Elite (n=37), sub-elite (n=37) or non-elite (n=24) sport persons participating in any one of eight individual Olympic recognized sports (archery, fencing, gymnastics, ice skating, swimming, track and field, weightlifting and wrestling) took part in the study. Age and sex of subjects were not controlled. Subjects were given the 'How Healthy a Life do you Lead?', the 'Profile of Mood States' and a general questionnaire to complete. Descriptive analysis portrayed similar lifestyle and mood profiles across the three levels of sport performance while discriminant analysis revealed that lifestyle as well as mood variables could not predict level of sport performance (p < 0.05). The research hypotheses that healthier lifestyle and mood profiles are related to better sport performance were therefore not supported. Other results however revealed that the structure of the lifestyles was related to level of sport performance. Considerations for future research in this area are discussed. 2015-09-14T08:11:26Z 2015-09-14T08:11:26Z 1995 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13858 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
