Correlation of the individual`s psychophysiological characteristics and the success of professional curlers

Abstract

The article examines the relationship between the individual psychophysiological characteristics of girls involved in professional curling and the success of their performances. As part of the study, a tapping test was conducted to determine the strength of the nervous system, and a personality questionnaire by G. Eysenck, which allows assessing the type of temperament and the level of neuroticism. The results showed that the success of curling girls' performances correlates with their psychophysiological characteristics, such as the strength of the nervous system and emotional stability. It was found that players with a strong nervous system and low levels of neuroticism show more stable results in their playing positions. The data obtained emphasize the importance of taking into account individual psychophysiological characteristics when forming teams and distributing roles in women's curling. The results of the study can be used to optimize the training process and improve the performance of professional curling athletes.
