Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the comparison of meta-cognition beliefs and sport self-regulation between athletes with three different levels of skill. Based on Inclusion and exclusion criteria, one hundred and fifty athletes were selected in three levels of elite,expert and novice. To data collection, the demographic, sport self regulation and meta-cognition questionnaires were used. Results showed that the men with expert level were significantly better than women with expert level in meta-cognition beliefs and sport self-regulation. Also, the men and women athletes with elite level were significantly higher than athletes with expert and beginner level in Meta-cognition beliefs and sport self-regulation. Furthermore, the men and women athletes with expert level were significantly higher than athletes with beginner level in these variables. Based on the present research results, could be recommended the physical activity with expert and elite level to promote the sport self-regulation and meta-cognition beliefs.
