EFEKTIVITAS PELATIHAN PENGELOLAAN KECEMASAN TERHADAP KECEMASAN BERKOMPETISI PADA ATLET BULU TANGKIS REMAJA

<p><em>Badminton is one of popular sports and has resulted many achievements in Indonesia. The effort of Indonesian Badminton Union (Persatuan Bulutangkis Seluruh Indonesia) to regenerate young talented players is the shuttletime program in which they collaborate with schools to teach badminton. Competition anxiety has become a psychological factor that hinders players’ performance. Amateur athletes are more easily feel anxious compare with professionals’ athletes because of the lack of experiences in competition and emotion management. Anxiety reduction training sometimes is not a priority as happened at UNJ badminton club. The aime of this research is to identify the effectivity of anxiety management training towards competition anxiety among UNJ adolescents’ athletes. Anxiety training that gave to them was relaxation technique and self talk. This research was experimental research which is one group design. The treatment was anxiety training, the anxiety tes was given before and after training. The results revealed t score= 0.201 with sig 0.842 &gt; 0.05, mean the anxiety treatment still could not decreased anxiety. The intensity for practicing anxiety management whereas there were participants did not do the technique that had been taught and the lack encouragement from the coach to the team before competition were some of variables that made the training was not effective for the badminton athletes.</em><em></em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Key</em></strong><strong><em>w</em></strong><strong><em>ords</em></strong><em>: </em><em>a</em><em>nxiety </em><em>m</em><em>anagement</em><em>;</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em>ompetition </em><em>a</em><em>nxiety</em><em>;</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>adminton </em><em>a</em><em>thletes</em><em>;</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>dolescent.</em></p>

COMPARISON OF EFFECTIVENESS OF LARGE SCALE STRESS WORKSHOPS WITH SMALL STRESS/ANXIETY MANAGEMENT TRAINING GROUPS

This study investigates whether large-scale, day-long stress management workshops open to the general public can work as well as small, weekly groups run for referred clients. It is suggested that the self-referral route may enable some people who might otherwise have been ‘‘filtered out’’ from the traditional health services to get help for their stress-related problems. Analysis showed that the large-scale format was just as effective with a more distressed subgroup as was the small weekly format for formally referred clients, which suggests that the effectiveness of this approach is not only related to a restricted client group. It would appear that the low drop-out rate, the effectiveness of the workshops and the severity of problem handled within this format indicates potential value in this type of approach.
