Identifier	Thesis 1828
Author	Failla, Michelle Y.
Title	Perceptions of Weight Training in Division I Collegiate Male and Female Soccer Players
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2006
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This study was designed to identify relationships between the perceptions of the importance of weight training and sport orientations among NCAA Division I student-athletes on soccer teams. Differences among the perceptions of the importance of weight training were examined based upon their gender, field position (forwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers), and rank (starter or reserve). The Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ; Gill & Deeter, 1988) and the Training Information Survey (TIS: Poiss, Sullivan, Paup, & Westerman, 2004) were administered to the student-athletes on soccer teams (N = 164). The SOQ (Gill & Deeter, 1988) assessed the sport achievement orientations of goal, win or competitiveness and the TIS (Poiss et al, 2004) assessed the student-athletes' perceptions of the importance of weight training in the off-season of soccer competition. No significant differences in sport orientation were found among the participants. Males were slightly more win oriented than females which is consistent with previous research. Both males and females perceived weight training as an important part of their training regime. The study found significant relationships that student-athletes who were goal oriented or competitive perceived weight raining as more important than student-athletes who were win oriented. The study also found that perceptions of the importance of weight training were significantly correlated with the number of weight training days and the duration of the weight raining sessions. It was concluded that elite Division I, collegiate student-athletes on soccer teams perceived weight training as important regardless of gender, field position, rank or sport Perceptions of vii orientation. Many other factors may influence the perceptions of the importance of weight training such as the type of program implemented, availability of facilities, equipment and coaching staff, country of origin, incidence of weight training injury, and education. Examining these factors are suggested for future research. In conclusion, coaches play a critical role as a motivation force with their student-athletes. Coaches must educate the student-athletes on the importance of weight training. Coaches need to make weight training an important part of the off-season training regime of their players. A suggestion for future research is the examination of the coaches' perceptions of the importance of weight training.
