THE LINK BETWEEN PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND SELF-EFFICACY: HOW MUCH CAN I JUMP?

Alessandro Cudicio, Valeria Agosti

Abstract


This study evaluated the reliability of self-efficacy in predicting squat jump performance in young adults. Participants completed a questionnaire and performed three jumps while their actual jump height was measured. Results showed no significant differences between predicted and actual performance, but a trend of under- and overestimation was observed. Self-efficacy assessment methods were found to be reliable and repeatable and may be a valuable tool for modifying and adapting training routines.


Keywords
