THE EFFECTS OF SPORTING MASSAGE ON MOTIVATION AND SITUATIONAL ANXIETY IN FEMALE FOOTBALLERS

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sporting massage on motivation and situational anxiety in female footballers. The sample group used in the study consists of a total of 19 athletes between the ages of 18-25 randomly selected from healthy volunteer female athletes who actively play football in various clubs in Gaziantep province. The measurements were done at the end of the 2015-2016 football season, when training and matches ended, at an interval of 3 days. The athletes were not given any training or diet program. The Sports Motivation Scale and the Situational Anxiety Inventory were used for psychological features. The SPSS 22.00 program was used for statistical analysis. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the pre-exercise sporting massage increased the level of psychological stimulation and motivation and had a positive impact on situational anxiety. In conclusion, it is thought that massage + warmup routines for female footballers impact positively on psychological performances and will contribute to the work to be done in this field.
