摘要：The purpose of this research envisaged the dynamics of the manifestation of the confusion-bewilderment mood states in the professional middle distance and long distance runners,during stress-generating competition situations. Methodology. Assessing the manifestation dynamics of the confusion-bewilderment psychological moods,in 3 different stages over the course of 6 months (February-August 2011),the research focused on the attitudes and the observable and measurable behavior of 12 subjects with various experience in practicing track and field and that particular event. The athletes,under their freely expressed consent,were subjected to three psychological tests,in three different stress situations: before two major competitions (national championships - selection competitions),and at the middle of the period between the two important competitions. The research instrument was the P.O.M.S. test (the Profile of Mood States,described by McNair,1971). Results. The application of the special psychological training program,adapted to the middle distance and long distance running competition characteristics determined,after 6 months of intervention,a statistically significant decrease in the confusion-bewilderment moods. The statistical analysis of the data allowed the observation that at the end of the psychological training program,the results for the C-B variable have significantly dropped between the first test and the third one,which indicates an increase of the regulation,therefore of the control,gained by the subjects before the actual race,of their states characterized by disorientation and confusion in thinking. Conclusions. The results of the research allow the observation that in the practice of professional track and field events,psychological trainings adapted to their specifics can diminish the psycho-affective moods characterized by bewilderment,uncertainty,disorganization,confusion. The condition that imposes itself is that these trainings must be conducted over an optimal period of time (under the coordination,or with the collaboration of a psychologist),and the periodic assessments should be always present,in order to observe the effects of these trainings,the adaptations to the determined reactions,and the changes in attitude in the subjects' behavior.
