THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN SPORT AND PSYCHOLOGY: A THEORETICAL REVIEW

The interplay between sport and psychology has evolved into a critical area of study, influencing athletic performance, mental health, and overall well-being. This theoretical review synthesizes existing literature on the psychological dimensions of sport, focusing on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral interconnections. Employing a narrative synthesis approach, the review examines key theories such as cognitive appraisal, self-determination, and emotional regulation, highlighting their applications in sport contexts. Results indicate that psychological factors like motivation, anxiety management, and mental toughness significantly enhance athletic outcomes, while negative states such as burnout and stress can impair performance. The discussion explores implications for athletes, coaches, and practitioners, emphasizing the need for integrated psychological training. This review provides a foundational framework for future empirical research in sport psychology, underscoring the symbiotic relationship between physical activity and mental processes.体育与心理学的交互作用已演进为关键研究领域，其研究成果对运动表现、心理健康与整体福祉均产生重要影响。本理论综述对现有体育心理学维度相关文献进行系统整合，重点探讨认知、情感与行为之间的内在关联。本综述采用叙事综合法，对认知评价、自我决定与情绪调节等核心理论展开剖析，并阐释其在体育场景中的应用价值。研究结果显示，动机、焦虑管理与心理韧性等心理因素可显著提升运动表现，而倦怠与压力等负面心理状态则会损害竞技发挥。本综述的讨论部分探讨了该领域对运动员、教练员与从业者的实践启示，并强调整合式心理训练的必要性。本综述为体育心理学领域的后续实证研究提供了基础框架，并着重阐明了身体活动与心理过程之间的共生关联。
