Conscious self-regulation and overcoming behavior as resources for the success of professional capoeirists

The relevance lies in the study of the features of conscious self-regulation and overcoming behavior of capoei-rists, since the Brazilian non-contact martial art of capoeira is characterized by the complexity and variety of forms of motor activity and multidirectional strategies of behavior. The purpose of the study was to find out the specifics ofthe implementation of self-regulation and coping strategies in capoeirists, in connection with the specifics of this sport. Methods athletes were interviewed using the methods "Style of self- regulation of behavior-SSP-98" by V. I. Moro-sanova and the questionnaire "Strategies for overcoming stressful situations" (SACS) by Stevan E. Hobfoll in the adaptation of N. E. Vodopyanova, E. S. Starchenkova. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all indicators of the study, and a Pearson correlation analysis was performed. The results of the study allowed us to state that high-class capoeirists have a well-formed system of conscious self-regulation and its following components: evaluation of results, flexibility, modeling. Athletes have expressed strategies: the search for social support and avoidance. The correlation analysis showed positive reliable correlations of the general level of self-regulation and the self-regulation parameter of modeling with assertive actions. However, there are also destructive moments: the scale of self-regulation independence positively correlates with the scales of manipulative, aggressive and antisocial actions. The general level of self-regulation is interrelated with asocial actions, which indicates the ambiguity of capoeira as a sports activity, where it is necessary to interact with team members and at the same time use any means to achieve results. Conclusions. The studied parameters of conscious self-regulation and constructive coping strategies can be regarded as psychological resources of success not only in capoeira, but also in other martial arts, in sports in general.
