4. Sport Performance
Sport performance is the manner in which sport participation is measured. Sport performance is a complex mixture of
biomechanical function, emotional factors, and training techniques. Performance in an athletic context has a popular connotation
of representing the pursuit of excellence, where an athlete measures his or her performance as a progression toward excellence
or achievement.
Sport performance has four distinct aspects:-
 Neuromuscular factors,
The relationship between the nervous system and its dimensions and the musculoskeletal system.
 Mental control and psychological factors;
 Environmental conditions; and
 Coaching and external support for the athlete.

5. EMOTIONS & SPORTS PERFORMANCE
❖ Emotions has both facilitative and debilitative effect on athletic performance.
❖ In general, when positive emotions like joy, happiness, elation etc., have facilitative effect on performance.
❖ Negative emotions such as anger, fear, anxiety, over-arousal etc., put hurdles in the way of performance.
❖ Research on the issue is full of contradiction and still inconclusive.
❖ However, several studies indicate that optimal emotions can initiate and maintain the required amount of effort for a task
(Hanin, 2000).
❖ For example, an athlete’s anxiety level is optimal before and during competition, his or her chances of performing best are
also optimal.
❖ Optimal emotions keep the athlete energized as a result of which his or her level of motivation level remains high.
❖ High arousal due either to anxiety or aggression in sports like soccer, hockey, basketball etc. may result in an increase of
anaerobic precision as emotional arousal is said to blur to vision and impinge upon concentration.
❖ Several studies indicate that high arousal coupled with some emotions impairs working memory (Parfitt et al, 1990) and
narrowing of attentional focus so that the athlete finds it difficult to perform well (Moran, 1996). It also reduces cognitive
resources available for the task or activity in hand.
❖ All athletes invariably respond emotionally to the performance situation in their own characteristic ways both during and after
the games.
❖ For instance, when a player (in badminton, tennis, basketball or volleyball) scores a point, he feels happy, and puts up a more
confident, energetic and motivated appearance.
