ABSTRACT:
The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was administered to collegiate rodeo athletes (99 male and 16 female) of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) Southern Region, to compare precompetitive mood states with basal, non-competitive responses. Additionally, analyses were made among these psychologic patterns by rodeo event, gender, and educational institution. Although precompetitive mood state patterns were not statistically different (P=.06) from baseline profiles, intercollegiate rodeo athletes exhibited higher than baseline tension and vigor, with concomitant decreases in depression, anger and fatigue prior to competition. No significant differences were observed in precompetition or baseline responsivity across events, gender or institution. In conclusion, collegiate rodeo athletes exhibit shifts in precompetitive mood state pattern that are less pronounced but similar to athletes in more traditional sports.
