Abstract

The present study examines the intricate interplay between personality traits, motor skills, and anthropometric measurements in both athletes and non-athletes. This study aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted relationship between psychological attributes, physical abilities, and body characteristics, shedding light on potential implications for performance in sports and daily life. A diverse sample of athletes and non-athletes was recruited for this cross-sectional study, comprising individuals from various sporting disciplines and sedentary lifestyles. Personality traits were assessed using established psychometric measures, motor skills were evaluated through standardized tests, and anthropometric measurements included height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and body composition. Preliminary analyses revealed intriguing patterns of correlation among these variables. Athletes exhibited distinct personality profiles characterized by higher levels of traits such as conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience. These personality traits were found to be positively associated with superior motor skills, suggesting a potential psychological foundation for athletic prowess. Furthermore, anthropometric measurements unveiled nuanced relationships with both personality traits and motor skills. This study identified specific body composition indicators that correlated with particular personality traits and motor skill proficiency in athletes, highlighting the intricate links between psychological attributes and physical performance. In contrast, non-athletes demonstrated a different pattern of correlations, emphasizing the role of sedentary lifestyles in shaping personality traits, motor skills, and anthropometric measurements. The findings underscore the dynamic interaction between mental and physical aspects of human performance, presenting implications for sports coaching, talent identification, and personalized training programs. This study contributes to the growing body of literature exploring the intricate connections between personality, motor skills, and anthropometric measurements in athletes and non-athletes. The nuanced insights gleaned from this study pave the way for future investigations into the complex interplay of psychological and physiological factors that influence human performance across various domains
