“…The finding that both coping effectiveness and emotional intensity varied among individuals suggests that interventions to improve coping effectiveness or emotional control should be carried out taking into account the individual needs of the participant (e.g., Hanin, 2000b). Stress, coping, and emotion diaries represent an assessment tool before an intervention being designed on an individual basis.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine acute sport‐related stressors, coping, and emotion among a sample of professional rugby union players during training and matches. Five professional rugby union players maintained diaries for 31 days. The diaries consisted of a stressor checklist and an open‐ended stressor response section, an open‐ended coping response section, a Likert‐type evaluation of coping effectiveness, a best‐of‐fit emotional response section, and a Likert‐type evaluation of emotional intensity. Six out of the 10 stressors reported had a higher mean frequency in training compared with matches. Blocking was the most frequently cited coping strategy on match days, whereas increased concentration was the most frequently cited coping strategy on training days. Coping effectiveness was significantly higher during training compared with matches. Additionally, higher levels of emotional intensity were significantly associated with lower levels of coping effectiveness. Significant individual differences were found for both coping effectiveness and emotional intensity.

“…This study has contributed to the growing body on HRV and elite athletic performance. In particular, individual zone of optimal functioning model [30] seeks to quantify the emotional status of an individual, and identify his or her optimal zone for peak performance. The frame of HRV study could be integrated in finding optimal zone of individual performance.…”

ORIGINAL ARTICLEPURPOSE: Heart rate variability leads affective changes, which are associated with athletic performance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between heart rate variability, athletic flow, and shooting performance in wheelchair shooting athletes. METHODS:Eight male and female wheelchair shooting athletes were participated in the study. Heart rate variability was measured at rest and during shooting practice and competitions. Flow experience and shooting score were collected only during practice and actual shooting. SPSS Windows 25.0 was used to perform the following analysis. A repeated one-way ANOVA was applied to analyze the differences in heart rate variability at rest, during practice and actual shooting. In order to see the linear and curvilinear relationship among the variables, a hierarchical regression analysis was conducted. RESULTS:The level of average heart rate and the ratio of Low Frequency (LF) to High Frequency (HF) of heart rate variability were significantly at different situations. At the resting period average heart rate was the highest while LF/HF was the lowest, which indicated that LF was less activated than HF at rest as compared to actual shooting. A hierarchical regression analysis showed that flow was a significant linear predictor for shooting performance. CONCLUSIONS:Heart rate variability is changing depending on the circumstance that athletes faced to, which suggests that the changes may be associated with psychological states and performance.

“…This conceptualization builds partially on the Yerkes-Dodson law, interpreting anxiety as a drive state, such that an optimal level of anxiety might be facilitative and motivational. Hanin (2000) actually postulated that an optimal level of anxiety can be measured for individual athletes, this level falling within one half of a standard deviation of the athlete's anxiety test score. Research based on this hypothesis has produced mixed results (Halvari, 1996;Hanin, 2000;McNally, 2002;Thelwell & Maynard, 1998).…”

This article covers stress management for athletes beginning with a brief behavioral conceptualization of athletic performance and analysis of stress. Examples of external and internal stressors are offered, as well as of stress responses from autonomic, somatic, and cognitive domains. Further discussed are specific types of stress management approaches used with athletes, and associated with external vs. internal sources of stress, and with the 3 stress response domains. Although the article focuses on the author's own conceptualization and experiences with sport interventions, relevant research results from the current literature are cited to provide a broader context. 343are from my experience with Olympic and national team athletes. Research findings relevant to stress reduction in sport are briefly described. ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE: A BEHAVIORAL ANALYSISAthletic performance is a complex set of cognitive, emotional, and motoric responses that have been shaped through learning experiences. The most important outcome is reflected in performance under competitive conditions. Performance during practice sessions, no matter how perfect, is considered to be a subgoal. Athletic performance is similar to other performing arts, including theater, dance, music, and public speaking, whereby the primary goal is to display one's skills during the actual play, recital, concert, or public appearance, and the principles of psychomotor learning and performance are relevant to human performance in general (Sport performances are influenced by several component elements: the strength of correct athletic responses, the presence of interfering incorrect responses, and the athlete's level of transfer of responses from the practice environment to the competitive environment (Suinn, 1989). The level of potential skill and the pace of acquisition of such skill are influenced by factors such as the athlete's genetic competencies, past exposure to sports training and performing (which teaches "learning to learn" athletic skills), the quality of coaching, training programs, nutritional planning, and so forth. For any single performance, other variables may restrict the level of actual achievement such as in the negative impact of jet lag, temporary health problems, or recent life stresses.Of major relevance to this article are the three components of correct responses, incorrect responses, and transferability of skills. Correct athletic responses involve those that make up the primary positive aspects of the sport: the motor skill itself, preparatory-arousal responses, cognitive or cueinstructional responses, and attentional-concentration responses. Incorrect athletic responses involve interfering motor habits, inappropriate arousal or conditioned emotionality, and negative cognitions. The transferability of responses from practice settings to competitive settings is a function of the nature of the practice and its similarity to game stimulus conditions. 344Suinn
