Document Summary
Case study: self regulation training, state anxiety, and sport performance: a psychophysiological case study (prapavessis) Lots of research attention has been given to look at the impact of speci c intervention strategies on modifying emotions and improving subsequent sport performance. Gives an in-depth analysis of how variables of interest affect each other. Equivocal= sometimes we nd success and sometimes we don"t. Individual differences (intra subject vs. inter group variation) Rated controlling state-anxiety (cognitive and somatic) as his worst mental skill. Somatic anxiety created itself through accelerated heart rate and excessive muscle tension. Biochemical response (urine concentrations) > gives an idea of stress. Behaviour response (accelerometer) > would pick up movement on ri e tip. Calculated by measuring the exact distance from where the man shot and where the target sport was (for each shot and then averaged the error scores) Breathing, stretching, muscle relaxation, thought stoppage, ecg feedback > summarized in audiotapes.
