceived by the athletes affect the level of the athlete's use of imagery.

The Relationship of Use of Imagery in Sports with Athletic Mental Energy

Sportif performans belirli psikolojik özelliklere bağlı olduğundan, zihinsel enerji sporcular için anahtar niteliğindedir. İmgelemenin sportif performansı artırmak için kullanılan zihinsel bir yöntem olması, onu zihinsel enerji ile birlikte ele almanın gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Mevcut çalışmada, sporcuların algıladıkları zihinsel atletik enerji düzeylerinin imgeleme kullanımlarına etkisinin belirlenmesi ve sporcuların demografik özelliklerinde anlamlı bir farklılık olup olmadığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu toplam 303 sporcu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak; araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Sporda İmgeleri Envanteri (SİE)" ve "Atletik Zihinsel Enerji Ölçeği (AZEÖ)" kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, imgelemenin sporda kullanım değerleri incelendiğinde, bilişsel imgeleme alt boyutunda erkek sporcular lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmiştir. Atletik Zihinsel Enerji Ölçeği sakinlik alt boyutunda takım sporcular lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca ölçeklerin ilişkisinde genel olarak olumlu ve orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, erkek sporcuların bilişsel imgeleme düzeylerinin kadın sporculara göre daha yüksek olduğu, takım sporlarıyla ilgilenen sporcuların sakinlik düzeylerinin bireysel spor yapan sporculara göre daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Ek olarak, sporcuların algıladıkları zihinsel atletik enerji düzeyindeki değişimler sporcuların imgeleme kullanım düzeyini etkiler.
