“…It has been also suggested also that "PU" may act as a cognitive stimuli which increases arousal (40). In the same context, it has been predicted that higher levels of arousal are needed to produce maximum performance on simple strength and endurance tasks (27,30). Additionally, in the study conducted by Brody et al (7), participants perceived that they had higher levels of arousal and attention when they psyched up.…”

Hammoudi-Nassib, S, Chtara, M, Nassib, S, Briki, W, Hammoudi-Riahi, S, Tod, D, and Chamari, K. Time interval moderates the relationship between psyching-up and actual sprint performance. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2014-This study attempted to test whether the strongest effect of psyching-up (PU) strategy on actual sprint performance can be observed when the strategy is used immediately (or almost) before performance compared with when there is a delay between PU and performance. To do so, 16 male sprinters (age, 20.6 6 1.3 years; body mass, 77.5 6 7.1 kg; height, 180.8 6 5.6 cm) were enrolled in a counterbalanced experimental design in which participants were randomly assigned to 10 sessions (2 [Experimental Condition: imagery vs. distraction] 3 5 [Time Intervals: no interval, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes]). Before performing the experimental tasks, participants rated: (a) the Hooper index, (b) their degree of self-confidence, and (c) after the completion of the experimental test; they rated their perceived effort. Findings showed that the imagery significantly improved sprint performance. Specifically, the imagery enhanced performance on the phase of acceleration (0-10 m) and on the overall sprint (0-30 m) when used immediately before performance and at 1-and 2-minute intervals but not for 3-and 5-minute intervals. These findings support the hypothesis that the potential effect of the PU strategy on performance vanishes over time. The preexperimental task Hooper and self-efficacy indexes did not change across the 10 experimental sessions, reinforcing the view that the observed performance changes were directly caused by the experimental manipulation and not through any altered status of the athletes (self-efficacy, fatigue/recovery, and stress). The potential mechanisms underlying such a process and practical applications are discussed.

“…In this context, it is common to experience symptoms such as muscle tension, tachycardia, flushing, trembling and sweating, as well as concerns about self-demand, performance, thirdparty assessment, social comparisons and expectations by coaches, teammates, family and fans. [1][2][3][4] This set of symptoms, called competitive anxiety, 1 can be experienced transiently in the state condition and/or persistently in the trait condition, generally with the latter facilitating the former. Depending on the frequency, the intensity and the way how the athlete interprets and reacts to this emotion, negative implications can be observed, such as energy loss, poor coordination, cardiovascular changes, impairment in attention and concentration, decreased decision-making ability, increased interpersonal conflicts, abandonment of the sports practice, among others.…”

Trends in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Brief Communication ResumoObjetivo: Apresentar o processo de adaptação transcultural da Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) para o contexto brasileiro. Método: Os seguintes estágios foram utilizados: tradução para o português do Brasil por tradutores independentes, elaboração da versão síntese, retrotradução, avaliação de equivalência por especialistas e pré-teste na população-alvo. Resultados: Todos os estágios do processo de adaptação transcultural foram respeitados, e, na maioria das estruturas avaliadas, obteve-se porcentagem de concordância satisfatória entre os especialistas (≥ 80%). Os ajustes sugeridos foram compilados pelas duas autoras na versão de consenso, e o material foi considerado adequado no pré-teste, não havendo necessidade de mais modificações. Nomeada "Escala de Ansiedade Esportiva-2", foi considerada pelo autor principal da escala original como a versão oficial em português do Brasil. Conclusão: Mediante cumprimento de todas as etapas sugeridas para o processo de adaptação transcultural, a SAS-2 está disponível em português brasileiro para ser testada quanto às suas qualidades psicométricas. Descritores: ansiedade competitiva; escalas; adaptação transcultural; esporte. AbstractObjective: To present the process of cross-cultural adaptation of the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) for the Brazilian context. Method: The following stages were used: translation into Brazilian Portuguese by independent translators, elaboration of a synthesis version, back-translation, evaluation by experts and pretest with target population. Results: All the stages of cross-cultural adaptation were completed, and in the majority of items evaluated, good concordance between experts was obtained (≥ 80%). Suggested adjustments were compiled into the consensus version by the two authors, with the resulting material being considered adequate in the pretest (and thus no further changes were needed). Termed as "Escala de Ansiedade Esportiva-2," the final version was considered by the main author of the original scale as an official version in Brazilian Portuguese. Conclusions: In view of the fulfilment of all steps suggested for the cross-cultural adaptation process, the SAS-2 is now available in Brazilian Portuguese to be tested for its psychometric qualities. Keywords:Competitive anxiety, scales, cross-cultural adaptation, sports.

“…16 The construct of anxiety 17 Anxiety is generally defined as an emotional response consisting of cognitive 18 concerns and physiological arousal to perceived threat (Smoll & Smith, 1996). 19 Scholars have distinguished between competitive trait anxiety, a relatively stable 20 personality disposition (Martens, 1977) and competitive state anxiety, the symptoms 21 experienced in a particular sporting situation (Simon & Martens, 1979 influence suffers from lack of congruence in the definition and assessment of 5 parenting practices and lack of systematic assessments of parental influence on 6 children's target variables such as anxiety. One of the goals of this study is to focus 7 on the effect of several dimensions of parenting practices on children's pre-8 competitive anxiety, which has been poorly explored in the literature of parental 9 influence.…”
