“…The results are consistent with the findings of the previous studies that positive affect during the precompetitive period for highly experienced athletes in contrast to that for less experienced athletes (Cox & Kerr, 1989;Kerr & Van Schaik, 1995). Although men and women climbers experienced more positive feeling just before the competitions, analysis showed that affective states of women and men climbers varied by competition and women's negative affect was higher just before the difficulty competition than men's.…”

The purpose of this study was to measure the precompetitive anxiety and affective states of climbers, particularly with regard to sex and types of competition. 37 men (M=25.9, SD=3.8 yr.) and 10 women (M=25.9, SD=4.2 yr.), climbers who enrolled in Indoor Sport Climbing Competition, voluntarily participated in two different types of competition-speed and difficulty indoor climbing. The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule were administered to all climbers just before the competition. The Sport Competition Anxiety Test was also administered to control competitive trait anxiety. Multivariate analysis of covariance yielded a significant interaction of sex and type of competition for affective state (Hotelling T2=0.21; F2,33=3.43, p<.05). Follow-up univariate analysis indicated that the mean Negative Affect score of women climbers before the difficulty competition was higher than mean Negative Affect scores of men before both speed and difficulty competitions and also the mean for women climbers before the speed competition (F1,34 = 6.15, p <.05). The results partially supported the hypothesis of differences in negative affect by sex and types of competition.

“…Unfortunately, basketball teams are relatively small and not all the members agree to participation, while the involvement of two high and low quality teams -that may increase sample size -would also introduce uncontrollable team-specific factors. Indeed, most investigations examining the psychology of the home field advantage have used relatively low sample sizes, often less than in the current inquiry (Carré et al, 2006;Kerr & Schaik, 1995;Polman et al, 2007), with a record on the lower end testing only five participants (Waters & Lovell, 2002). In spite of the relatively low sample size, the current work involved six experiential measures yielding a more thorough picture and assumedly more reliable results in contrast to single assessments.…”

“…A 27-day diary study of 12 professional rugby league players, who competed in the Super League, found no statistical differences in self-reported mood states leading up to home or away games (Polman, Nicholls, Cohen, & Borkoles, 2007). Another study with 15 rugby players reported that the game venue did not affect players' pre-contest mood, as based on two home and two away games (Kerr & Schaik, 1995). Contradicting these findings, the examination of 100 rugby union players showed that in contrast to away games, home games were associated with lower anxiety and also more positive mood (Terry, Walrond, & Carron, 1998).…”

Justification and aim of the study: Successful athletes tend to approach contest situations with different psychological mind-set than their less successful counterparts. The aim of this repeated-measures design study was to assess whether a successful (national league third rank) and a less successful (11th rank) first division women's basketball team differ in anxiety, positive affect, and negative affect before six consecutive games in the annual championship. Methods: Two psychometrically validated questionnaires, the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT;Martens et al., 1990) and the Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale (PANAS;Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) were used to measure pre-competitive anxiety and positive-and negative affect. The scales were completed by first division female basketball players, who were members of either the successful or the less successful team, before six matches; three played at home and three played away from home. Results: Successful players reported lower anxiety before games (effect size (Cohen's d = 1.2) than less successful players. Both teams displayed more positive affect before the games played at home than before the games played away from home (d = .44). However, ratings of the subjective states varied substantially across the games. Conclusion: The results, interpreted in light of an interactional model (Cerin et al., 2000), show that subjective appraisal of each competition situation yields very specific or unique expectations, which in turn determine the psychological states of the players before the upcoming contest. more successful team demonstrating lower negative affect (p = .12; Fig. 2) and higher overall positive affect (p = .15; Figure 3).

“…De fato, a T tem sido associada a características comportamentais como status, agressividade e dominância social (MAZUR;BOOTH, 1998;MEHTA;JOSEPHS, 2006), fatores que parecem ser importantes para a expressão do desempenho esportivo. Embora alguns estudos tenham mostrado uma elevação na agressividade e no estado de excitação de atletas quando jogaram em casa (KERR;SCHAIK, 1995;MCGUIRE et al, 1992), outros não apresentaram mudanças no comportamento ou humor nessas mesmas condições OLIVIER, 2005;POLMAN et al, 2007). Os resultados díspares apresentados por esses estudos podem ser explicados pelas diferenças nas medidas de agressividade ou humor, pela natureza do esporte praticado e, até mesmo, pelo histórico de treinamento dos atletas.…”

“…No contexto esportivo, alguns resultados tem demonstrado a existência de aumento da agressividade ou estado de excitação em atletas atuando em casa como, por exemplo, no hóquei sobre gelo (MCGUIRE et al, 1992) e rúgbi (KERR;SCHAIK, 1995). Além disto, comportamentos agonísticos parecem estar relacionados com a T endógena (MAZUR;BOOTH, 1998), que, por sua vez, também tem sido associada a comportamentos agressivos em investigações no cenário esportivo (FRY et al, 2011;SALVADOR et al, 2003).…”

e dedicação, disposição e disponibilidade para minha formação acadêmica e como pessoa. Graças a todas as nossas conversas e trocas de e-mails tenho aprendido tanto acerca da teoria e prática do contexto esportivo e das relações interpessoais. Por isso, é com muito orgulho que o chamo de "pai" dentro do ambiente de trabalho. Espero conseguir utilizar bem todo o aprendizado que está sendo passado a mim. Aos meus pais, Dircemar e Ademir, e seus cônjuges, Marcelo e Eliana, respectivamente, que tanto contribuíram, de uma forma ou de outra, para que eu chegasse até aqui da maneira como cheguei. Aos meus irmãos Alex e Anderson, além da Cláudia, pois também entra nesse tópico. Todos os ensinamentos passados a mim desde que eu era tão pequeno tiveram seus efeitos. Todos os estímulos de leitura trouxeram uma importante contribuição para que eu tivesse capacidade de chegar até aqui. Espero que fiquem orgulhosos com meus passos, pois a aprovação de vocês sempre foi muito importante para mim. E que esse orgulho se transforme em paciência para me aguentar cada vez mais. Aos meus sobrinhos Lorenzo e Ângelo, e a Luanna, por me ensinarem que ser adulto pode ter muitas facetas, mas que não podemos parar de pensar como crianças ao longo da vida. Ser um modelo de adulto que consiga trocar informações de forma relevante para a formação de cada um deles é um desafio que me instiga muito. Aos meus caros amigos, minha família escolhida, que me apoiaram tanto, principalmente nesse último ano, compartilhando até suas casas para me acomodar em diversos momentos. Para representar todos eles, obrigado Pedro, Rodrigo e Marcos, amigos desde a graduação e que continuam sendo especiais por tanto no aspecto pessoal e, cada vez mais, também profissional. Ao Gustavo e toda família Haidar, sou muito feliz e grato por ser considerado um adotado e ser tão bem recebido em sua casa, essa forma como fui tratado foi determinante para que eu conseguisse continuar meu caminho até aqui. Aos que são importantes tanto no aspecto pessoal quanto profissional. Obrigado Camila, minha "irmã mais velha" dentro da Escola e uma pessoa tão especial fora dela, pela paciência e dedicação; sua participação dentro de ambos os contextos foram fundamentais para minha formação e desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal. Palavras-chave: Testosterona. Estresse. Ansiedade.
