The aim of this study was to examine
examination of pre-competition anxiety levels of muaythai athletes. The investigation grup was composed from
350 muay-thai athletes (320 male and 30 female) joining
to Turkey interuniversity muay-thai championship
in 2018-2019 season. The demographic information
form and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
developed by Spielberger et al.(1970) and adapted to
Turkish language by Oner and La Comte (1983) were
used as data collection tools for measuring stated-trait
anxiety levels of athletes. According to analyze results,
there was no significant difference in pre-competition
state-trait anxiety levels of athletes in terms of age and
weight variables but there was statistically significant difference among pre-competition state-trait anxiety
levels of athletes in terms of sport age variable
(p<0.05). Consequently, it might be said that the statetrait anxiety levels of athletes with higher sports age
were lower and athletes with high sport experience
were more successful in dealing with anxiety.
