Psychological and Physiological Attributes Associated with Performance of Selected Players of the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour

Abstract

23 players in the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour participated in an assessment which included two psychological inventories and eight physiological measurements. The average score from one year of competitive play was used as the primary criterion of performance. A multiple regression analysis indicated that four variables (percent body fat, locus of control, personality type, and relative strength) predicted 61% of the variation in the average score among participants.
