Namen magistrske naloge pred vami je bil v raziskovanju stopnje koncentracije med alpskimi smučarji. Spraševali smo se, ali v stopnji koncentracije obstajajo razlike, vezane na določene spremenljivke, predvsem na spol in starost alpskih smučarjev, pa tudi na regije. iz katerih smučarji prihajajo. Nadalje so nas, ob predpostavki obstoja razlik v koncentraciji, zanimali razlogi zanje. Nazadnje smo se v tej magistrski nalogi ukvarjali z vprašanjem obstoja razlik, vezanih na zgoraj opisane spremenljivke, tudi na področju določenih psiholoških značilnosti alpskih smučarjev. V ta namen smo z uporabo testa pozornosti in Wartegg testa preizkusili 110 smučarjev, starih med 10 in 16 let. Dobljene rezultate smo analizirali s programom SPSS 19.00 z uporabo t-testa. Za ugotavljanje povezanosti med dvema spremenljivkama smo uporabili Paersonov korelacijski koeficient povezanosti. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da pri spremenljivkah obstajajo razlike v koncentraciji. Razlike na področju psiholoških značilnosti pa so se, nasprotno, pojavile le pri spremenljivki spola. Starejši smučarji in smučarke so pri testu pozornosti dosegli boljše rezultate od mlajših. Iz tega sledi, da imajo starejši smučarji in smučarke večji obseg in mero pozornosti. Pri ugotavljanju razlik v koncentraciji med spoloma smo prišli do zaključka, da so na tem področju dečki uspešnejši od deklic. Dečki so se bolje izkazali na testu pozornosti, medtem ko Wartegg test kaže, da so tudi bolj motivirani in manj občutljivi od deklic. Na področju razlik v koncentraciji glede na regijo, iz katere prihajajo smučarji, smo ugotovili, da imajo boljšo mero in obseg koncentracije smučarji iz vzhodnih regij. Dobra sposobnost koncentracije je eden pomembnejših faktorjev vrhunskega nastopa in iz njega izvirajočega vrhunskega rezultata. Izsledki naše raziskave so lahko v pomoč tako športnim trenerjem kot tudi športnim psihologom pri izboljšanju prijemov v zvezi s povečanjem stopnje koncentracije mladih alpskih smučarjev med treningi in tekmovanji.

• Title: CONCENTRATION AND SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN ALPINE SKIERS

Abstract

The goal of the master`s thesis in front of you was to research the level of concentration among alpine skiers. We were wondering if there are differences between level of concentration based on certain variables, especially on gender and age of skiers, but also based on regions the skiers come from. Additionally, assuming these differences exist we wanted to know the underlying reasons for them. The last question we dealt with in this thesis was if differences based on decribed variabels, also exist on the area of psychological characteristics of alpine skiers. For this cause we used the test of attention and Wartegg test method and tested 110 alpine skiers between 10 and 16 years. We analysed the results with SPSS 19.00 software program, using the t-test. To establish the correlation between two variables Pearson`s correlation coefficient was applied. Results of the research show there are differences in level of concentration among our variables. On the opposit differences among selected variables on the area of psychological characteristics were shown only between male and female skiers. Older skiers scored better results in the test of attention method. Therefore we can assume their concentration range is larger than concentration rang of younger skiers. When sex grouping variable was used we came to the conclusion that male skiers have higher level of concentration than their female colleagues. Boys got better scores on the test of attention. Additionally, the Wartegg test showed that boys have higher motivation and are less sensitive than girls. Using the region variable we`ve discovered that skiers from east regions have higher level of concentration than the other skiers. Having the good ability of concentration is one of the most important factors for top performance and top result. The findings from our research can be usefull for ski instructors and sport psychologists. They could help them to enhance their methods to increasing the ability of concentration on performances and also on practices.
