The Relationship between Personality and Physical Activity

Abstract

The present article is a meta-analysis of existing literature regarding the relationship between personality and physical activity. The interest of specialists for the role of the athlete's personality in achieving sports performance is highlighted by various studies and research. However, it was not possible to establish a certain "standard" for the personality of the athletes who achieve great sport performance, but a number of common features were revealed. On the other hand, the second direction of this meta-analytical study regards personality development based on its classical structure, temper, skills and individual character of sport practicing subjects.
