Liliia A. The ability to cope with stress influenced by personal determinants of qualified athletes

The dissertation considers the problem of determining the personal determinants of the formation of stress resistance of qualified athletes - on the example of qualified handball players. High performance sport places increased demands on the physiological and personal (psychological) qualities of athletes. That is why there is a high scientific interest in the mechanisms, methods and techniques that contribute to stress resistance in combination with high results demonstrated by athletes. The aim of the study is to determine the personal characteristics that determine the formation of stress resistance of qualified athletes and to develop a technology aimed at improving the efficiency of the process of formation and correction of stress resistance. Objectives of the study: 1. To analyse scientific literature and Internet data on the problem of stress resistance and its influence on the performance of sports activities and to substantiate the theoretical model of stress resistance of qualified athletes. 2. Identification of typical situations in the process of sports activity which are perceived as stressful by qualified sportsmen (on the example of women's handball). 3. Identification of peculiarities of application of strategies of overcoming stress by qualified sportsmen (on the example of women's handball). 4. Establishment of manifestations and connections of psychological characteristics and psychophysiological properties of qualified sportsmen with a choice of strategies of overcoming stress (on the example of women's handball). 5. Development of the technology of formation and correction of stress resistance, according to the determined personal resource of qualified handball players. The practical significance of the research is connected with the introduction of the technology of formation and correction of stress resistance of qualified handball players. At the stage of the formative experiment, the developed pedagogical measures for the formation and correction of stress resistance are presented in the form of a technology based on the theoretical model of athlete's stress resistance, namely, as a system of methods, techniques, steps, recommendations, the sequence of which ensures the solution of tasks on forming an idea of the structure of stress resistance, personal qualities that form stress resistance.
