Research Of The Pregame Anxiety Analysis And Adjustment For High-level Swimming Athletes In Shandong Colleges And Universities

To a certain degree, the high level athletics is the contest of psychological potentials. "Player's athletic level, just like the constant in a correctly designed experiment, does not take much effect. The decisive element is not the skill, but the ability which is manifested in a tense state." Much research has proved that the psychological factors do not have an apparent influence on the performances of the middle and low level athlets, while for the excellent athlets, psychology's affection is quite obvious.There are various psychological factors that determin the result of a competition. From his rich swimming training experience, the author of this paper intends to prove that among all psychological factors, nervousness and anxiety before the competition have more influences on the result. Anxiety is the most common psychological factor for the athlets in competition and usually it has a decisive effect on the outcome. In retrospect, the researches on anxiety mainly focused on its influence on the competition, without further discussion about in what aspects it worked and the degree of its influence. The present research on anxiety is not complete. There is few or even no relevant investigation about the connection between anxiety's effects and athlets' level.According to this, the research takes Athletics Cognitive Idiosyncrasy Measurement as its tool, designing a questionnaire for some high level swimming players in Tianjin's high school in random. By investigating and analyzing the quesitonnair, the author tries to find out the specific elements that affect swimming players' anxiety and the reasons that make different athlets anxious. The aim of the investigation and analysis is to find out solutions to adjust different athlets' anxiety in training and before the game, which will bring benefit to skill developement and competition level of swimming.
