The discriminant powers in sports and studying were between 0.51 and 0.87, and the confidence value was 0.98. The baseline data were analyzed by the LISREL instant computer program. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to assist in the preparation of the data in the study. The relationship between factors affecting success in sports competition and studying Muay Thai athletes was analyzed.
The results showed that the structural straightness was checked consistently with the empirical data. The Chi-square value was 8.41. The probability was 0.76 degrees of freedom, 14 (df=14). The harmonious index (GFI) was 0.96. The modified harmonized index (AGFI) was 0.95. And the mean square root index of estimated difference (RMSEA) was 0.02. When prioritizing the levels of factors affecting athletic success from most to least, it was found that the highest was training-related factors followed by environmental mental performance coaching self- management, and motivation.
