Do Mental Training Level and Perceived Fatigue Affect Competition Outcome in Volleyball?

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mental training (MT) and perceived fatigue levels (PF) on the performance of volleyball players participating in the Junior Volleyball Regional Championships. A total of 225 athletes from 10 girls' and 11 boys' volleyball teams were selected as participants. Prior to the competitions, the athletes completed two surveys, namely the "Chalder Fatigue Scale" and the " Mental Training Qestionnaire-SMTQ," to assess their PF levels and MT proficiency, respectively. Following the conclusion of the championship, the competition scores of all teams were obtained from the School Sports Federation. To examine the relationships among PF, MT levels, and competition scores, a Pearson correlation analysis was conducted. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between MT level and PF level (r = -.305, p<.01), indicating that higher levels of MT were associated with lower levels of PF. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was found between MT level and end-of-competition score (r = .244, p<.01), indicating that higher levels of MT were related to better performance outcomes. Conversely, a significant negative correlation was observed between PF level and end-of-competition score (r = -.149, p<.05), suggesting that higher levels of PF were associated with lower performance scores. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the combined predictive power of MT and PF level on the end-of-competition score. The results demonstrated that the two variables together significantly predicted the end-of-competition score (F(2, 222) = 7.811, p<.005). However, the individual contribution of PF level was not significant, whereas MT level emerged as a significant predictor. In conclusion, these findings indicate that MT and PF play crucial roles in the performance of volleyball players. Therefore, it is recommended that MT be integrated into athletes' training programs to enhance their overall performance outcomes.
