Indicators of High Stress Tolerance and Vigilance of the Young Football Players

Abstract

It is emphasized that modern football is a sports game at fairly high speeds, with the constant movement of almost all players of both teams and the rapid change of game situations. Thus, the uncompromising struggle with sometimes hard martial arts, dedication of athletes both physically and psychologically is characteristic. This requires high moral and volitional skills, and the ability to act effectively in the most difficult conditions, among which is the need for high noise immunity against unexpected stimuli. But this is impossible without a high level of stress tolerance and vigilance. However, the main components of stress resistance (the level of emotional strengths and trait anxiety), as well as vigilance parameters in football are still understudied, especially of young athletes. The importance of determining the type of personality, as well as the control of stress tolerance indicators and vigilance parameters for sports selection and better management of the training process in youth football is shown. When the expressed extroversion and/or instability of emotions (and / or increase of trait anxiety level), especially if vigilance parameters on maximum permissible values are discovered - it is necessary to consider such athletes as the ones in a risk zone of obvious violations of vigilance growth and timely develop special training programs for them to prevent it.
