The influence of psychological factors on the results of performances of sportsmen in competitions, on the effectiveness of their work at the trainings doesn´t give rise to doubt. Indeed, the higher the level of mastery of sportsmen is, the more complicated competitions, in which they take a part, are, the more considerable is the contribution of psychological factors to the reached results. For the lowering of emotional tension of different origin in the psychic there become more active and function the mechanisms of psychological protection. Individual psychological protection is a subject mechanism of forming and realization of the condition of sportsman´s readiness to the reaching of success at the emulative actions. The tasks of research, which was carried out by the project № 10-06-38656 a/U and supported by the guarantor of RHSF, included studying of activity of protective behavior in connection with the stability to the psychical overloads and existing adaptative resources, therefore we carried out the comparison with typological behavior of nervous system.
In the research there took a part sportsmen of the combined teams of Russia by tae kwon do VTF (male team - 33 sportsmen, female team - 32 sporstmen) at the age of 18 till 32 years. For the estimation of degree of use the mechanisms of psychological protection we use inventory of Plutchic-Kelermann-Conte and method of studying of typological behavior of nervous system (Ya. Strelyau).
At the base of received results we can make a conclusion, that sportsman with the high showings of the nervous system´s strength at the moments of excitement will more rare resort to protective mechanism by the type «regression» and «substitution». People initially predisposed to the control of their behavior have less expressed substitution (sportsmen with the high showing of the nervous system´s strength by the braking). In addition there exists an ability that these sportsmen could have the protection by the type «projection» as the protective reaction. Sportsmen with the high level of mobility of nervous processes can demonstrate emotional indifference or rejection of unpleasant for them situation.
At the base of received correlative interconnection we can make a conclusion that the higher qualified tae kwon do sportsman´s strength and balance of nervous system the less he is inclined to unconstructive reaction to the difficult situations at the form of primitive psychological protections.
