“…Therefore, it is emphasized that anxiety can provide emotions that deregulate the necessary motor action for the particularity of the modality to be presented and thus, directly influence the performance, bringing physiological, psychological and motor changes (Lesinger et al, 2018;Silva, Enumo & Afonso, 2016). Artistic gymnastics in specific is a modality that requires the athlete to refine many valences simultaneously for the competition moment, such as coordination, balance and strength related to the skill in which judges are evaluating (Barreto et al, 2016).…”

“…This occurs frequently in athletes who have little competitive experience and, typically, has lower levels of self-confidence when compared to athletes who have competitive experimental experiences. (Lesinger et al, 2018;Thanopoulos & Platanou, 2016).…”

“…Although some studies emphasize that anxiety can be perceived as a facilitator for the performance of some athletes, based on the conception that these individuals interpret their symptoms positively and tend to have high levels of self-confidence in the competition moment, anxiety remains one of the main obstacles between competition and good performance (Lesinger et al, 2018;M. G. Fernandes, Nunes, Raposo, H. M. Fernandes & Brustad, 2013;Thanopoulos & Platanou, 2016).…”

Anxiety can be assessed from the perspective of three dimensions: somatic anxiety refers to physiological changes, cognitive anxiety associated with the degree of worry or negative thoughts, and self-confidence is related to a belief in facing a challenge. The study aimed to identify pre-competitive state anxiety levels in artistic gymnastics athletes, to compare pre-competitive anxiety levels of these participants between age groups and their competitive experience levels. 115 female artistic gymnastics athletes were analyzed, with a mean age of 13.61 ± 2.12 years. The results demonstrate that in the analysis of the three dimensions, there was a statistically significant difference only in the dimension Self-confidence (p=0.012). In the pairwise comparison, Self-Confidence showed a statistically significant difference in the 16-19 years and 13-15 years groups and also in the 16-19 years and 9-12 years groups. In the variable competitive experience, we can also notice a statistically significant difference in national competitions between groups 9-12 and 16-19. It can be concluded that the athletes participating in the older age group have lower self-confidence levels compared to the other groups. These results indicate that the older the athletes, the greater their concern with their performance, fear of failure and expectation of performance, leading to low levels of self-confidence.

“…Similarly, there are gender differences in the prevalence of anxiety disorders (Asher, Asnaani,&Aderka, 2016), competitive anxiety (PonsetiVerdaguer, Sese, and Garcia-Mas, 2016;Kurimay, Pope-Rhodius,&Kondric, 2017), and physiological process during anxious states (Seo et al, 2017). Lesinger et al (2018) discovered the influence of the training experience of competitive anxiety among junior handball players. However, age does not affect the level of competitive anxiety among adolescents (Lesinger et al, 2018).…”

However, age does not affect the level of competitive anxiety among adolescents (Lesinger et al, 2018). Therefore, age inequality is not a reason for differences in competitive anxiety scores.…”

Competitive anxiety can have a detrimental or positive impact on the athletes' success during the competition. It varies significantly in its strength and depends on gender, ethnicity, role, and training experience. Due to the importance of the hardiness and coping strategies for the maintenance of health and productivity, it was hypothesized that competitive anxiety could be affectedby these traits as well as the anxiety trait. Relationships between competitive anxiety, hardiness, coping strategies, anxiety trait, and anxiety state are investigated within this research. Members of the national female handball team aged 22 to 35 were study participants. In total, 19 responses were included in the analysis. Russian versions of Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Sports Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT), and Personal Values Survey III-R (PVSIII-R) were used. While their hardiness scores were higher than the ones reported for non-athletes, no association between hardiness and competitive anxiety was revealed. Distancing and Escape-Avoidance coping strategies were positively correlated with anxiety traits. The negative association between Self-Controlling and Seeking Social Support was considered to be inherent for a sample on the female national handball team. It was concluded that the strength of competitive anxiety is not associated with coping strategies and hardiness. A connection between the direction of competitive anxiety with coping mechanisms and hardy attitudes can be assumed for further researches.
