Abstract

Studied possible psychobiomotor predictors of successful performance among collegiate football players in the offensive backfield positions, using 19 male tryouts (aged 19–24 yrs) for halfback or fullback. Ss were assessed on the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), physiological variables, anaerobic capacity, perceptual-motor skills, and 15 constructs identified by coaches as important to the positions. Four variables emerged as predictors of football-playing ability: conservatism, pass-receiving ability, aggressiveness, and anaerobic capacity. Implications for training programs are discussed.
