Introduction

“ Emotional tension and anxiety can be detrimental

in a competition causing mental concentration

decreases significantly with an ominous rise in

blood pressure and a muscle paralyzing effect.”


1. OBJECTIVES OF THE
INVESTIGATION
• GENERAL PURPOSE.
o Determine levels of pre-competitive anxiety, post-
competitive and competitive endurance athletes.

• SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOR HIGH


PERFORMANCE ATHLETES
o Determine levels of pre-competitive anxiety
o Record levels of competitive anxiety
o Establish levels of post-competitive anxiety
o Establish levels of trait anxiety
ANXIETY
• It may be in reaction to daily events, having a temporary and limited
effect on the athlete's biopsychosocial functioning.
• Schools of thought in psychology offered their conceptualization of
anxiety:
- Sigmund Freud (1917) was a symptom of anxiety, distress signal from
repressed impulses.
- Wolpe, J. and Skinner, B of the current Neo-Behavioral and
Behavioral respectively.
- For Wolpe, J. (1981) that pattern or autonomic response patterns are a
characteristic part of the agency responses to noxious stimuli.
- Skinner, B. (1979) defines it as "anxiety involves emotional responses
to aversive conditioning.
- In the present investigation is based on the definition of the anxiety of
Spielberger, Ch and Guerrero, R. 1975, State-Trait Anxiety, which in
turn is the basis of State Anxiety Inventory-Trait STAI
2. RESEARCH DESIGN

Research limitations:
• The research was conducted in facilities located in the
stadium FUNDAPROIAZ Luis Aparicio in the city of
Maracaibo and in the sports of Youth National Games XIII
ARAGUA 99 in the city of Maracay Edo. Barquisimeto Edo
Aragua. Lara (Athletics) in the period September to
December 1999.

• The sample was selected from the population of elite


athletes have been focused on the sports facilities in the city
of Maracaibo.
• Sources of invalidation
The design of this research is Not experimental and
Longitudinal panel:

 No experimental ;
problem, separate the effects of multiple variables
involved
convenient, we are closer to the hypothesized variables
as "real " and have greater external validity

 Longitudinal panel ; is that the variable "Anxiety" will be


measured in the same group over time
• Instrumentation
For your application always use the same slogans
(written in the format). Minimal influence of the
applicators, who are limited in cases of questions of
the subjects, repeating the slogan of the test

The data collection instrument used a stable format,


which is the same in all applications.
• Regression analysis

The subjects may reflect high levels of anxiety in


some measurements not the variable of study, but
by factors other than, and would impact on the
overall results of the study.

To avoid this test slogan refers to the variable


(anxiety) only in relation to a specific area
(sports). And avoids responding to the perception
of external events as determined.
3. SUBJECT OF RESEARCH
• Population
 High Performance Athletes:

Face is also characterized by generally major sporting


challenges for both organizations, states, and nations, and

elected.

in the competitive period
• The post-is the least competitive state anxiety generated by the
