Level of Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety on Badminton Competition

Abstract

Anxiety, as a negative emotional, affect perceptions in sport competitions, where a large majority of athletes consider anxiety to be debilitative towards performance, which may result in decreases in performance. The main purpose of this study was to examine the levels of anxiety of somatic and cognitive, before competition among badminton athletes. The instrument used for the study comprised of a 27 item Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2. The sample consisted of 41 athletes, with categories of national, state, district and university athletes. The result showed the athletes representing their university exhibited higher cognitive and somatic anxiety levels than those in state and district categories, whereas national athletes showed the lowest level of cognitive and somatic anxiety. Sport psychologists, sport counselors and coaches should use the present findings to recommend coping strategies to university and district level athletes that are appropriate for dealing with their athletes' cognitive and somatic anxiety.
