RESEARCH AND EVALUATION OF INDIVIDUAL PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF GAME INTELLIGENCE OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS

“Intellect” computer program for research and evaluation of psychophysiological properties of game intelligence of football players have been theoretically grounded, developed and experimentally tested. Its essence is that the football player was offered cognitive tests on processing information of varying degrees of complexity on a computer. The following psychophysiological properties of football players’ game intelligence have been determined: information perception time (PT), speed of solving one (SST1) and two (SST2) of three alternative tasks, maximum switching speed (MSS) of complex motor actions, intellectual productivity (IP), predictability (IPred) and task performance accuracy (TPA). Scales of evaluations of qualitative and qualitative psychophysiological characteristics of intellectual tasks have been developed. The statistically significant correlations of the psychophysiological properties of intelligence of IP, MSS, IPred and SST2 with expert evaluations of football players’ game activity have been determined. A method of determining the coefficient of psychophysiological properties of game intelligence of football players and its quantitative values has been proposed. The results of the study using the proposed “Intellect” computer method and the criteria for evaluating the psychophysiological properties of the game intelligence of football players will help in solving theoretical and practical issues of training and competitive activities.
