The predictions of self-efficiency have their effect on the selection of the right athletic activity, the amount of strain spent by an athlete, its duration, and the level of performance. They predict the level of an athlete's performance, depending on his physical, psychological and skill capabilities.

Thus, the study aims at building and rationing a scale to measure the expectations of self-efficiency for the students the college of physical education.
