Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to define the level and structure of selected psychological factors of sprinters specializing in 400 m run in comparison to different discipline competitors and untrained students. Sixty people (26 women and 34 men) participating in the study were divided into three groups: 400 m runners (N = 19), athletes of different sport disciplines (N = 19) and untrained students (N = 22). In the investigation the following parameters were evaluated: 1. The level of motivation in sport-related situations using the Sports Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ). 2. The level of sense of coherence and its three components by means of the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SOC-29). The results of tests and their analysis demonstrate that the level of motivation and sense of coherence of sportsmen, including 400 m sprinters, is a little bit (statistically insignificant) higher than sportswomen. 400 m runners (males and females) has also insignificant higher level of motivation and SOC than untrained persons. Irresolvable remains the problem whether this situation is an effect of selection to sport disciplines (including the extreme 400 m run) persons of high level of motivation and psychical resistance, or the specific training preparing for this race is the factor which forms a higher level of motivation and SOC?
