Abstract
The paper presents the results of an empirical study of highly qualified rowers’ volition maturity. The urgency of the issue is determined by the importance of the sportsmen’s will to achieve their maximum results in competitions, in particular, it is about such qualities as endurance, courage, vigor, patience, etc. The purpose of the article is to clarify the requirements for highly qualified rowers’ volition and evaluation of its maturity level. 13 highly qualified female and male rowers took part in the experiment. In order to assess the sportsmen’s volition maturity, the following re-search methods were used: Eysenk’s Extraversion, Introversion and Neuroticism Scale; 16PF Questionnaire by R. Cat-tell, “Courage in Natural Experiment” Scale by O. Vysotskyi, Volition Self-Assessment Inventory by N. Stambulova; Endurance Dynamometric Method by Ye. Iliin. The results of the study have shown that the essential components of the highly qualified rowers’ volition are such basic volitional qualities as endurance, courage, vigor, and patience. It has been found that the respondents can be characterized as challenging, energetic, adventurous, persistent, and assertive. The maturity level of the endurance meets the standards. As for vigor, most of the respondents have its average and low levels of maturity. The female respondents’ volition maturity level is lower than the male sportsmen’s one, though in general it is sufficient for successful participation in sports competitions at the international level. The energy level is below average in the female sportsmen. Highly qualified rowers’ volition requires further development in the direction of increasing energy, perseverance, reliability, self-organization, stability, and equilibrium.
