Multi-factorial profiling of athletes integrating personality, psychological skills, and Psychophysiological performance indicators.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sports performance is shaped by the interaction of various factors, including the athlete’s personality, psychological skills and psychophysiological performance. The aim of this study was to develop a multi-factorial profile of athletes, combining personality traits, psychological skills and psychophysiological performance indicators. An additional aim was to investigate the differences between team and individual sports athletes and at different levels of achievements. A total of 304 (female and male) athletes completed standardized assessments of personality traits, psychological skills and psychophysiological performance, including reaction time, stress tolerance, impulsivity, decisiveness and performance consistency. Multivariate analysis revealed significant differences between athletes taking into account the type of sport (individual vs. team), as well as the level of sport (elite, pre-elite, amateur). Cluster analysis identified four distinct athlete multi-factorial profiles. Qualitative validation by an expert panel confirmed that these profiles reflect recognizable athlete types in real training and competition contexts, providing recommendations for the implementation of practical interventions. Integrating personality, psychological skills, and psychophysiological performance indicators provides a comprehensive understanding of how athletes perform under different performance demands. These four multi-factorial profiles offer a practical framework for individual training, psychological preparation, and identification of potential risks.
