INTEGRATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN TRAINING
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of psychological and physiological approaches, tools, and methods in the system of integral training of athletes. The attention of scientists is focused on the processes of cognitive assessment of athletes, emotion management, and stress coping strategies used by athletes. The relevance of the topic emphasizes the necessity of integrating psychological and physiological approaches in the training of athletes to optimize results in a competitive environment.
Research methods. The study employed theoretical research methods, surveys, analysis of literary data, J. Taylor's "Measurement of Anxiety Level," adapted by V. G. Norikadze; T. Holmes and R. Rahe's "Stress Resistance and Stress Adaptation"; and the symptomatic questionnaire by A. Volkov and N. Vodopyanova "Well-being in Extreme Situations."
Research results. In the assessment and correction of mental disorders, key factors were identified, and prevailing sources of stress were examined, along with methods for measuring stress resilience in athletes. The authors indicated that the results of the indicators cannot be considered as manometric, as different individuals may respond differently to the same situation due to varying physiological systems.
Conclusions were drawn that the integration of psychological and physiological approaches in athlete training optimizes outcomes. The use of a wide range of psychological tools and techniques, tailored to the individual characteristics and psychosomatic nature of each athlete, directly influences the development of personal qualities necessary for overcoming anxiety and stress in sports competitions.
