Emotion In Sports

Emotion effects the athletic performance

Emotion is a big part of the psychological affect on society. We want to give the reader a framework depicting how the mental training improve their performance. After the testing, the author found (Chris, 2014)There are a number of psychological factors that have the potential to negatively affect an athlete’s ability to perform optimally, for example,anxiety, nerves, poor concentration,and self-doubt (Chris, 2014). And the detrimental thoughts, attitudes also will affect the athlete’s ability. In here i want to talk more about the somatic anxiety. We know anxiety will cause many different physical condition and mental disease. This is very dangerous if we do not use correct methods to treat. One of

the method in the article is very useful is the athletes are taught to focus on what the tension feels like in each muscle group to become more aware of when their bodies are experiencing heightened arousal.(Chris, 2014). This help the athlete identify when they feel anxiety. According to the IZOF model, self-assessed good performance was characterized by cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety, (Merkel, 2013). Cognitive anxiety is also a big problem for the athlete. Bad performance is always related to the high cognitive anxiety.
There has a authority article shows us (Allen, & Jones, 2014). That soccer players showed significantly higher testosterone levels before home games than before away games and neutral training sessions. That means people like to play game in the familiar place. They increase the testosterone levels because of emotional. And the testosterone is good for the exercise performance. Increased testosterone may benefit athletic performance through physical aggression (Allen, & Jones, 2014). But there still have disadvantage play at home court. Research indicates that cortisol, a stress hormone, is higher when performing at home, adding to self-report data that athletes feel increased pressure to succeed in front of their own fans.(Allen, & Jones, 2014). Some of the player do not want to lose the game. They will focus too much on the game. It may cause chocking in the game.
We always talk about the play game with happy emotion. But it is hard to become happy in the exciting game. Some of the research shows that the happy emotion will have more opportunity to win.The results of the statistical analyses indicated that there was a significant relationship between mental happiness and success in athletic activities.(Tabeian, &Zaravar, 2013). From this statistic we know there have a direct proportion between the happiness and success. Also, it was shown that there was no significant difference between mental happiness scores in individual and team sports.(Tabeian, &Zaravar, 2013). From there evidence, we can easily know athlete with high level of happiness will win more than the athlete with low level happiness
Because there have more and more youth participate in elite sport, a large number of stressors may influence their sporting performance. Before we do not know much about the psycho-physiological stress for the soccer players. The article( DosSantos, Kuczynski, Machado, Osiecki& Stefanello,2014) showed athletes have low scores on stress scales and high scores on recovery scales in both training and competition situation. Also, we will know the recovery scale showed the difference between the training situation and the game. After taking the questionnaire and making analysis we also found that the low psychological demand for a week after the team’s winning over the adversaries.
Home court advantages effects the athletic performance
In today’s society, more and more sport fans like to support their home court game.

The home court advantages are the most significant social psychological affect. And we all know the home court may have big advantage in the game. But how can the home court effect the game and players. In fact from the NBA 2004-2005 seasons data(Entine& Small, 2008), we can easily find that the lack of rest for the road team is an important part on the game. Even though it is not a dominant factor, it is a potential factor. From the statistics we can easily know the data about the winning percentage of the home team and road team. From the statistics. The author tell us the traveling team has a schedule which provides fewer days of rests between games, and that just being on the road an extended number of days could lead to a decrease in

athletic
performance.(Entine& Small, 2008). So traveling team truly has less time on resting. Another article indicates that the home advantage increases by as much as 20% with every time zone the away team must cross.(Allen, & Jones, 2014). 20% is very big effect the win. So resting is important for the athlete, especially NBA player. We always see many NBA player injury because of lack rest.
Crowd advantage also a big focus on the game.

Some early studies has show that rule and travel factors will effect the athlete performance. But we do not know much about the crowd factor. Considering how the crow factor will effect the athlete performance, and is or not the crowd is able to raise the performance of the home competitors. a study was executed to determine how the crowd important in the game. After the analysis, the courneya and carron（Alan, &Roger, 1999), found that the magnitude of home advantage within each sport is consistent and has remained relatively stable over time. They also found that the crowd factors have a big effect more than rule factor, but less than travel factors for the athlete compare to precious study. Because traveling to other country may have many environment factors. The home team is much adaptive to the weather conditions. And there have another Research
