Journal Title: Journal of Combat Sports and Martial Arts - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
[b]Introduction.[/b] The aim of the thesis is to specify the level of trait, state and anger control measured by the Spielberger’s STAXI-2 test within the group of champions training judo and determine whether there are differences between sportsmen and control group (people who are not practising any sport) in terms of traits being tested . [b]Material and methods.[/b] The participants of research were 16 champions training judo at the age of 18-31 and the control group consisting of 35 students at the similar age who do not practice any sport. In order to obtain data on anger with the regard to champions training judo and the control group, Spielbergers STAXI-2 Self-assessment Questionnaire (part 1,2, and 3) was applied to assess state, traits, expression and anger control. [b]Results and Conclusions. [/b]The level of anger within judo practitioners remains on low and moderate level; sportsmen are characterized by higher level of state and trait than persons who do no take up any sport. At the same time sportsmen cope better with emotion control and expression, which is probably (due to experience and training) the result of training the skill of handling strong emotions.
