2. AROUSAL
1. Most critical factor prior to and during
performance
2. Body needs to be at optimal level to perform
at best
3. Ideal level of arousal should match
requirements of specific task and individual
4. Arousal regulation is a major concern among
sport psychologists

5. TYPES OF ANXIETY
Trait Anxiety
A general predisposition to perceive
many situation as threatening and to
respond to them with high anxiety
State Anxiety
An individualâs anxiety at a particular
moment (âright nowâ) and ever
changing.
Somatic Anxiety
Physical component reflecting
perception of physiological responses
such as heart rate, respiration, and
muscle tension
Cognitive Anxiety
Thought component (worry, fear,
concentration disruption)
6. PRECOMPETITIVE ANXIETY
1.
COGNITIVE ANXIETY starts high & remains
high as time to event approaches.
2.
SOMATIC ANXIETY remains low until 24 hours
before the event.
3.
Once performance begin, somatic anxiety
dissipates rapidly and cognitive state anxiety
fluctuates throughout the contest.

9. STRESS
The nonspecific response of the body to any
demand made on it in order to maintain
physiological equilibrium. This positive or
negative response results from emotions that
are accompanied by biochemical and
physiological
changes

10. TYPES OF STRESS
EUSTRESS
DISTRESS
âą Use stress in constructive
way
âą High stress, increase
sports performance
âą Can lead to
behavioural, physical
and mental problems.
âą High stress, decrease
sports performance
11. GENERAL ADAPTATION
SYNDROME
Alarm Reaction
Any physical or mental trauma triggers an
immediate set of reaction that the stress.
If the stress is not severe or long lasting,
we bounce back and recover rapidly.
Resistance
Eventually, sometimes rather quickly, we
adapt to stress and we tend to become
more resistant to illness and disease.
Exhaustion
A prolonged resisitance leads to
exhaustion. A short resisitance allow for
the quick recovery.

By using
Electrocardiogram(ECG or
EKG).
It is quick and painless test
that records the electrical
activity of the heart.
It may be taken at rest or
during exercise.

By using observation.
Do observation on athletes behavior before,
during and after event can provide much
information about their stress response.
Clues to watch out for include shaking,
talking fast, irregular toilet visit, bitting the
nails and inability to stay still.

18. AROUSAL & ANXIETY PERFORMANCE THEORIES
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Drive Theory
Inverted-U Hypothesis
Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning
Multidimensional anxiety theory
Catastrophe Model
Reversal Theory
19. 1. DRIVE THEORY
Drive theory states that the more
arousal and anxiety an individual
experiences,
the
higher
their
performance will be.
http://www.psychologycampus.com/sports-psychology/arousal-anxiety.html
21. 2. INVERTED-U HYPOTHESIS
This theory posits that their is a medium
amount of arousal and anxiety that causes
one to perform higher - too little
anxiety/arousal
and
too
much
anxiety/arousal will cause performance to be
poorer.
http://www.psychologycampus.com/sports-psychology/arousal-anxiety.html
23. 3. INDIVIDUAL ZONES OF OPTIMAL
FUNCTIONING
This theory takes into account that people have
different levels of anxiety and arousal that are
unique in making them perform at their best. Some
people perform their best with low anxiety, some
with a medium amount and others with a high
amount. The amount of anxiety/arousal that an
individual requires to perform their best is based on
individual characteristics.
http://www.psychologycampus.com/sports-psychology/arousal-anxiety.html
25. 4. MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANXIETY
THEORY
This theory of anxiety posits that when one has
anxious
thoughts
-
they
will
have
poorer
performance. Anxiety felt by the body will have
an effect on performance much like that of the
inverted U theory. However, there is little support
for this theory.
http://www.psychologycampus.com/sports-psychology/arousal-anxiety.html
27. 5. CATASTROPHE MODEL
The catastrophe model posits that as long as
there are lower thoughts of anxiety, then
performance will be best at a medium level of
physical arousal. If there is a high level of anxious
thoughts (worry), performance will be better at a
medium level of physical arousal but will
suddenly drop off and become very poor. There
is a breaking point when performance
decreases dramatically.
http://www.psychologycampus.com/sports-psychology/arousal-anxiety.html
29. 6. REVERSAL THEORY
This theory posits that the way that arousal affects
performance
depends
on
an
individual's
interpretation of their arousal. Arousal can be
interpreted as pleasant and exciting and as
unpleasant and anxious. Arousal that is thought to
be pleasant helps performance, and vice versa for
bad arousal.

31. Why do some
pressure?
ï
ï
ï
athletes
choke
under
âChokingâ refer to a sudden failure of athletic
performance due to an overwhelming anxiety attack.
Choking is characterized by anxiety symptoms and
the feeling that the harder one tries, the worse oneâs
performance gets.
Most likely to be caused by concern with excessive
self consciousness and concern with mechanics skill
execution.
