- Abstract
Background. We started from the premise that motivation is a regulatory incentive for athletes, which dictates the choices made by each individual athlete to achieve sports performance. Aims. The research was initiated with the aim of identifying the rowers' motivational performance. In this regard, we aimed to quantify the overall motivation and the three components of motivation: valence, expectancy and instrumentality. Methods. To fulfill this goal, we used a questionnaire-based survey and the data obtained were processed using the statisticalmathematical method. The infrastructural level of motivation was calculated by determining the size of each dimension of motivation factors, based on which overall motivational force (FMG) and motivation instrumentality (IM) were calculated. Quantification was performed using the responses obtained for the content and context factors according to the Dunnett formula, 1972. The features are based on the results of the questionnaire survey, rated on a motivational assessment scale with three parameters: high, medium, low, based on the scores assigned to each choice. Results. The value recorded for FMG (6.65) indicates a medium level of the motivational structure among high performance rower students. The relatively low result of instrumentality (5.55) is due to the values of the structural elements of motivation, valence and instrumentality, which shows that intervention is required by a specialist (psychologist) in training the rowers. Also, the direct intervention of coaches in collaboration with psychologists can improve performance by optimizing the rowers' psychological training. Conclusions. The knowledge of the motivational level of athletes generates motivational strategies to optimize psychological training and maximize sports performance.
