Abstract

V originále

The aim of this study was to survey possible relations between the types of motivation and the development of overtraining syndrome symptoms in adolescent elite swimmers. The study is based on the quantitative research and the data were collected through one-time questionnaire survey. The research sample included 102 swimmers in the age range 10-19 years (M=14,69 years; SD=2,58) and the proportion between females and males was 57,8 % to 42,2 %. Sport Motivation Scale was used to measure the motivation. Profile of Mood States questionnaire was used to indicate overtraining. Psychometric properties of both methods have been verified. This study confirms the existence of relations between some types of motivation and the symptoms of overtraining syndrome. In particular, the study found significant relations between amotivation and symptoms of overtraining syndrome; negative correlation between intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation and fatigue; negative correlation between fatigue and intrinsic motivation to know and negative correlation between external regulation and vitality. General results suggest gender differences in the structure of swimmer motivation. Women scored in motivation components: identification, intrinsic motivation to know and intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation, higher than men. Men had a higher amotivation value. At the level of perceived training load, men scored higher than women, which is in contrary to previous studies performed on various research samples. The findings of this study shall be used in the education of coaches, swimmers and their parents.
