Tendencies of University Student Athletes to Recognize and to Deal with the Difficult Events—For Rugby Team Members ()
ABSTRACT
Regarding
research targeting on athletes, many quantitative studies such as questionnaire
item surveys have been performed, on the other hand, the qualitative research
using a free description of athletes has been
conducted less than the former. In this study, this Cluster analysis is used to
analyze the data of free description of university student athletes, and to clarify
the characteristics of tendencies of university student athletes to recognize
and to deal with the difficult events. Using Cluster analysis, tendencies for
difficult events between regular and non-regular players were studied. As a
result, compared to non-regular players, regular players were more aware of the
importance of injuries and were more aware of the importance of dealing with
injuries with physical therapies and treatment.
