The methods applied during the study were as follows: the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire; the Viability Test (adapted by D.A. Leontiev and E.I. Rasskazova); the C. Riff Psychological Well-being Rating Scale (adapted by T.D. Shevelenkova and P.P. Fesenko).
The specific nature of coaching activities was assessed based on the results of the questionnaire survey of 50 martial arts coaches in kickboxing, hand-to-hand combat, MMA, etc. (21 subjects, hereinafter - Group 1) and coaches in individual sports such as swimming, ski sports, tennis, track and field athletics (29 subjects, hereinafter - Group 2).
