ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore possible differences in the use of Test of Performance Strategies in training and competition situations based on gender and level of athletes (local and national). The research was carried out using a descriptive method and a 2x2 factorial design on 162 West Java athletes competing in the Papua National Sport Multi-event in 2021, aged between 16-24 years, consisting of 88 male athletes and 74 female athletes from 18 sports branches (98 local athletes, 64 national athletes, 68 individual athletes, and 94 team athletes). All data were collected using the Test of Performance Strategies inventory, consisting of training situation subscales and competition situations. Each subscale was elaborated into eight indicators, and each indicator was compiled by 4 (four) items. The results of the Multivariate Analysis of the Variant found that (1) gender and level of athletes had an effect on the use of Test of Performance Strategies, (2) male athletes used Test of Performance Strategies more frequently and better than female athletes in competitive situations; conversely, female athletes used Test of Performance Strategies more often and better than male athletes in training situations, (3) national athletes used TOPS more often in training situations, and conversely, local athletes used Test of Performance Strategies more often in competition situations. According to the results of this study, psychological skill strategy interventions should be given from the early stages of coaching to youth beginner athletes.
