THE ROLE OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RECOVERY PROCESS IN ATHLETES AFTER TRAINING AND DURING THE COMPETITION PERIOD
Abstract
This article highlights the scientific and practical significance of the psychological recovery process in athletes after training sessions and during the competition period. The study was conducted with the participation of qualified belt wrestlers at the training stage. During the research, the athletes’ motivational state and anxiety level were assessed using the methods of Charles D. Spielberger and V.F. Sopov. The athletes in the experimental group were provided with a psychological recovery exercise program consisting of breathing exercises, autogenic training, visualization, sensory recovery, and cognitive reappraisal methods. At the end of the experiment, an increase in emotional stability, a decrease in anxiety levels, and an improvement in intrinsic motivation were observed among the athletes.
