Background: considerable research attention has been given to assess the impact of specific intervention strategies on modifying emotions and improving subsequent sport performance. Findings: equivocal; ambiguous, possible reasons, operational definitions of anxiety and performance. Individual differences (intra subject vs. inter group variation) Calculated by measuring the exact distance from the centre of the bullet hole to the centre of the target for each shot and then averaging these error scores. It depends on the sport; what type of detail to get an objective way of assessing performance; looking for a type of group of shots that hover around where the target was shooting. Treatment procedure: preliminary session (minimize stress sensitivity) individual was wired for sound. Intervention (self-regulation program 12 sessions over a 6 week period; breathing and stretching, progressive muscle relaxation, thought stoppage, ecg biofeedback summarized into audiotapes: post intervention (on site during another real competition)
