The importance of strength training was explored alongside task orientation in a study including 90 athletic men and 43 athletic women. According to the article, strength training has been one of the most influential and beneficial aspects in starting tasks in sports. In other words, task orientation was significantly elevated in terms of achieving and maintaining standardized and individualistic performance in sport. Indeed, the study reveals that individuals with high task orientation tend to judge success as a means of giving their best effort, performing to the best of their ability, working together as teammates, and taking pleasure in their sport; according to participants who worked in the strength training program. In similar terms, athletes with high task orientation demonstrated task-oriented goals; in particular, taking on a new skill, as well as improving one's original skill. The results demonstrated that task orientation had a positive and thoughtful association with ego self-enhancement and social acceptance. This correlates with the fact that participants were more engaged in sport due to team collaboration and each other's skills or abilities in sport. More importantly, the study revealed that 11 out of 15 athletes, who performed a task elsewhere, used it as a success due to the improvement demonstrated in the weight training program. For example, Casey, a hockey player, who learned task orientation through weight training, noticed that physical training made a great improvement in his success at other tasks. Similarly, Mandy, a basketball player, noted that her game changes have changed significantly from learning the squat and improving the techniques used for that particular mental climate, achievement goals, and metacognitive activity in education physics and involvement in physical exercise inside and outside the school context.
