Since the mid-20th century, and parallel with the devaluation of the classical Olympic idea, the classical Olympic amateur status has been modified: Olympians have been permitted to earn money legally via their sport performances. They have been legally defined as employees, and they have become to be regarded as "Olympic professionals".The Cypriot elite athletes, who joined the Olympic family in 1980, did not follow international trends regarding this special kind of professionalism. Their start in sport also was to be different from the beginning of most professional Olympic athletes’ sporting careers. The objective of this article is to present information on the particular characteristics of Cypriot Olympians’ socialization into sport based on the findings of an empirical research carried out by the author. The investigation was carried out by quantitative (standardized questionnaire) and qualitative (in-depth interviews) methods among Cypriot Olympians, their coaches, and managers. The quantitative data were summarized by Microsoft Excel 2003 program. Qualitative information was analyzed according to the special criteria.The results deal with the following topics: the athletes’ age at the start and at the specialization, their motivations, their socializing agents, and their parents’ sporting experiences. In the conclusion the impact of the Cypriot sport culture and the ambivalent Cypriot sport politics on the athletes’ early sport socialization is emphasized.

Purpose. Study of the link between psychophysiological state and levels of aggression in elite wrestlers. Methods. 27 elite wrestlers aged between 18 and 30, all members of the Ukraine National Greco-Roman Wrestling Team were examined. The scale of aggression by Buss & Darkee [1957] was used. The following parameters were estimated: subjective comfort / discomfort and balance of process of excitation / inhibition. Results. The athletes were separated into two groups by level of aggression: group 1 with low levels of aggression (15 wrestlers); and group 2 with high levels of aggression (12 wrestlers). The first group is characterized by low significant levels of physical and verbal aggression compared to the second group (p<0,01). The results of subjective psychical state assessment indicate the prevalence of discomfort in athletes in group 2 compared to the first group (p< 0,05). The study of the balance of nervous processes revealed the presence of excitation of the nervous system in group 2 athletes with high levels of aggression. Conclusions. Aggression is a non optimal emotion which influences an increase in subjective psychical discomfort and processes excitation of the nervous system in elite athletes.

The purpose of the study was to analyze index changes of the flow-volume curve during training of elite futsal players. The conducted monitoring of respiration rates shows multidirectional responses of bronchial tubes of the respiratory system, vegetative nervous system, local cell and humoral factors. The orientation of the processes to adaptation and enhancement of the oxygen transport function at submaximal loads is developed in the opposite direction among 15% of the subjects, which can result in limiting the effect of bronchismus, edema and mucus hypersecretion to the oxygen delivered to the alveolus and ultimately, decrease physical working capacity. The dynamic monitoring of the training process when estimating the flow-volume curve indices ensures (especially in youth team players) early detection and correction of exercise-induced bronchospasm, specifying its etymology and making an early diagnosis and pharmacological intervention, that makes training and competitive processes more efficient.

Purpose. The problem of visual perception and information processing is very real for both sport and professional activities. The performance of motor activity mostly occurs where there are time pressures and an increase in nervous emotion and physical tension. Methods. The role of visual perception in information processing and its connection to emotions in elite athletes were studied. 19 elite athletes, Greco-Roman wrestlers, aged 19-22 were examined. The sequence of the study method was: simple visual-movement reaction; reaction to a moving object; speed of perception; scale of emotional excitability. Results. The results obtained indicate significant links between anger and visual perception in elite athletes. It is likely that emotional factors such as anger are a hindrance to athletes’ concentration on the object of the activity. This results in ineffective information processing and leads to a deterioration in visual perception. Conclusions. The study shows that anger is not a motivational factor in sport activity. Anger as an affective emotion, is a negative characteristic and affects the athletes’ general functional state.

Cel. Problem percepcji wzrokowej i przetwarzania informacji jest bardzo aktualny dla sportu i aktywności zawodowej. Do wyczynów związanych z aktywnością ruchową dochodzinajczęściej pod presją czasu i wzrostem nerwowych emocji i napięcia fizycznego. Metody. W badaniu przeprowadzono analizę percepcji wizualnej w warunkach przetwarzania informacji z połączeniem emocji u elity sportowców. Przebadano 19 elitarnych zawodników zapasów w stylu klasycznym w wieku 19-22. Zastosowano metody analityczne obejmujące: prostą reakcję wizualno-ruchową, reakcję na ruchomy obiekt, prędkość percepcji oraz skalę pobudliwości. Wyniki. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na znaczące powiązania między gniewem i percepcją wzrokową u elity sportowców. Prawdopodobnie emocjonalny czynnik gniewu jest przeszkodą w skupieniu uwagi na przedmiocie u sportowców. Prowadzi to do nieefektywnego przetwarzania informacji i do pogorszenia percepcji wzrokowej. Wnioski. Autorzy ustalili, że gniew nie jest czynnikiem mobilizacji aktywności sportowej. Gniew, jako uczucie afektywne, jest negatywną cechą i wpływa na ogólny stan funkcjonowania sportowców.
