| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the research is to determine dependence of the parameters of attention on the dominating time
perspective and compare significant differences in the representatives of individual and team sports. The
research participants are female athletes of sports schools for children and youth. The sample of individual sports
(Group 1) included representatives of rhythmic gymnastics and track and field (n = 35; 52.24%). The sample of
team sports (Group 2) involved of handball players and volleyball players (n = 32; 47.76%). Research methods
applied: “Schulte Tables” (Rogov, 1999), “Landolt C Rings”, (Pashukova et al., 1996); “Munsterberg Test”
(Pashukova et al., 1996); “Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory” (Zimbardo & Gonzalez, 1984). Results. A
graphical structure of young female athletes’ time perspective was created. No significant differences between
the parameters of attention between the athletes in individual (Group 1) and team sports (Group 2) were found.
The research substantiates that the formation of the parameters of attention in youth does not depend on a kind of
sport. Correlations between the parameters of attention and the parameters of time perspective were determined
(р<.05; р<.01). It was established that the future (F) has most significant correlations – four – with the main
parameters of attention: stability (.095; p≤.05), concentration (.107; p≤.05), volume (.212; p≤.01) and selectivity
(.094; p≤.05). It was emphasized that domination of orientation towards the future in the dimensions of attention
is a factor of successful educational and training activities of young female athletes. There were differences
between the groups of athletes with different parameters of attention determined by the median (Me). It was
proved that the formation of high levels of attention ensures achievement of the results of educational and
training activities of young female athletes and focuses their activity in the dimensions of time orientations: the
future (F), the hedonistic present (HP), the positive past (PP). Conclusions. The obtained empirical facts should
be operationalized into educational and training activities at sports schools for children and youth. | uk_UA |
