Comparative Study On Pre-competition Anxiety Of The Athletes Of North Area League Of Men's Basketball For Undergraduates

This research chooses players of 8 northern teams (Chinese People ' s University, Northeastern University, Liaoning University, Northeast Normal University, Tianjin University, Shandong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Heilongjiang University)who compete in the Chinese League of Men's Basketball for Undergraduates. The total athletes is 96.We use THE COMPETITIVE STATE ANXIETY INVENTORY (CSAI─2) authorized by Martens to research the pre-competition of the northern players in the super league matches of Chinese college student. The results are shown as below:⑴The top players generally are the students who're in high exercise grades. They have much more rich experiences of competence, and also have more confidence than the ones who're in the low exercise grades. What's more important? They're slightly less cognitive anxiety and physical anxiety than the latter one.⑵The players with longer training years have distinctly less cognitive anxiety and physical anxiety than the ones with shorter training years, and they also have more confidence. Long scientific and systematic training has remarkable effect on the development of college player's psychology. In addition, the increase of age also improve the capability of player's controlling the competition psychology , especially, when they're about 25 years old, they reach the peak period and the key period of their mental development.⑶The players with high education cultural ,in contrast with the players with low education cultural, are obviously low in cognitive anxiety. The education level impacts the player's cognitive ability. Postgraduate players have lower cognitive anxiety and higher cognitive ability than undergraduate players. Senior players have lower cognitive anxiety than junior players, and higher capacity of alleviating the psychological anxiety.⑷The players with higher rankings have more confidence and lower cognitive anxiety than the ones who has lower rankings. The confidence and the cognitive anxiety level have intimate contact with the players'presentation and the achievement of the teams. The teams always do well in the competition make their players more confidence; Confident players and their teams are more liable to low anxiety, and do their best. These two aspects promote each other.⑸In contrast with the same-aged CBA professional players, the players in the super league matches of Chinese college student are higher in the cognitive anxiety. The college students'cognitive ability was improved by cultural study, but in contrast with professional players, there is still distinct gap in the three aspects of pre-competition anxiety. This indicates that college players have great potential and need further improvement.⑹The factors influence the anxiety of college basketball players are sport level, training years, age, culture degree, competition performance, regional disparities and so on. In order to alleviate the psychological anxiety, we must take the aspects as above into account to improve players'psychological quality.
