Introduction: It has been acknowledged that emotional intelligence and stress are essential parts of sports performance. Emotional intelligence is the ability to process dynamic information accurately and efficiently. Meanwhile, stress is a physiological and psychological response to an environmental demand after individuals perceive that they cannot adequately cope with the current market. Objective: The goal of this research was to recognize the relationship between emotional intelligence and stress among adolescent jump ropes in Pahang based on age differences. Methods: Ninety-five Pahang's jump ropers (N=95);(1.64±.482yrs; 159.82±27.85cm; 55.57±9.305kg) were selected to participate in this study. The study employed a survey design that involved the Assessing Emotions Scale (Schutte et al., 1998) and The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen et al., 1983). Findings: The result showed a significant positive relationship between EI and stress among adolescent jump ropes in Pahang. Besides, The Mann Whitney U test of ages 13 to 15 revealed a higher scored in emotional intelligence as compared to 16-17 years old jump ropes. Again, another Mann-Whitney score for stress results indicated that the 13 to 15 years old group experienced low stress compared to 16 to 17 years old. In conclusion, 13 to 15 years old can control their emotions and cognitive ability in handling and coping with stressful situations. Conclusion: Although their age has increased into adolescence, they are still unable to manage their stress effectively due to several factors such as school performance, relationships, and others.
