This study is on the relationship between performance achievement and arrangement patterns of major competitions of student jumpers (field and track athletes).
The purpose was to illustrate how the difference in their competence of sport performance influences the degrees of performance achievement and peak-appearing.
Findings were as follows:
1) The degrees of performance achievement in the Regional Intercollegiate Championship (hereinafter referred to as the Regional IC) were high enough to be within the sport-form and were not affected by the athletes’ levels of competence of sport performance in any arrangement patterns.
2) The performance achievement degrees of the athletes at Level A and B in the National Intercollegiate Championship (hereinafter referred to as the National IC) were high enough to be within the sport form in any arrangement pattern.
In the arrangement pattern 2, only Level-B athletes showed higher degrees of performance achievement in the National IC than in the Regional IC.
The performance achievement degrees of the athletes of Level C in the National IC were significantly lower than those of Level-A and B athletes in any arrangement pattern.
And they were significantly lower than their degrees in the Regional IC.
3) Peak-occurrence ratios of level-A and -B athletes were generally low in major competitions, that is to say, they did not succeed in attaining their peak performances.
None of Level-C athletes successfully brought out their peak performance in the National IC in any arrangement pattern.
