Abstract des Autors
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between trait sport confidence and the resultant velocity of flat and pike swimming starts for male and female NCAA Division I swimmers. The male (n=10) and female (n=10) swimmers had a minimum of five years competitive swimming experience and had experience in both the flat and pike swimming starts. Males generated greater resultant velocity on both the flat (t (18) = 2.12, p<.05) and pike (t (18)=2.34, p<.05] swimming starts and had higher trait sport confidence measures (t (18) = 1.35, p<.05]. Analyses of variance procedures indicated a relationship between gender, flat swimming start resultant velocity [F (1,18) = 8.08, p<.05] and pike swimming start vertical velocity [F (1,18) = 5.61, p<.05]. Discriminant function analysis using gender as the grouping variable and the dependent variables of resultant velocity and trait sport conficence indicated significant findings for the flat [F (2,17) = 6.70, p<.01] and pike [F (2,17) = 5.65, p<.05] swimming starts.
