Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of mental strength on the competitive performance of student Taekwondo sparring athletes. A total of 343 middle school, high school, and university students registered as Taekwondo sparring athletes with the Korea Taekwondo Association were conveniently sampled. The Mental Toughness Test developed by Loehr was utilized after expert consultations. Data analysis involved t-tests and one-way ANOVA to assess the levels of mental strength sub-factors based on general characteristics, followed by post hoc tests using the Schéffe method for intergroup comparisons. Correlation analysis and multiple regression were conducted to examine the relationship between sub-factors of mental strength and competitive ability. The results indicated significant differences in mental strength sub-factors-confidence, level of awakening regulation, visualization and mental imagery regulation, motivation level, positive energy, and attitude control-based on gender and age among Taekwondo sparring student athletes. In terms of perceived competitive ability, significant differences were found based on age and sports experience. Consequently, beyond psychological training, the study revealed that age and diverse experiences positively influence specific aspects of mental strength among Taekwondo sparring student athletes. Therefore, coaching and training for these athletes, particularly during middle and high school years, should incorporate psychological aspects alongside diverse competition experiences and training to help overcome performance evaluation anxieties during matches.

본 연구는 학생 태권도 겨루기 선수들의 정신력이 태권도 겨루기 경기력에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상은 대한태권도협회에 태권도 겨루기 선수로 등록이 되어 있는 중학교, 고등학교, 대학교 343명을 대상으로 편의표집 방법을 사용하였으며, 전문가 회의를 통해 Loehr가 제작한 Mental Toughness Test 검사도구를 사용하였다. 자료분석은 일반적 특성에 따른 정신력의 하위요인별 수준을 분석하기 위하여 t-test, 일원배치분산을 실시하였고, 집단 간 다중비교를 위하여 Schéffe test를 통해 사후검증을 실시하였다. 정신력의 하위요인별 수준과 경기력을 분석하기 위하여 상관분석 및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 태권도 겨루기 학생 선수들의 일반적 특성인 성별과 연령에 따른 정신력 차이에서 정신력 관련 하위요인 중 자신감, 각성 수준 조절, 시각화 및 심상조절, 동기 수준, 긍정적 에너지, 태도 조절은 성별과 연령에서 유의한 차이가 나타났고, 인지된 경기력에서는 연령과 운동 경력에서 유의한 차이가 나타나 결과적으로 태권도 겨루기 학생 선수들의 경우 심리적 훈련 이외에 연령과 다양한 경험이 정신력과 관련 하위요소에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 태권도 겨루기 학생 선수들 중 특히 중학교 고등학교 시기에는 다양한 시합의 경험과 훈련 시 심리적을 동반하여 시합에서의 결과적인 자신 평가에 대한 두려움을 이겨낼 수 있도록 지도와 훈련이 제공되어야 하겠다.
