Personality is the unique blend of the psychological characteristics and behavioral tendencies that make individuals different from and similar to each other. Interestingly, the popular notion that distinct personality types exists in sport has not been supported by research. Also, no consistent personality differences between ethletic subgroups have been shown to exit. Successful atheletes have a more positive mood profile, more self-confidence and better strategies to focus attention and manage anxiety. Sport psychology has also examined the effects of sport participation on personality development and change. Personality similarity is one potential contributing factor to adherence levels in exercise programs. and this extends beyond other members of the exercise class to the personality traits of the consultant or service provider administering the physical-activity intervention. The role of personality in sports teams and exercise groups has received little empirical attention. Sport performance and physical activity levels can be predicted by personality trails.
