Background. We started from the premise that communication is one of the principal conditions of any type of activity. Aims. In this study we proposed to research and find the proportion between contents and form in communication, and also to establish a good communication between team players and also between teachers and students in any sport, to increase sport performances. The effect of good communication in one team leads to consolidating performance, this effect being based on the peculiarities of each person, by using special techniques in order to obtain maximal result with a minimal of effort. Methods. We applied the 2008 Penta communication test by Piavano validated by us through specific procedures. Results. The article verifies the results obtained by the Penta communication test based on the following four dimensions: understanding, clarity, kindness and courage. The quadrant mood scale of both feminine and masculine dimensions on two axes (the relation axe and content axe) are presented in Table II, and the differences between the scores of the vertical axe (-) and vertical axe (+) and also the scores obtained for the horizontal axe (-) and horizontal axe (+) are shown in Table III. Conclusions. The Penta communication test was applied in several groups of sportsmen/women: artistic gymnastics, dance, aerobic gymnastics, fitness, rhythmic gymnastics, ice skating and also in a group of subjects who did not practice sport. We established that as the values were more close to +30, we had less to work on one of the vertical components: comprehension and courtesy (the relation aspect) or on the horizontal components: clarity and courage (the contents aspect). Also the negative values on the horizontal axe show us that in those groups there is plenty of accents on communication and less on form. At the same time, as the values are higher and closer to +30, there will be less work on the language form and more on the content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
