Abstract :
    Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body mass index, weekly training, championship history and age with emotional quotient. This study is a descriptive-correlational study Materials and Methods: The statistical population of this study consisted of all non-elite female basketball players in Yazd province with at least 2 years of experience, from which 80 basketball players aged 15 to 36 years were selected by simple random sampling. Pearson correlation formula and simultaneous regression were used to analyze the data. Results : The results showed a significant correlation between age and emotional quotient and its several components (P≤0.01). There was also a significant correlation between weekly sport participation, self-actualization and self-esteem (P≤0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that the emotional quotient score is affected by various factors such as the amount of training participation per week and the age of basketball. Therefore, it can be said that increasing the amount of training per week can increase the emotional quotient of the basketball player, but the body mass index and the history of championship emotional quotient did not affect the subjects of this study. Also, the results showed no significance of body mass index and history of heroism in influencing emotional quotient. Key words: emotional quotient, non-elite basketball player, BMI, age, championship history, weekly sport participation.
