چکیده

هدف
هدف از اجرای پژوهش حاضر بررسی میزان موفقیت ورزشی کاراته کاران ایران با تاکید بر خلاقیت فردی می باشد بررسی اینکه آیا نوع مشارکت اولیه در ورزش (تخصص اولیه و تنوع)، سن شروع ورزش و سطح عملکرد ورزشی می تواند خلاقیت را در ورزشکاران نخبه کاراته افزایش دهد یا خیر.
روش پژوهش
این مطالعه مقطعی و توصیفی- تحلیلی در بین ورزشکاران کاراته تیم ملی و لیگ برتر (69 نفر) انجام شد. برای تعیین سطح عملکرد و نوع فعالیت بدنی افراد از مقیاس خلاقیت تورنس و پرسشنامه سابقه فردی استفاده شد. آزمون تفکر خلاق تورنس (TTCT) (1977) نشان داد که مولفه های روانی، انعطاف پذیری، اصالت و بسط، مهمترین فرآیندهای شناختی برای تعریف و ارزیابی خلاقیت هستند. شصت و نه ورزشکار کاراته (Mage = 24.05، SD = 1.42) به صورت در دسترس برای تکمیل پرسشنامه خلاقیت، نوع مشارکت و سابقه قهرمانی انتخاب شدند. تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها شامل آمار توصیفی و تحلیل واریانس با اندازه گیری های مکرر دو طرفه (ANOVA) با استفاده از نرم افزار SPSS بود. بررسی آزمون تعقیبی با استفاده از مقایسه‌های اصلاح‌شده با بونفرونی زوجی انجام شد. همچنین سطح معنی داری 05/0 P= تعیین شد.
یافته‌ها
نتایج حاصل از پژوهش نشان داد خلاقیت ورزشکاران در سطح رقابتی جهانی با تنوع بخشیدن به ورزش بهبود می یابد. با این حال، مسابقات محلی، خلاقیت ورزشکاران اولیه را که در ورزش خود تخصص داشتند، ارتقا داد. علاوه بر این، آغاز دوران ورزش باعث افزایش بسط و انعطاف‌پذیری، افزایش موفقیت در مقیاس جهانی و تأثیرگذاری بر خلاقیت شد. تنوع بخشی تفاوتی در مولفه های روانی و اصالت ایجاد نمی کند.
نتیجه گیری
نتایج پژوهش نشان می دهد که نوع ورزش انجام شده و سن شروع ورزش می تواند بر خلاقیت ورزشکاران کاراته تأثیر مثبت بگذارد؛ با توجه به یافته‌های پژوهش حاضر به مسئولان و مربیان تیمها توصیه میشود از تمرین اختصاصی و متنوع و در راستای بهبود مولفه های بسط و انعطاف پذیری خلاقیت بهره گیرند.

Objective: To investigate whether the type of early sport participation (early specialization and diversification), age of sport initiation, and level of sports performance can enhance creativity in elite karate athletes.
Method: This cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study was conducted among National Team and the Premier League Karate athletes (69 subjects). The Torrance Creativity Scale and Personal History Questionnaire were used to determine the individual's level of performance and type of physical activity. The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (1977) found that fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration were the most important cognitive processes for defining and assessing creativity. Sixty-nine karate athletes (Mage = 24.05, SD = 1.42) were randomly selected to complete a questionnaire regarding creativity, type of participation, and championship history. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS. Examination of the main post-hoc outcomes was performed using pairwise Bonferroni-corrected comparisons. The significance level was set at P=0.05.
Results: The results showed that athlete creativity at the global competitive level is improved by diversifying the sport. However, local competitions encouraged the creativity of early athletes specializing in their sport. Moreover, the beginning of the sports era brought increased precision and flexibility, increased success on a global scale, and influenced creativity. Diversification makes no difference in language ability or originality.
Conclusions: The results indicate that the type of sport practiced and the age at which the sport begins can positively influence creativity in karate athletes.

Introduction

The nature of early sports participation training (diversification and specialization) significantly minimizes the psychological, social, and physical costs associated with this type of training, especially in the first years of an athlete's sport activity. Therefore, some other researchers believe that athletes tend to gain their first sports experience by participating in various interesting games. Cote coined the term "diversification" to describe this type of sporting activity. This includes a variety of core sporting activities that are intrinsically motivating, provide immediate pleasure, and are specifically designed to maximize enjoyment. Diverse participation in sports allows children to practice sports with minimal equipment, in any space, with any number of players, and with players of different ages and sizes. This type of environment is easy to create and does not require adult supervision, coaches, referees, special equipment or facilities, time limits, or clothing that are characteristic of organized sports and targeted training.

Creativity is the most basic human ability, the most fundamental element of value creation, and plays an important role in all aspects and aspects of life. Creativity and innovation are among the best human qualities and are clearly expressed in sports. An arena where creative athletes demonstrate their skills. Karate is one of the sports disciplines where creativity is essential. Karate is one of the common Olympic martial arts, and creativity is essential. Karate has an old order of progression, giving the impression that it is pointless to attempt or allow creative turns in the wrong phase. Based on previous research results and the practical principles of karate, it appears that the nature of initial participation in karate influences the level of success that karate athletes achieve depending on their creativity. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the type of participation in the sport and the success achieved on the creativity of karate athletes.

 

Materials and Methods: Our study was designed as a cross-sectional, descriptive, analytical study. Data were assessed at the beginning of the study. A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted among the national team and Premier League karate athletes of the Iranian national team (69 subjects). The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and the Personal History Questionnaire were used to determine the age of initiation into sports, the individual's level of success, and the type of sports participation. Confidentiality of participants' information in the study, satisfaction of the participant sample, non-disclosure of information to others, and creating an atmosphere of trust were among the standards and ethical considerations of this study. All cases in this study were reviewed and approved by the University Ethics Committee.

 

Results: The results of the two-way ANOVA on creativity showed a significant main effect for speed (F = 1.35, P = 0.001). The first-order effect of participation type was also significant (F = 7.39, P = 0.001). The interaction effect of participation type and creativity was significant (F = 1.27, P = 0.001). Bonferroni was used for a more detailed analysis of the two-way interaction of Involvement Type × Creativity. At the global level, early diversification had a significant effect on all conditions of creativity (P = 0.001). Pairwise comparisons revealed a significant increase in creativity between global and local competition (P=0.001). These observations suggest that increased creativity in early diversification modes has a strong impact on global-level competition.

Furthermore, the results showed that through the early diversification mode, the study participants produced world-class creativity in terms of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration (all P > 0.4). However, through early specialization modes, participants produced creativity at state success levels of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration (all P > 0.4). The results of the two-way ANOVA of creativity scores in the participation method (Figure 2) showed a significant linear effect for age at the start of the sport (F1=7.39, P=0.001), and the linear effect was significant for the type of participation. did. (F =1.35, P =0.001).

 

Conclusion: Top world-class and national-class athletes, as well as high-achieving young athletes, have all completed extensive training in major sports, and many have recorded impressive performance progress in their early stages. However, athletes whose performance development is especially accelerated in the early years, typically associated with increased practice in core sports, little or no practice in other sports, and early commitment, are the ones who do the best. Alternatively, viewing youth sports participation through a neoclassical economic framework, particularly the concepts of efficiency and sustainability, provides a useful heuristic to better understand the progression to the highest levels of sports performance. Basically, as the amount of training and competition increases, training efficiency becomes paramount. Empirical findings support the hypothesis that longer attention spans facilitate creative performance. Tachibana argues that because of our narrow attention spans, we are not able to absorb and process all stimuli and information that could lead to original and potentially creative solutions in a given situation. He insisted. A long attention span allows you to absorb a variety of seemingly unrelated stimuli. Only a few studies have looked at consciously training attention span in sports. Memmert demonstrated the influence of specific instructions on tactical decision-making in team athletes, finding that participants who focused their attention on a broad range of I discovered that making decisions. These findings highlight the need to optimally design training programs as they may help promote the development of children's creativity. By using appropriate training scenarios, large areas of attention can be specifically trained. For the top karate athletes who competed in the world championships, creativity had a positive impact on their success in the sport compared to the local situation. Importantly, the impact of the type of early sport participation and age of starting sport on the level of sport success was clear. Although our results indicate that training start age is effective in promoting sports creativity in Iranian elite karate athletes, the question of the outcome mechanism remains open and requires future research. further investigation is required.

 

 

Research limitations:

Among the limitations of this research is the lack of control over the stressful conditions of the subjects outside of training, the limitedness of the examined sample and as a result the problem of generalizing it to other athletes in different disciplines, the existing research gap in relation to the study of the research variables, the research sample. Also according to cultural and social factors, this case may be effective in generalizing the results at the national level and other groups. In the present study, variables such as social class, educational status, etc. It is one of the influential factors, which may have influenced the results.
