Idrottspsykologisk träning för att förebygga skador och främja hälsa - En kvalitativ studie om handbollsungdomars upplevelser och motivation av idrottspsykologisk träning
(2022) PSYK11 20212Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Elitidrottare utsätts kontinuerligt för fysiologiska och psykologiska krav. En alltför krävande mental och fysisk ansträngning riskerar att öka skaderisken bland unga elitidrottare och kan yttras genom såväl fysiska skador som mentala bekymmer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa ansats var att undersöka för unga handbollsspelares upplevelser av idrottspsykologis träning och i förlängningen huruvida träningen upplevdes som genomförbar, passande och meningsfull. Uppsatsen syftade därtill att undersöka vad spelarna upplevde som betydelsefullt för motivationen till att framöver utöva den idrottspsykologiska träningen. Urvalet bestod av fem handbollsspelare (16-18 år) som under 6-7 veckor genomförde idrottspsykologiska övningar. Uppsatsens empiri... (More)

Urvalet bestod av fem handbollsspelare (16-18 år) som under 6-7 veckor genomförde idrottspsykologiska övningar. Uppsatsens empiri samlades in genom en semi-strukturerad fokusgruppintervju och bearbetades därefter utifrån en tematisk analys. Övningarna betraktades som genomförbara, passande (utifrån spelarnas ålder och handbollsnivå) och meningsfulla. Deltagarna upplevde ett bättre fokus och en ökad medvetenhet. Studiens resultat antydde att självbestämmande och kompetens var av betydelse för spelarnas vidare motivation. Den inre motivationen uttrycktes därutöver vara betydelsefull för att framöver utföra den idrottspsykologiska träningen. För att bibehålla spelarnas motivation behövde nya övningar, samt andra typer av övningar framöver utvecklas. Avslutningsvis konstaterades det att den idrottspsykologiska träningen behövde vidare undersökas och att framtida forskning behöver komplettera kvalitativa undersökningar med kvantitativa studier för effektprövning. Ytterligare förslag var att utföra studier inom olika idrotter. (Less)
- Abstract
- Elite athletes are constantly exposed to physiological and psychological
demands. An excessively demanding mental and physiological effort could
increase the risk of injury among young elite athletes and can be manifested through physical injuries as well as mental problems. The purpose of this qualitative approach was to examine young handball players’ experiences of sport psychology training and by extension, wether the training was perceived as feasible, appropriate and meaningful. The thesis also aimed to examine what the players’ perceived as important for the motivation to practice sports psychology training in the future.

The thesis also aimed to examine what the players’ perceived as important for the motivation to practice sports psychology training in the future. The participants were five handball players (16-18 years) who performed sport psychology exercises for 6-7 weeks. The empiri was collected trough a semi-structured focus group interview and processed based on a thematic analysis. The exercises were considered as feasible, appropriate and meaningful. The participants experienced a better focus and increased awareness. The result of the study indicated that self-determination and competence were experienced important for further motivation. Furthermore, students’ own motivation was expressed to be important for carrying out sport psychology training in the future. To be able to maintain the players’ motivation, new exercises, as well as other types of exercises needed to be developed. Finally, the study concluded that the sport
psychology training needed to be further examined and that future research
needed to supplement qualitative studies with quantitative studies in order to ascertain actual effects. Another proposal was to carry out studies in differents sports. (Less)
