Popis:	Purpose. The research purpose was to study the relationship of metacognitive strategies with indicators of mental self-regulation of an athlete: regulatory and volitional processes. Research methods and organization. The type of study is an empirical psychological testing. Methods: “Metacognitive strategies in decision making in difficult situations” questionnaire, “Difficulties of self-regulation in sports-significant situations” questionnaire, “Scale of action control” questionnaire, "Style of self-regulation of behavior" questionnaire. Sample group: 134 qualified athletes (54 men and 80 women) aged 18-23 years, engaged in various sports. Research results. The frequency of applying theorizing and reflecting strategies by athletes (men and women) is connected with the characteristics of volitional regulation, and the frequency of controlling cognitive processes is connected with programming of activities. We found some differences in the relationship of metacognitive strategies with regulatory processes in male and female athletes. We determined that increasing effectiveness of metacognitive strategies reduces difficulties of mental self-regulation: it is easier for athletes to restrain negative emotions, become ambitious and more active. Growing effectiveness of a number of metacognitive strategies is connected with increasing awareness of athletes' self-regulation. Conclusion. The research revealed statistically significant connections of metacognitive strategies with regulatory and volitional processes of athletes. Increasing the frequency of use and effectiveness of metacognitive strategies can both improve and deteriorate athletes’ mental self-regulation. The research results can be used to develop recommendations for the individualization of metacognitive strategies, taking into account the gender of athletes and the goals of sports training.
