Abstract
Pre-competition training of athletes leads to emergence of some physiological and psychological situations. Athletes may experience psychological disorders, such as stress, worry, anxiety as well as motivation and concentration disorders during in-season training intended for gaining technical skills and condition. Anxiety experienced during competition is one of the emotional states that negatively affect the performance of athletes. Anxiety causes athletes to suffer from muscle tension, difficulty in making decisions, confusion, low efficiency in training, inability to focus, lack of self-confidence, low concentration etc.. During periods close to competition, athletes in sprint branch of athleticism have to apply various strict diets in addition to intensive training programs. In such a period, any decrease in the intensity of training is out of question. This situation negatively affects the physiological and psychological states of athletes. As a result, there may be an increase in some feelings such as anxiety, worry, and fear. In this study, the effect of athletes' anxiety levels on anaerobic capacity was investigated. A statistically significant reduction was observed in the anaerobic capacities of athletes who had high anxiety levels during competition. Therefore, various solutions were made for the overcome and elimination of anxiety that adversely affects sportive performance.
