Sport Competition

A ansiedade-traço competitiva (ATC) é uma característica psicológica relativamente estável onde o atleta percebe certos estímulos do meio competitivo como ameaçadores ou não e a eles responde com níveis variados de ansiedade-estado. A forma como o atleta interpreta esses estímulos pode variar de acordo com o tipo de esporte, idade e sexo. O objetivo deste estudo foi o de identificar os níveis de ansiedade-traço competitiva em atletas na faixa etária de 10 a 16 anos, praticantes de atletismo e compará-los em função de variáveis como o sexo e as diferentes faixas etárias. O estudo foi realizado com 81 meninos e 83 meninas divididos em três faixas etárias (até 12 anos; até 14 anos e até 16 anos), com participação em pelo menos, uma competição oficial. O instrumento utilizado foi o Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT). Os resultados mostraram que: as atletas tiveram níveis de ATC significantemente maiores que os meninos, principalmente na faixa etária de 14 a 16 anos; não houve diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre as diferentes faixas etárias dentro do mesmo sexo. Pode-se concluir que, apesar das diferenças estatisticamente significantes, os níveis de ATC podem ser considerados moderados, não diferindo de resultados de estudos realizados por outros autores no Brasil e também em outros países

And Performance

This study examined the effects of a Rational-Emotive education program on the competitive state anxiety levels and performance of female collegiate gymnasts who were identified as anxiety prone. The gymnasts (n=6) were participants on a Division I gymnastic team during the 1988–89 season. The high-anxious gymnasts were distinguished from their teammates via the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens, Burton, Vealey, Bump, & Smith, 1983) and the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (Martens, 1977) and were interviewed by the investigator prior to competition. They ranged from 17 to 22 years of age (M=19.25 yrs). Additionally, this study analyzed the effects of the education program on performance and thought listening (positive vs. negative self-talk). The results revealed that the Rational–Emotive education program significantly decreased levels of cognitive anxiety in five of the six gymnasts. However, the influential effect of the program on somatic anxiety, performance, and thought listening was not significant.

Traditional Sports

There are many types of sport competitions mentioned in the Quran and Hadith in which indicate that Islam has prescribed such competitions such as horse racing, running, camel, archery and wrestling. In Islam, any match prescribed aimed to train and prepare Muslims as part of war preparations. In Southern Thailand, there are many traditional sports competitions organized by the local community, especially the Malay Muslims community. This paper was carried out to identify the concept of competition in the Quran and Sunnah, the form of competition and the kind of traditional sports competitions that are permitted and banned in South Thailand. The method employed in this study is secondary data analysis based on books of tafsir, hadith and fiqh. The study found that traditional types of sports competitions which are permissible include any sport competition that does not bring harm or injury to individuals amongst the participants as well as the animals involved in the competition. Prize contest must be sponsored by a third party or parties who are not involved or engaged in the competition. Keywords: Competition, Traditional Sports, al-Quran, al-Sunnah.   Pertandingan sukan banyak disebut dalam al-Quran dan Hadith yang menunjukkan ia telah disyariatkan oleh Islam antaranya seperti perlumbaan kuda, unta, memanah, larian dan gusti.

Di Selatan Thailand, terdapat pelbagai pertandingan sukan tradisional yang dianjurkan oleh masyarakat setempat khususnya masyarakat Melayu Islam. Kertas ini membincang konsep pertandingan dalam perspektif al- Quran dan al-Sunnah, bentuk hadiah pertandingan dan jenis pertandingan sukan tradisional yang diharuskan dan diharamkan di Selatan Thailand. Pendekatan kajian yang digunakan adalah kajian kepustakaan dengan berpandukan kitab tafsir, hadis dan fiqah. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif berdasarkan tema-tema utama sesuai dengan objektif kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati jenis pertandingan sukan tradisional yang diharuskan adalah sukan yang tidak membawa kemudaratan atau kecederaan dalam kalangan peserta ataupun haiwan yang dipertandingkan. Hadiah pertandingan pula perlu ditaja oleh pihak ketiga atau pihak yang tidak terlibat dalam pertandingan. Kata kunci: Pertandingan, Sukan Tradisional, al-Quran, al-Sunnah.

The Relationship

Horse transportation for temporary relocation during rest periods is a common and widespread practice among horse owners, either from sport competition or working tasks. This study aimed to determine the effect of a relocation period and the multiple factors associated with a rest period on hair cortisol concentrations (HCCs) in horses. Additionally, this study reports the seasonal effect on HCCs and hair growth over a year. Thirteen police horses, Pure Spanish stallions of various ages (5–13 y), were selected to participate in this study. Hair sample collection was carried out approximately every 30 d for seven months (Study 1) and a year (Study 2). Cortisol determinations were performed by enzyme immunoassay. Interestingly, Study 1 revealed that relocated horses (n = 4) exhibited elevated HCCs compared with control horses (n = 4) after the relocation period (p < 0.05). Study 2 (n = 5) showed higher HCCs during summer compared with autumn and winter, and higher hair growth rates in winter compared with the other seasons (p < 0.05). Relocated horses had higher HCCs, suggesting a change in their welfare status, probably related to the sudden change in their surrounding conditions. However, these results should be interpreted cautiously due to the low sample size used. The nature of the relationship between HCCs and horse welfare needs to be further examined.

Post Hoc

The main aim of the research was to distinguish different types of sport competition appraisals and verify if athletes’ interpretation of a stressful situation changed their choice of coping methods. Athletes change their perception during competitions; thus, we assumed that configuration of different ways of interpreting stressful events is more important for coping than one particular appraisal. In total, 193 athletes filled out The Stress Appraisal Questionnaire and The Sport Stress-Coping Strategies Questionnaire to describe their stress appraisals and undertaken coping strategies during a remembered competition that took place within a month before the study. The athletes most often appraised stressful competitions as a challenge. They preferred the coping strategy of being determined to accomplish the established goal. The athletes hardly applied techniques that constituted the basis of mental training. The cluster analysis of the competitors determined three types of sport competition appraisals: positive, negative, and active. An ANOVA with post hoc comparisons showed that participants who revealed positive appraisals undertook the highest number of actions aimed at reaching goals and least frequently sought support. Athletes should be taught not only specific strategies for coping with stress, but also more frequent use of positive judgments of sports competitions.
