The relationship of behavioral responses to selected swimming performance classifications

Abstract

This study investigated relationships between behavioral responses on the Psychological Inventories for Competitive Swimmers to selected performance classifications at the 1977 Canadian Winter National Swimming Championships. The responses of 1976 male and female swimmers, aged 12 to 26 were obtained. At the conclusion of competition the responses were divided into four groups representing social behaviors, attitudinal behaviors, activity behaviors and motivational events.
