Resumo: | This study investigated the levels of competitive anxiety in 68 adolescent athletes. All participants were evaluated through the Sport Competition Anxiety Test – SCAT and categorized in terms of biologic maturation. Initially, self-evaluations of the biologic maturation were realized by the participants and reported to the researcher. The SCAT was individually applied in state competitions, 30 minutes before de contest. The differences in the levels of competitive anxiety for gender, stage of maturation, sport played, and level of competitive expertise were analyzed through independent t-test. Significant higher levels of anxiety were found for track and field athletes, post-puberty athletes, and expertise athletes. Sgnificant differences were not observed for anxiety in relation to gender. In general, the level of competitive anxiety evidenced by the athletes was moderated. This level is considered by several researchers as ideal for an adequate performance, since the athlete’s attention is focused directly toward the specific task. Individual differences, social characteristics, and personality trends are important factors to be considered in the study of anxiety, because the athlete may perceive the anxiety as positive and facilitator of performance; whereas others athletes may be perceived it as negative and prejudicial to the performance regardless if the level of anxiety is considered low, moderate, or high. |

Todos os participantes foram avaliados utilizando-se o Sport Competition Anxiety Test – SCAT e categorizados em termos de maturação biológica. Inicialmente, foram realizadas auto-avaliações da maturação biológica, as quais foram reportadas ao pesquisador. O SCAT foi aplicado individualmente em eventos estaduais, 30 minutos antes da competição. As diferenças nos níveis de ansiedade competitiva entre gêneros, estágio maturacional, modalidades praticadas e o nível de experiência competitiva foram analisadas utilizando-se testes t-independentes. Níveis de ansiedade significativamente mais elevados foram encontrados para atletas do atletismo, atletas pós-púberes e atletas experientes. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas nos níveis de ansiedade em relação ao gênero. Em geral, o nível de ansiedade competitiva demonstrado por atletas adolescentes foi moderado, o que é considerado por muitos autores como ideal para um desempenho adequado, pois o atleta direciona sua atenção somente para a tarefa específica. Diferenças individuais, fatores sociais e a personalidade são fatores importantes a serem considerados no estudo da ansiedade, pois o atleta pode perceber a ansiedade como sendo positiva e facilitadora ou negativa e prejudicial ao seu desempenho, independentemente de o nível ser classificado como baixo, médio ou alto.Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2008-05-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/3378Journal of Physical Education; Vol 17 No 1 (2006); 65-74Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 17 Núm. 1 (2006); 65-74Journal of Physical Education; v. 17 n. 1 (2006); 65-742448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/3378/2400Bertuol, LisandraValentini, Nadia Cristinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-10T15:37:11Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/3378Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2023-01-10T15:37:11Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false |
