“…Research has shown that these emotions appear in pre-competitive situations [57], where the concept of pre-competitive anxiety (PCA) arises, which can have both a positive and a negative effect on the athlete and has been consolidated within sports psychology as a topic of great interest [58,59]. Its manifestations are usually on a somatic level through excessive sweating, trembling of the limbs or increased heart rate, but also on a psychological level, through paralyzing fear, mental dispersion, reduced self-esteem and the possible increase in frustration or guilt [60].…”

Research on self-efficacy, cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety provides fundamental information to early identify weak areas in the training of athletes and to implement actions that contribute to the improvement and maintenance of sporting activities. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between anxiety (somatic anxiety, cognitive anxiety and self-efficacy) and basic psychological needs (competence, autonomy and relationship with others). The sample was composed of 165 university students enrolled in courses related to physical activity and sport sciences, with a mean age of 20.33 years (SD = 3.44), studying in a Spanish public university located in Almeria, in the southeast of Spain (Andalusia). The main findings showed the existence of a continuous and effective relationship between self-efficacy and basic psychological needs. While there was no positive and direct relationship between cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety and autonomy, there was a direct and positive relationship between cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety and competence and the relationship with others. Therefore, the results obtained showed that a more positive form of motivation would be autonomous motivation, as it helps to interpret the perception of self-efficacy, favoring performance in competition, whereas controlled motivation has the opposite effect. The importance of this research resides in the fact that it shows that within the sports field, an athlete’s self-perception has an indirect negative effect on pre-competitive somatic anxiety, and the link in this relationship is task orientation and the absence of demotivation towards sport. Despite this, the same effect on cognitive anxiety was not produced.

Usually, we play and love different sports in our daily lives like cricket, football, kabaddi, handball but if we divide all these sports then we can divide them into two parts one is body contact game the other is non-body contact game. Every game creates mental pressure in the players but before the competition, it stays at a very high level, which finally influences the result of the final competition. So, the purpose of the study to find out the pre-competition anxiety between the player of body contact and non-body contact games, for the study subjects were selected randomly from different 1st division club players of West Bengal. Pre-competition anxiety measure by SCAT (Sport Competition Anxiety Test) questionnaire developed by Rainer Marten. A total of 80 club-level players were selected from four games out of four two-body contact games (Kabaddi and Football) and two non-body contact games (Cricket and Table Tennis).

Background The level of anxiety can influence the performance obtained by the group and can also affect the communication and cohesion of the team. Recent studies proved that a high level of anxiety could lead to failure in sports performance and disturbance in group relationships. Aim The study aimed to analyze and reduce the level of anxiety in a basketball team U18 of CSM Medias, following the idea that reducing the personal anxiety level of each player can lead to better group cohesion and performance. Methods The research methods used in our experiment were the SCAT questionnaire and psychological therapy, that analyzed the level of anxiety in sports competition. Results The results of the investigation showed that after discovering the initial level of anxiety (22.42), using the SCAT questionnaire, and by performing several sessions of psychological therapy and group therapy, we managed to reduce the anxiety level at the final examination (20.83). Also, we achieved an improvement in group cohesion and communicational level. Conclusions Anxiety level can affect group performance and team results; our study highlighted the idea that the early discovery of malfunction in group collaboration and also in individual anxiety levels can lead to better team performance and also improve the cohesion and communication level.
