PREDICTORS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ATHLETES IN STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

Armando M. Santiago

Abstract


This research examined the performance of athletes both in regional and national competitions using the descriptive correlation design method. A total of 155 participants, which include student-athletes and trainers, participated in the study. The participants include 100 athletes and 55 trainers from the seven states universities and colleges in the National Capital Region (NCR). Frequency, mean, and standard deviation were calculated using descriptive statistics while multiple regression coefficients were computed using inferential statistics. Based on the results, most of the athletes are within a height index of 5ft. to 5.92ft, a weight range of 51kg to 60 kg, belonged to the 15-10 years of age bracket, males, and academically ranked as ‘Superior’. Most of the athletes had attended a series of group training and most were engaged in 4 or more training a month. In addition, the majority of the trainers were females, with less than 1 year of training experience, attended 3-5 seminars, and have an average emotional quotient. The administrative support was perceived to be ‘very adequate’ by athletes in terms of sport budget as congruent to the trainers’ perception. Furthermore, both the athletes and trainers perceived sport facilities as ‘very adequate’. The perception of athletes about sport incentives was ‘very adequate’ as same with the trainers. Results show that the predictors of athletes’ regional performance are trainers’ length of teaching experiences, frequency of training, and body built. On the other hand, the predictors of athletes’ national performance are frequency of training, age, incentive, and administrative support. For the athletes’ and trainers’ overall total performance, the predators include the athletes’ frequency of training, athletes’ body built, and trainers’ number of seminars. These findings suggest that the profile of the athletes and trainers predicts the performance of athletes in states colleges and universities in higher athletic competitions as well as the administrative support given to them.
