Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the relative contribution of mental toughness of badminton men's skilled players in explaining thire performance. 24 male badminton players in Tehran and Alborz teams performed two competitions under pressure with players of the same level. The competitions were filmed in presence of a national badminton team coache. Aslo The players completed sport mental toughness questionnaire. In order to evaluate the performance, performance notational analsysis and effective shots, successful shots and unsuccessful or unforced errors indexes were used. Regression analysis showed that mental strength significantly explains 48% of Performance under in skilled badminton players (p<0/001). These results support previous research in the field of mental toughness and alos improv The results also support previous research in the field of mental strength plays a decisive role in the internal validity of the studies improved the internal validity of the literature.
