Abstract

This study investigated the impulsivity in soccer goalkeepers in different skill levels. For this purpose, Thirty goalkeeper participated in this study in order of different skill levels with a mean age of 9/3 ± 65/28 years. Results showed that Goalkeepers impulsivity differed between different skill levels. It was found significant differences in attentional impulsivity and motor impulsivity and also in type I and type II error factor of continuous performance test items. No statistically significant differences in the recognition of impulsivity deciding factor in impulsivity and continuous performance test items also. It can be argued on the basis of these results that alongside other relevant variables for overcoming in Soccer Goalkeeping function in different skill levels, Impulsivity is one of the main adaptive mechanisms in players that can be considered in talent discussions.
