Background

In view of the problem that the psychological barriers of ski jumpers before competitions affect the athletes’ performance on the competition ground, this paper discusses the therapeutic effect of psychological training on the athletes’ psychological barriers before competitions, so as to find a reasonable and effective intervention method to help athletes avoid psychological barriers.

Subjects and Methods

40 ski jumpers were selected as the research objects. With the help of computer, they were randomly divided into two groups. One group was the psychological training group, and 60 times of psychological training were carried out in the 6-month experiment. The other group was General group without any intervention. At the beginning and end of the experiment, the Trait Anxiety Inventory for Sport (TAIS) was used to compare the pre competition psychological disorders of the two groups of athletes.

Results

The score of the TAIS scale of the two groups after intervention was recorded and compared, as shown in Table 1. As can be seen in Table 1, the average and total TAIS scores of members of the General group are relatively high. Taking dimensional movement tension tendency as an example, the average score of the General group was 12.5. The average score and total score of TAIS in the psychological training group were significantly lower than those in the General group. Taking dimensional movement tension tendency as an example, the average score of the psychological training group was 10.2.Table 1.

Conclusions

Psychological barriers will have a significant impact on the patient’s cognition, emotion, and behavior. In sports competitions, psychological barriers will greatly affect the performance of athletes. In view of this problem, the study took 40 ski jumpers as the research object and discussed the effect of psychological training on the treatment of athletes’ psychological disorders before competitions. The experimental results showed that the TAIS score of the psychological training group decreased significantly after the intervention, which indicated that psychological training could effectively help the athletes to avoid psychological obstacles before the competition, so as to give full play to the athletes’ due level.
