| Introduction: It is well documented that self-talk (ST) as a cognitive strategy can enhance motor tasks and sport performance The aim of this study was to investigate The effect of motivational self-talk on the athletics sprint record. Methodology: The population of this study was all speed athletes in Mallard County, from which 144 people were selected as a sample and divided into 4 groups (runners of 100, 400, 100 hurdles and 400 hurdles) 36 people (18 controllers and 18 people). Experiments were divided into each category. First, the runners were tested to record the baseline, then they were trained and practiced self-talk skills for 12 sessions, and the control group did only physical and technical exercises. After 12 sessions, both groups were tested again. To analyze the data, two sections of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics have been used. In the inferential statistics section, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Levene's test were used to examine the homogeneity of variance, and the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test was used to determine the differences between the research groups. It should be noted that all tests were performed at the level of P <0.05. All statistical calculations related to each of the hypotheses were performed using SPSS 22 software. Results: The results showed that motivational self-talk had a significant effect on the records of runners 100, 400, 100 hurdles and 400 meters hurdles. Conclusion: Because the content of educational self-talk skills emphasizes the technical, tactical, and motor aspects of task performance, it increases the players' focus on the technical aspects of the activity. |
