TEMPERAMENT AND NERVOUS SYSTEM PROPERTIES OF STUDENTS WITH DIFFERENT SPORTS SPECIALIZATIONS

Nervous system traits and temperament types develop in close correlation. This article examines the characteristics of their development in student-athletes of various sports specializations. The primary research
method is an experiment using psychodiagnostic techniques (B.A. Vyatkina and G. Eysenck). The study
revealed that certain temperament types and corresponding nervous system traits may predominate in certain
sports. Sanguine temperaments predominate in football players, melancholic temperaments in swimmers,
choleric temperaments in wrestlers, phlegmatic temperaments in weightlifters, and equal prevalence of sanguine and melancholic temperaments in gymnasts.
