Abstract:

The purpose of-this investigation was to determine the effects of cognitive anxiety and physiological arousal on performance on a pre-determined motor task, and the application of the catastrophe model of anxiety and performance to women's field hockey. There were six subjects (three in group 1 and three in group 2). Cognitive and somatic anxiety values were measured before and after a one day competition using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory2. Performance was evaluated before and after the one day competition using the motor task: shooting on goal. The data were analyzed using the ANO

Abstract:

The analysis of competitive state anxiety and its effect on sports performance has been undertaken by many researchers (Karteroliotis & Gill, 1987; Martens, Vealey, Burton, 1990; Jones, Swain & Hardy, 1993). This thesis focused on multidimensional competitive state anxiety and performance within the context of British Horse Society (BHS) one day horse trials. Initially, subjects (n=105) completed the Riders' Perceptions Questionnaire which was devised by the author to assess the nature of the interaction between the rider and horse during performance from the rider's perspective.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis was to explore the effects of state anxiety, trait anxiety, and defensiveness on a psychomotor task that required working memory resources. Results from study 1 confirmed that a random response generation task was sensitive to changes in response rate and used limited working memory resources. ARM MANOV A showed that participant behaviour became less random as response rate increased (A. =.239, F9,1 = 14.491)

Abstract:

Approaches to the study of anxiety in sport have tended to rely on the use of questionnaires to assess levels of competitive anxiety. The development of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens et aI., 1982) has according to Jones (1995) led to considerable research investigating the relationship between anxiety and sport performance. Study 1 reported here utilised the CSAI-2 with an additional directional scale to examine individual differences and competitive state anxiety in sport. Results revealed that there were no significant differences (p<.05) between three achievement levels

The purpose of the present study is to extend past outcome-dependent models of Sport Competition Anxiety (SCA) to include attribution theory as an appraisal process of past performance outcome. It was hypothesized that unstable causal attributions for past unexpected performances would lead to uncertain expectations of future performance and subsequent SCA. Sixty-three male subjects were assessed for initial expectations of how they would perform in a cycling task, i.e., high and low, in which each subject received false feedback about his performance (success or failure).

Gymnastics is deemed a psychologically demanding sport, with associated risk factors of burnout and performance anxiety.

The present study sought to determine whether or not state anxiety levels were significantly reduced when individuals participated in aerobic dance workouts of 15 minutes and 30 minutes. Undergraduate university students and faculty enrolled in an aerobic dance class were volunteers in this study. As hypothesized, subjects in the aerobic dance classes did reduce anxiety acutely following both their 15 minute and 30 minute workout as assessed by the STAI (Y-Form State Anxiety). Thus, results indicate that state anxiety may be reduced through aerobic dance with similar situations and individuals

Résumé : Lors du retour au sport, les sportifs blessés sont exposés à des émotions et cognitions négatives spécifiques. Ce vécu psychologique a donné lieu à l’émergence du concept d’anxiété de re-blessure, dont les conséquences portent également sur la performance et la santé physique du sportif au vu du risque accru de re-blessure qui y est associé. Si certains travaux scientifiques récents ont permis d’améliorer la prédiction de l’anxiété de re-blessure ainsi que d’évaluer l’efficacité d’interventions psychologiques visant à la réduire, de nombreux domaines d’étude restent à approfondir en l

Abstract:

O futebol é um esporte coletivo, em que desempenhos individuais podem definir o resultado de um jogo ou de um campeonato. Especialmente em cobranças de pênalti, o destino da partida encontra-se nos pés do cobrador. A ansiedade no momento das cobranças de pênalti em jogos de futebol de campo é um dos motivos que podem fazer com que um jogador de futebol não converta a cobrança em gol. Neste estudo experimental controlado foi testado um protocolo de biofeedback e psicologia cognitivo-comportamental com o objetivo de reduzir o estado de ansiedade em atletas de futebol amadores de futebol de campo

Abstract:

The problem statement for this study was: "Will there be a significant difference between the mean verbal format and mean visual format CEWAS scores of fifth and sixth grade students'" There would seem a need for this study due to the increasing number of participants in outdoor recreational activities. This increase introduces many environmental concerns which must be addressed in order to maintain present conditions at wilderness areas. Data related to wilderness anxiety among fifth and sixth grade male and female students attending McNeill Elementary School in Bowling Green, Kentucky, were

Abstract:

Nous avions comme objectif de mieux connaitre les stratégies de coping utilisées par des sportifs soumis à des types de stresseurs différents (sport à risques et sport compétitif), d'en mesurer l'impact sur l'ajustement émotionnel ainsi que la performance. Nous avons exploré les relations des variables modératrices entre elles (coping et anxiété-état), mesuré l'impact sportif sur l'anxiété (avant-après épreuve) et évalué l'influence des caractéristiques des sujets (âge, niveau de pratique, catégorie socio-professionnelle) sur les variables dépendantes (ajustement émotionnel, performance). La p

Abstract:

L'objet de ce travail est de réaliser une évaluation des aptitudes physiologiques et psychologiques de joueurs de niveau tennistique différent. De plus, nous avons mis au point un test de terrain permettant d'apprécier le niveau tennistique et nous avons étudié la réponse de paramètres physiologiques des joueurs, pendant la réalisation de ce test. Notre population comprend 35 hommes adultes âgés de 18 à 60 ans pratiquant le tennis. Lors d'une première séance, des mesures anthropométriques ainsi que physiques sont réalisées au laboratoire sur chaque sujet. Lors d'une deuxième séance, les sujets
