AROUSALRETICULAR ACTIVATING
SYSTEM• RAS is a system within the
brain which causes arousal• extroverts have lower levels of
intrinsic arousal than introverts• hence extroverts seek
situations of high arousal• introverts seek low arousal
situations
Arousal
AROUSAL• a state of mental and physical
preparedness for action• this is the level of inner drives• which forces the sportsperson
to strive to achieve• it needs to be under control• and at the right level
depending on the task• a faster heart rate• faster breathing rate• sweating• ability to focus (concentrate)• response to danger

AROUSAL AND DRIVE THEORY
WITH INCREASED AROUSAL• the dominant habit / most usual
behaviour will be reproduced• a poorly-learned skill will give a
performance full of mistakes• a well-learned skill will give a
skilled performance
Arousal
DRIVE THEORY
increasedarousal
expert novice
increasedperform ance
w orseperform ance
• the higher the arousal level• the higher the achievement /
performance level• the more likely that a well-
learned skill (a dominant response) will be produced
2A Module 4B.5

INVERTED U THEORY
INVERTED U THEORY THE POSITION OF OPTIMUM AROUSAL DEPENDS ON
type of activity / task complexity
• gross skills (weight lifting) require high arousal
• fine skills (snooker) require low arousal
skill level of the performer• the more skilful the performer • the higher the optimum
arousal could be
personality of the performer• the more extrovert the
performer• the higher the arousal likely
for optimum performance
Arousal
• there is an optimum arousal level• if aroused more than this• performance will decline

AROUSAL CURVES
BEST PERFORMANCE• Sam’s performance has the
highest level
Arousal
PSYCHING UP• Jon’s best performance takes
place at the highest arousal level• he needs to psych himself up the
most to achieve optimum performance
CONTROLLED AROUSAL• Ted’s best performance takes
place between a narrow range of arousal levels
• therefore arousal needs to be carefully controlled
2A Module 4B.7
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
CATASTROPHE THEORY
CATASTROPHE THEORY• here performance increases as
arousal increases• but if arousal gets too high• a complete loss of
performance occurs
Arousal
• example : the golfer who tries too hard and completely misses the fairway from his drive at the 18th hole when in a winning position
• example : the gymnast who completely messes up her previously well-executed routine in a national final
• anxiety affects arousal
2A Module 4B.8

TASK DIFFERENCES
OPTIMUM AROUSAL• can be identified• can be controlled by successful
performers• depends on
– circumstances– personalities
• whether tasks are– simple or complex– fine or gross– strength or endurance– information processing
• whether the performer directs attention – concentrates– narrows attention to the specific
task
Arousal - Tasks
2A Module 4B.9
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
TASK DIFFERENCES
COMPLEX / SKILFULLY DIFFICULT TASKS
• fine, delicate and highly controlled• or information processing tasks• high arousal interferes with task• sometimes very low arousal is
required (calmness)• close control required• narrow band of arousal best
Arousal - Tasks
SIMPLE / GROSS TASKS• easy / large basic movements /
strength or endurance tasks• bigger margin for error• broader optimal arousal zone• tolerate bigger arousal levels
before performance falls

ATTENTIONAttention
ATTENTION AND SELECTIVE ATTENTION• relates to the amount of information we can cope with• since the amount of information we can attend to is limited• we have limited attentional capacity• the performer must therefore attend to only relevant information• and disregard irrelevant information• this is called selective attention
ATTENTIONAL NARROWING AND CONCENTRATION• when some parts of a performance become automatic• the information relevant to those parts does not require attention• this gives the performer spare attentional capacity• which allows the performer to attend to new elements of a skill• such as tactics or anticipating the moves of an opponent
• the coach will need to help the performer to make best use of spare attentional capacity
• the coach will also need to direct the attention of the performer to enable him / her to concentrate and reduce the chance of attentional switching to irrelevant information or distractions
2A Module 4B.11
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
PERCEPTION AND SELECTIVE ATTENTIONSelective Attention
PERCEPTION• perception is stimulus identification• as information is received from the environment, the
performer needs to make sense of it• to interpret it and identify the elements which are
relevant and important• consists of three elements :
– detection– comparison– recognition
SELECTIVE ATTENTION• the process of sorting out relevant bits of information from
the many which are received• attention passes the information to the short-term memory
which gives time for conscious analysis• a good performer can focus totally on an important aspect
of his / her skill• which can exclude other elements which may also be
desirable• sometimes a performer may desire to concentrate on
several different things at once
2A Module 4B.12
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
CONCENTRATIONCONCENTRATION• a state of mind in which attention
is directed towards a specific aim or activity
• attentional focus• control of attention towards a task
CUE UTILISATION• cues can be used by the
sportaperson– to direct attention – to trigger appropriate arousal
responses– to enable attentional focus at a
relevant moment• sometimes, narrowing of
attentional focus by an aroused player– will cause lack of awareness of
broader play issues
USE OF COGNITIVE TECHNIQUES TO ASSIST CONCENTRATION
• imagery• mental rehearsal• relaxation• can be used to direct the
sportsperson’s mind towards a specific task
• these techniques can be thought to manage the stress of the situation
• to manage anxiety in a productive way
Concentration
2A Module 4B.13
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
CONCENTRATION AND ATTENTIONAL STYLES
NIDEFFER’S ATTENTIONAL STYLES
BROAD• a player concentrates on the whole
game – all players’ positions and
movements– open skills
NARROW• the player concentrates on one
aspect of the game– the goalkeeper– closed skills
INTERNAL• the player decides to concentrate on
his own techniqueEXTERNAL• the player focuses on the position of
his opposite number
Concentration

ANXIETYANXIETY• an emotional state• similar to fear• associated with
– physiological (somatic) arousal
– psychological (cognitive) arousal
– feelings of nervousness– feelings of apprehension
Anxiety
TRAIT ANXIETY - A TRAIT• an inbuilt (trait) part of the
personality• a tendency to be fearful of
unfamiliar situations• a tendency to perceive competitive
situations as threatening• a tendency to respond to
competitive situations with apprehension and tension
STATE ANXIETY - A STATE• an emotional response to a
particular situation• characterised by feelings of
nervousness and apprehension
• often temporary

THE EFFECT OF AUDIENCEAROUSAL CAUSED BY AUDIENCE
EVALUATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CORRECT DOMINANT RESPONSE
• audience evaluation causes arousal
• if a skill is poorly learnt (early in the learning curve)
• then arousal causes incorrect response• because incorrect response is
dominant
Arousal and Audience
• if a skill is well-learnt (later in the learning curve)
• then arousal causes correct response• because the correct response is
dominant
• look at inverted U theory for connection between arousal and performance
2A Module 4B.16
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
THE DISTRACTION EFFECTDISTRACTION• is an aspect of concentration
(or lack of concentration)• attentional focus is very
important for the effective sportsperson
• if this is disrupted then he / she is distracted from his / her task
• audience and evaluation apprehension can act as a distraction
• the sportsperson needs therefore to practise in distracting circumstances
• and practise switching attentional focus when faced with potentially distracting circumstances

PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS
EXTERNAL - THE SITUATION• perception of the demands of
the situation• example : I’ve got to run a PB to
win
INTERNAL• perception of the performer’s
ability to cope• example : I got a terribly slow
start last time
COMPETITIVE ORIENTATION• perception of the importance
of the situation• example : there’s a gold medal
hanging on this

EUSTRESS
EUSTRESS• a type of stress with a positive
effect• the performer actively seeks the
thrill of the danger• and enjoys the excitement and
feeling of satisfaction when it is over
• examples :– bungy jumping– free rock climbing– extreme sport skiing– ultra high diving
• ‘I like an unforgiving situation where if you make a mistake you suffer for it’

EFFECT OF STRESS ON PERFORMANCEINHIBITION• inhibition of performance
PERFORMANCE OF SKILLS• stress may act directly on the
information processing of skill
• motor elements of skill are performed less well
• muscles tense• muscular control is reduced
CONCENTRATION• concentration is difficult• span of attention is narrowed
STRESS• awareness of being under
stress itself acts as a stressor

MEASUREMENT OF STRESSQUESTIONNAIRES• Marten’s Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT)• measures emotional and physiological responses
to stress in the competitive situation• Speilberger’s State, Trait Anxiety Inventory
(STAI)• measures emotional and physiological responses
to stress in general and specific situations
BEHAVIOURAL MEASURES• the performance of sports players is observed• a subjective method
PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES• require laboratory testing equipment, objective
methods• examples :
– galvanic skin response– electrocardiogram– electroencephalogram
Stress and Anxiety
2A Module 4B.26

RELAXATION TECHNIQUESIMAGERY RELAXATION• think of a place with associations of warmth and
relaxation• imagine the activity or technique• practise in non-stressful situations• use prior to competition
PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION TRAINING (PRT)• learn to tense then deeply relax separate muscle groups
CENTRING• control of physiological symptoms of stress by focusing
on control of the diaphragm and deep breathing
SELF-DIRECTED RELAXATION TRAINING• focus on each of the major muscle groups in turn• allow breathing to become slow and easy• visualise the tension flowing out of a muscle group• until completely relaxed• eventually combine muscle groups• and achieve total relaxation quickly
Control of Stress
2A Module 4B.27
AQA A Level Physical Education A 6581
NextPrevious
STRESS CONTROL TECHNIQUESBIOFEEDBACK• monitor skin temperature
– cold if stressed– warm if unstressed
• galvanic skin response– electrical conductivity of skin increases when
moist– tense muscle cause sweating
• electromygraphy– electrodes taped to specific muscles – can detect electrical activity– hence tension in muscle
SELF-TALK• talking through the process of a competitive situation• talking positively, building self-confidence
Control of Stress
COGNITIVE STRESS MANAGEMENT• control of emotions and thought processes• linked to attributions• eliminate negative feelings• develop self-confidence
2A Module 4B.28

MENTAL PREPARATION FOR PERFORMANCEMENTAL REHEARSAL• consciously imagine a performance• rerun a past experience• preview hope-for success• helps concentration• helps focus on strengths and weaknesses• positive effect on skill learning• but not as good as actual practice
GOAL SETTING• success is more likely because :• learning is focused• uncertainty is reduced• confidence is increased• practice is planned and structured• evaluation and feedback are
specific

• arouses positive emotions• allows the athlete to
– remain calm under pressure– be assertive when required
• facilitates concentration• enables focus on the important aspects of a task
• enables the setting of challenging but realistic goals
• increases effort
• affects game strategies – a confident player plays to win even if it means
taking risks• affects psychological momentum
– a confident athlete take each point or play at a time– and never gives up– even when defeat is imminent

SELF-CONFIDENCE
OVERCONFIDENCE OR FALSE CONFIDENCE
• is dangerous because it can lead to– inadequate preparation– low motivation– low arousal
• which are difficult to correct when competition is under way
LACK OF CONFIDENCE• causes stress under pressure• causes concentration on outside
stressors– mistakes – spectators
• causes the setting of goals which are either too easy or too hard
• causes the athlete to try to avoid mistakes
• non-confident athletes find it difficult to reverse negative psychological momentum– once things start to go wrong – it is difficult to think positively

VICARIOUS EXPERIENCES• consist of what has been observed
in others• performing a similar skill• example : observing another player
in your team dribbling a soccer ball• if the model is of similar age / ability• and is successful• then this may lead to greater self-
efficacy
Self-Confidence and Self-Efficicacy
PERFORMANCE ACCOMPLISHMENTS• consist of past experiences• example : previously performed skill
at dribbling a soccer ball• if this is successful• then this leads to greater self-
efficacy• at this particular task• in the future

SPECIFIC LH• a person attributes difficulties to
internal / stable factors• applied to one specific sport• ‘I am good at soccer but hopeless at
racquet games’

The SELF-CONCEPT • is the descriptive picture we
have of ourselves
• including :– physical attributes– attitudes– abilities– roles– emotions
• representing how we see ourselves
• which may not reflect reality or the way others see us
SELF-ESTEEM• the extent to which we value
ourselves
• this may or may not match up to the expectations of others
• example :– player may take pride in an
ability to tackle hard– the referee may see this as
unnecessary aggression

DEVELOPING AND ENHANCING MOTIVATIONMOTIVATION IS A COMBINATION OF• personal characteristics• situational aspects
MOTIVATION IS HIGHEST WHEN• the performer is keen to participate• the performer is keen to learn• the performer is keen to perform• the performer is keen to perform
effectively• when the motivational climate is
right• when the training programme is
interesting and varied
MOTIVATION IS REDUCED BY• routine• competition between motives
PEOPLE• have multiple motives• share motives• have unique motivational profiles• need variation in training and
competition• need variation in intensity and
competitiveness• need structured coaching and
teaching environments
MOTIVES CHANGE OVER TIME
TEACHERS AND COACHES ARE IMPORTANT MOTIVATORS

• influenced by– personality factors
• need to achieve• need to avoid failure
– situational factors• probability of success• incentive value of success
NEED TO ACHIEVE (NACH)Tendency to approach success (Ts)• this personality type likes a
challenge• likes feedback• is not afraid of failure• has high task persistence
NEED TO AVOID FAILURE (NAF)Tendency to avoid failure (Taf)• this personality type avoids
challenges• does not take risks• often gives up• does not want feedback
