N2 - Introduction: The preferred motivational state (telic or paratelic), i.e., dominance, has been
linked to the type of activity sports people participate in. As such, positive or negative performance
may occur if there is a mismatch between the activity and the required state. This study
set out to examine the effects of altering telic or paratelic motivational states and thus induce
the “misfit effect” in order to quantify the influences on emotions and performance during allout,
short duration cycle performance.
Methods: Based on paratelic dominance scale (PDS) scores participants completed the Wingate
anaerobic test (WAT) on two separate occasions in their preferred and non-preferred motivational
state. Special video display method was used to manipulate participants to their non-preferred
motivational state and verified via the telic state measure (TSM) test prior to performing
the Wingate test (WT). Changes in emotion and stress levels were recorded using the tension
and effort stress inventory (TESI) along with heart rate variability (HRV) data obtained from
electrocardiogram (ECG). Peak power (PP), mean power (MP) and fatigue index (FI) obtained
from the WT were used to assess all-out athletic performance.
Results: The main findings show that there was no link between dominant motivational state
and anaerobic cycle performance (p>0.05) and that successful manipulation of motivational
state (p<0.05) did not influence perceived levels or physiological levels of stress (p>0.05) and
did not affect all-out, short duration cycle performance (p<0.05).
Conclusion: As such, coaches, support staff and athletes do not have to worry about a particular
state in regards to telic or paratelic in an acute time frame, as long as the athlete’s arousal levels
and emotional conditions are optimal.
