Abstract
In the present study, decision making behaviors of elite soccer players at three exercise intensities (rest, 40% maximum and 80% maximum) and three motivational situations (low, moderate and high) were assessed. 14 elite male soccer players with minimum 8 years of playing experience participated in this study (mean age 23/07). Data was analyzed using factorial analysis of variances and repeated measures at significance level of P<0/05. When arousal was medium or high, increasing the exercise intensity was due to decline in accuracy of decision making (P=0/045, P=0/001). But when the arousal was low, there was no difference in accuracy of decision making under three different exercise intensity (P=0/116). Hence, decision making behavior in elite players is affected by interaction of player and environmental constraints during try for reaching specific functional goal.
