DE LA VEGA MARCOS, R.; RUIZ BARQUIN, R.; FUENTEALBA CARO, M.ª A.  and  ORTIN MONTERO, F. J.. Application of a behavioral objective evidence of evaluation of the influence of others in the performance in soccer. CPD [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.2, pp.83-90. ISSN 1989-5879.

An objective test, by using a hand dynamometer is presented in order to analyze the influence of significant people as the coach or the team mates in grip strength performance of young soccer players. Through this objective test was possible to overcome the methodological limitations presented by the traditional self-reported measures. The convergent validity between the dynamometer test results and the values obtained from the "Influence of performance evaluation scale" of the Psychological Characteristics related to Sport Performance factored Questionnaire CPRD-f (Olmedilla, García y Martínez, 2006) was also analyzed. The results showed the usefulness of an objective test as the hand dynamometer to analyze the influential role of significant people on individual performance.
