Description
Summary:"The purpose of this study was to examine the self-talk of elite triathletes during a competition. Furthermore, we wanted to investigate possible differences in content and frequency in self-talk during a triathlon competition among elite and club triathletes. Participants were ten members of the Norwegian triathlon national team as well as ten triathletes competing at Norwegian club level. The competition consisted of an indoor sprint-distance triathlon (a 750 m pool swim leg, a 20 km ergometer cycling leg, and a 5 km treadmill run leg). Self-talk content and frequency were measured using a Norwegian version of the Automatic Self-Talk Questionnaire for Sports (ASTQS). Overall, results showed that all athletes reported more positive than negative self-talk during competition. Moreover, elite athletes reported more confidence-inducing self-talk compared to the club level athletes during the swim. The findings also indicated that elite athletes were more able than club athletes to maintain higher levels of positive self-talk during the latter stages of the competition (5 km run). This tendency was reversed regarding negative self-talk. Elite athletes reported less negative self-talk compared to club level athletes towards the end of the competition."
"Hensikten med studien var å undersøke hva elitetriatleter sier til seg selv (selvsnakk, SS) under en konkurranse. Deretter ønsket vi å undersøke om det var forskjell og eventuelle endringer i innholdet i og frekvensen av SS hos eliteutøvere versus klubbutøvere under de ulike idrettsgrenene i konkurranse. Totalt deltok tjue triatleter i studien: ti landslagsutøvere og ti klubbutøvere. Konkurransen besto av en innendørs triatlon (750 m svømming i basseng, 20 km sykling på ergometersykkel og 5 km løp på tredemølle). For å kunne kartlegge SS under konkurransen besvarte deltakerne en norsk versjon av Automatic Self-Talk Questionnaire for Sports (ASTQS). ASTQS består av fire positive SS-kategorier: opp-psyking, instruksjoner, tillit og angstkontroll, og tre negative SS-kategorier: bekymring, mental frakopling, somatisk tretthet, samt en kategori benevnt som irrelevant SS. Resultatene viste at alle utøverne rapporterte mer positiv SS enn negativ SS under konkurranse. Videre rapporterte eliteutøverne signifikant oftere enn klubbutøvere utsagn i SS-kategorien tillit under svømmingen. Funnene tydet også på at eliteutøverne i større grad enn klubbutøverne opprettholdt positiv SS under den siste delen av konkurransen (løp). Tendensen var motsatt for negativ SS, der eliteutøverne rapporterte mindre negativ SS enn det klubbutøverne gjorde mot slutten av konkurransen / under siste distanse."
