The Effect of Anxiety of Catching Coronavirus on Diet and Sleep Quality in Female National Basketball Players of Different Age Groups

Purpose: This study's objective is to look at how the anxiety of catching coronavirus affected the food and sleep habits of female Turkish national basketball players. 
 
 Methods: 54 basketball players from the U16, U18, and U20 age divisions of the Turkish women's national team took part in this research. The Athlete's Anxiety to Catch the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Scale (AACNCS), the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index are all included in the questionnaire. 
 
 Results: The participants' average age was 16.48±1.50, with a range of 14 to 20. It was determined that 51.9% (n=28) of the participants were not compatible with the Mediterranean diet, and 75.9% (n=41) had good sleep quality. Although there was no association between the athletes' overall anxiety level and their diet quality, there was a statistically significant but small positive correlation between the AACNCS sub-dimension of "Socialization Anxiety" and diet quality (r=0.344; p=0.011; p

Analysis and prediction of athlete's anxiety state based on artificial intelligence.

Obtaining athletes' anxiety accurately and regulating their psychological state helps improve their competitive performance. Therefore, this article uses a hierarchical clustering algorithm to identify the sources of stress of track and field athletes. A novel and efficient hierarchical clustering algorithm is proposed in this article. The algorithm consists of two stages: dividing and agglomerating. In the dividing stage, the initial data set is taken as a class and subclasses more than the actual number of clusters are obtained through multiple dividing. In the agglomerating phase, the subclasses divided during the dividing process are merged into the correct class. In addition, we construct an analysis model of athletes' anxiety state based on the radial basis function (RBF) model, where athletes' anxiety is divided into three categories: physical condition anxiety, competition state and cognitive state. The proposed model is trained from the official website of the China Track and Field Association. The athletes' information from 500 samples was arranged to form the sample database of athletes' data. The implicit unit center, function width and connection weight record the characteristics of various sports anxiety states. Then we used the Bayesian and Lagrange models as comparative models for evaluating the psychological state. Precision and efficiency were used for evaluation indexes. The proposed model's results are much better in accuracy and time than those of the Lagrange and Bayesian models. The outcome of the proposed research can provide a reasonable basis for the decision-making of stress relief for track and field athletes.

Analysis of Athletes' Anxiety Levels Before Special Matches in Martial Arts

Anxiety in athletes before the game makes the athlete's performance not optimal and results in the athlete's performance decreases. This study aims to determine the level of anxiety of athletes before special matches in martial arts in sports that can arise in athletes and non-athletes studied through literature reviews. The method in this study uses a literature review with a qualitative approach from 15 research articles on pre-match anxiety in sports. The results of the literature review analysis conducted stated that the athlete's anxiety level increased higher before starting the game. It is concluded that in order for the athlete's performance to be maximized in the match, athletes must have good psychology before the match by paying attention to emotional factors, psychology, and athlete training that has been maximized.

Formulation of Anxiety Concentration Index on Athletes Performances using Application of IoT Device

Competitive anxiety is the greatest challenge for athletes, especially in games involving big competitions. This study aims to formulate athletes' anxiety based on their sports performance. Therefore, this study found three parameters influencing athletes' anxiety: heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension. Hence, the data collection from three phases, namely before, during and after the competition, was recorded. The data were analyzed based on the anxiety index formulation to obtain the athletes' anxiety index rate. By comparing the reading pace of normal persons to the results of this data analysis, the researcher created a set of athlete anxiety indexes. For future research, an anxiety monitoring system prototype based on IoT technology will be created using coding from the athlete's anxiety index to ensure that the coach can notice the athlete's anxiety rate early. With this study, it is believed that future sports athlete performance in the country will be more consistent.

An exploration of pre-performance routines, self-efficacy, anxiety and performance in semi-professional soccer

Whilst much research has suggested a positive link between pre-performance routines (PPRs) and performance, the specific mechanisms of the process have yet to be understood fully. It has been suggested that the PPR may influence performance through lowering the athlete's anxiety, and/or increasing their self-efficacy, but to date this has not specifically been explored in detail. As a result the aim of the current study was to explore the impact of specific individualised PPRs on performance, anxiety and self-efficacy in semi-professional soccer players. Participants were 20 male semi-professional soccer players (M = 19.45, SD = 2.81) recruited from clubs in England. Adopting a repeated measure design, players were tested on performance, anxiety, and self-efficacy pre- and post a 7-day intervention period in which the participants learnt a new PPR. The data were analysed using factorial mixed measures analysis of variance (ANOVAs), with the results revealing a significant difference in somatic anxiety for the experimental group and a decrease in performance for the control group. The study provides further support for the suggestion that the PPR can enhance performance by reducing experiences of anxiety prior to performance.

The Relationship between Salivary Adrenocortical Hormones Changes and Personality in Elite Female Athletes during Handball and Volleyball Competition

Salivary cortisol, androstenedione Δ4, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in 20 elite sportswomen were measured using radioimmunoassay in samples taken 5 min before and after a handball or volleyball competition. Three psychometric tests–-State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Bortner, and Questionnaire de Personnalité pour Sportifs (questionnaire of personality for sports participants)–-were used to evaluate the participants' personalities. Results indicated higher concentrations of cortisol and lower concentrations of Δ4 and DHEA in handball players before and after the competition. Cortisol values increased significantly during the competition in both groups. No changes were observed in androgen levels. The state of anxiety was higher in handball players, characterized by Pattern A behavior, whereas Pattern B behavior defined the volleyball players. The results suggest that adrenocortical changes during handball and volleyball competition are influenced by the different energy systems required by the two activities, individual personality characteristics, and the athlete's anxiety level relative to winning or losing.
