The aim of our study is to better the initial selection process in performance target shooting, considering the psychological profile -- in relation to the somato-functional side- as a decisive factor in obtaining performance. Methods: the study was carried out at the Arad Municipal Sporting Club (MSC) in two stages. In the first one 148 students filled out the Cattelll 16FP personality test in the presence of an authorized psychologist and have performed tests specific to the initial selection (TSSI): balance test (TE), spatial coordination test (TCS), skill and precision test (TIP). Two groups were set up: group A (GR. A, N=18 subjects, 7 girls, 11 boys, Age average 13.77± 0.42 years) which scored above average in five categories (C,E, F, H, Q) and had an express desire to practice target shooting; and group B (GR.B, N =18 subjects, 9 girls, 9 boys, age average 13.6±0.38 years) with a point average above specific test score results (M=3) and an express desire to practice target shooting. In the second stage the two groups have performed the shooting trial (PF) in the target range. Results: our study produced no evidence towards a positive and significant relationship between shooting range subject performance and the proposed psychological profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
