“…Those factors tend to link with vulnerable stress response and performance. According to the literature, anxiety and negative emotional experiences are associated with physiological stress response [61,62], but also contribute to worsen performance [19,20]. In line with our hypothesis, trait anxiety tends to be a risk factor for performance.…”

Abstract:The present study aimed to examine multidimensional factors that contribute to a poor performance in a public speaking task. An adapted version of the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) as used to elicit psychosocial stress among 43 university students and multidimensional assessments were involved to investigate acute stress responses by psychological measures (i.e. personality, affect, appraisal, coping), physiological measures (i.e. cortisol; Dehydroepiandrosterone: DHEA; ratio of cortisol/DHEA) and behavioural measures (voice, postural control). Our results showed that psychological factors seemed to be the most sensitive to stress performance. A mediation effect was detected between psychological factors and objective performance. Cortisol to DHEA ratio also showed to be associated with speaking performance. This study added evidence to the literature with regards to a multidimensional way to study human stress response and may help individuals use functional coping to improve their performance and better adapt to stressful situations.

“…Evidence also indicates that a high level of anxiety is associated with poor academic performance [19], musical performance [20], and sport performance [21,22]. Empirical studies suggest that physiological arousal and cognitive anxiety are significant factors leading to a low performance [23].…”

“…The study of anxiety, its antecedents, its relations with other psychological variables, and its consequences has been the target of theoretical and empirical atention within the psychology of sports for a long time [7]. Alterations in the concentration and the reactivated physiological stress are considered as two components of the anxious response, and an atempt has been made to establish a relationship between the cognitive and somatic consequences of these in sports performance [6,7].…”

“…Alterations in the concentration and the reactivated physiological stress are considered as two components of the anxious response, and an atempt has been made to establish a relationship between the cognitive and somatic consequences of these in sports performance [6,7]. Stress is a feeling of physical tension (physiological stress) or emotional stress (neurogenic stress), and anxiety is a feeling of fear, restlessness, and worry.…”

Regular physical training leads to physical capacity and optimal sports performance, and although this relationship is usually linear, the athlete's adaptation is conditioned by multiple factors: environmental, genetic and psychological. Studies have shown that between 70 and 85% of successful and unsuccessful athletes can be identiied using psychological measures of personality and mood, a level higher than chance, but insuicient for the purpose of selecting athletes. The research indicates that the mood of the athletes exhibits a dose-response relationship with their adaptation to the training load; This inding has shown potential to reduce the incidence of overtraining syndrome in athletes who undergo rigorous physical training, through early detection using scales of perception of their mood and physiological measures such as the testosterone / cortisol index. Thus, the genetic and epigenetic modiications of the factors that regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and, therefore, the response to stress, have recently been associated with a detrimental efect on physical performance and early manifestations of the overtraining syndrome and the abandonment of training and competences.

“…However, the extreme anxiety in athletes can be harmful. The levels of stress and anxiety in competitive sports are reported more frequently during sports participation in young athletes (from 13 to 24 years) than in any common activity or daily work (Patel, Omar & Terry, 2010;Weinberg & Gould, 2014). In this context, the objective of the present study was to analyse and associate the anxiety state with the execution of a specific skill of Gymnastics, held in different environments.…”

Abstract:The present study had with goals to analyze the anxiety state and its relationship with the implementation of a specific skill of Gymnastics, held in different environments. The sample of the study consisted of 11 athletes of Gymnastics, female, representatives from the city of Bauru (Brazil). The athletes responded prefacing each evaluation to the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-II) instrument that aims to measure the anxiety state. The results show that on the ground, considered the most secure environment, the gymnasts have demonstrated higher self-trust (27.27 ± 4.95) when compared with the low beam (26.36 ± 5.66) and with the high beam (25.27 ± 4.24) which presented the lowest result for self-trust.
