Abstract
This study investigated self-regulated learning (SRL) differences between endurance and non-endurance sports youth athletes, who performed at elite or sub-elite levels. A relative performance comparison approach was explored to determine youth athletes’ performance level. The sample comprised 104 participants aged between 12 and 18 years old (M = 14.86; SD = 1.50) and included 47 females and 57 males. The data was gathered in 2019 and 2021 at the Topsport Talentschool of Groningen, a school establishment recruiting top-performing athletes. A MANCOVA was conducted with the six SRL subprocesses as dependent variables, sport type and performance level as independent variables, and age and gender as covariates. The yielded results showed no significant main effect of sport type on reported SRL skills use, and no significant main effect of performance level on the application of SRL processes. No significant interaction effect was found either on youth athletes’ self-regulatory processes. Based on these findings, it was therefore concluded that the youth athletes who participated in this study did not differ in their application of SRL processes, despite engaging in varying sport types and performing at different levels. These results were potentially influenced by the homogeneity of the sample. The gathered findings were further discussed in relation to previous research on endurance performance and sport eliteness. In sum, this study contributed additional insights to the fields of endurance performance and athletic eliteness.
