Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the prevailing mood patterns amongst handball players in Jordan. Therefore, this descriptive study was conducted on a sample consisting of (76) male handball players participating in the 2022/2023 Jordanian Handball League championship. The list of mood patterns for athletes was used as a data collection tool along with the following three statistical methods: Arithmetic mean, Standard deviations, and Two-Way ANOVA. The study results showed that the personal flexibility pattern emerged in first place with a high level and an arithmetic average of (2.3728). The cease operations pattern emerged second with a high level and an arithmetic average of (2.2556). The excitement operations pattern emerged third with a high level and an arithmetic average of (2.2257). Results relatively exhibited that there were no statistically significant differences in the level of mood patterns according to the variable of experience and player position amongst handball players. The researchers suggested a number of recommendations including, raising the awareness of handball players on psychological importance; in addition to mood preparation prior to the competitions. It is advised that players take courses and educational workshops that can be offered to athletes to enhance their psychological and physical performance Especially courses in regard to the excitement operations pattern, which obtained the lowest order among the three mood patterns.
