      Motivational System and Sports Success among Elite Speed Skating Athletes and 
      Physical Education Students.

AB  - BACKGROUND: While the association between self-efficacy and sports success has 
      been well established in previous studies, little is known regarding whether the 
      basic approach motivation system contributes to this relationship in athletes. 
      The study examines associations between self-reported temperamental approach 
      disposition, self-efficacy, and predispositions to sports success in athletes. 
      METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed between August 3 and 30 November 
      2020. The participants were 156 athletes, aged 16-34 years (M = 21.57, SD = 3.58, 
      41.67% women), in two groups: 54 elite athletes in speed skating (EASS) and 102 
      physical education students (PES). The online survey consisted of the Reinforced 
      Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Sports 
      Success Scale (SSS). RESULTS: There were no differences in self-efficacy and 
      sports success in terms of gender, sports discipline, and level of competitions. 
      The Behavioral Activation System (BAS) results were lower in the EASS sample 
      compared with in the PES group. Self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the 
      relationships between BAS and sports success among athletes, with sport 
      discipline as a moderator between BAS and self-efficacy. Sports success in speed 
      skating relies strongly on BAS, while a weak link has been found in other sports 
      disciplines. CONCLUSIONS: BAS is directly correlated to sports success and 
      indirectly related through self-efficacy. Mental training should be focused on 
      maintaining self-efficacy and reward motivation in athletes to increase their 
      sports success.
