The relation between impulsivity and physical activity has been scantly investigated. Actually, during physical activity, several goals are achieved on the basis of a certain dose of impulsiveness. This study detects motor and interactive behavior profiles from athletes with traits of impulsiveness, moderate impulsiveness and non-impulsiveness, performing open motor tasks concerning material, space and interaction behaviors. A specific test was administered to assess the impulsivity profiles of athletes; then the Observational System of Motor Skills, Space, Time and Interaction (OSMOSTI), was used to observe and detect movement sequences patterns throughout T-Pattern detection and analysis (TPA). Recent researches have shown that TPA is a suitable approach to study physical activity in different contexts related, for instance, to sport, dance or exergames. Results of TPA revealed that open motor situations enhance motor behavior profiles especially by comparing participants with different impulsiveness. T-Patterns of non-impulsiveness and moderate impulsiveness traits emphasized much more the executive functions of response inhibition, working memory and mental shifting. In this study we pointed out on how impulsiveness, as a candent trait, traditionally considered that leads to a precipitation, unplanned and risky actions could enhance adequate responses to goal achievements if we consider it far to be a disorder on sport and similar subjects. The tool OSMOSTI and TPA used to observe diverse degrees of impulsivity have evidenced objectively the aim of the study.
