Methods： Male and female （n = 197） college basketball players completed the Psychological Performance Inventory-Alternative （PPI-A）, a measure of characteristics and skills consistent with mental toughness, and the PERK an objective measure of basketball performance. Results： Findings suggest that basketball performance can be partially predicted by mental toughness and starting status. Males reported greater mental toughness than females. Starters and nonstarters did not differ in mental toughness. Moderated hierarchical regression analysis indicated that mental toughness was related to performance for male players as both a main effect and interaction with starter status. For female players, in contrast, starter status was the only significant predictor of performance. Practitioners are encouraged to foster the psychological skills associated with mental toughness in females and non-starters in basketball. Conclusion： Discussion of the PPI-A as a measure of mental toughness and suggestions for its improvement are explored. A need exists for additional research on mental toughness and objective performance, as performance enhancement is a major impetus for research on mental toughness.

As one of the important contents of physical education teaching, basketball in colleges and universities has a direct impact on the quality of physical education teaching, which not only explains the importance of basketball in physical education teaching in colleges and universities. It also shows the popularity of basketball among college students. However, from the current situation of basketball teaching in colleges and universities, there are still some problems, which not only affect the quality of teaching, but also affect the sustainable development of basketball. This paper discusses the influencing factors and development trend of college basketball teaching reform.展开更多
