Abstract :

Dropping out of competitive sport at a young age is largely contributed to the limited spectrum of information which we have from the athlete. To evaluate the multiple intelligences of different athletes, in order to observe the level of ability and predispositions that the individual possesses at their peak, and of which we are unaware. We believe that by applying the Howard Gardner intelligence test we can obtain a prospective vision on the cognitive system of the athlete, which can be used in the continuation of the sporting activity. The research carried out observed and evaluated two groups of athletes (judo and fencing) and two groups of nonathletes (in the same age group through the use of the multiple intelligences test. Following the research, we have undertaken practical measures of using the predominant forms of intelligence materialised through an increase in learning spped.
