Examining the Effect of Physical Training on Competitive State Anxiety Levels of Players

Abstract

    This study investigated the influence of physical training on competitive state anxiety in athletes. Ninety athletes (19-25 years old) from three public and private universities in Lahore participated (n = 30 per sport category). The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) assessed pre- and post-training anxiety levels. Descriptive statistics (Mean ± SEM) were used to summarize data. Paired-sample t-tests explored the impact of the training program on overall state anxiety, while a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) examined the program's effect on CSAI-2 sub scales cognitive, somatic anxiety, and self-confidence. Results revealed significant reductions in state anxiety for ergometer rowing, middle-distance, and long-distance athletes following the 8-week training intervention. We propose that the structured training program improves state anxiety in these athletes by potentially enhancing their fitness and psychological resilience. This study highlights the potential of physical training programs to optimize athletic performance by mitigating competitive anxiety.
