| description | The purposes of this study were 1) to assess mood and state anxiety in young
Malaysian taekwondo athletes prior to competition and 2) to compare mood and state
anxiety of successful and less successful athletes prior to competition. The subjects were
recruited from the Kelantan taekwondo athletes that participated in the 28th National
Remaja Taekwondo Championship 2008 which was held in Penang. The young taekwondo
athletes (22 males, 12.86 ± 2.44 years and 17 females, 14.29 ± 2.47 years) were divided
into successful and less successful athletes based on the tournament win-loss record. The
Brunei Mood Scale (BRUMS) and Competitive State Anxiety Inventory 2-Revised (CSAI-
2R) were administered on the night before the competition day. Independent t-tests ware
used to compare mood and state anxiety of successful and less successful taekwondo-in
within gender. Pearson correlations were employed to assess the relationship between mood
subscales. The present study found that there were no statistically significant difference
between successful and less successful taekwondo-in in tension (3.00 ± 1.48 vs. 2.93 ±
1.92, p = 0.906, eta2 < 0.001), depression (1.67 ± 2.35 vs. 1.00 ± 1.27, p = 0.256, eta2 =
0.035), vigor (10.33 ± 3.26 vs. 10.33 ± 3.04, p = 0.999, eta2 < 0.001), anger (1.25 ± 2.86
vs. 1.19 ± 1.71, p = 0.930, eta2 < 0.001), fatigue (2.92 ± 3.48 vs. 2.89 ± 2.76, p = 0.979, eta2
< 0.001) and confusion (2.00 ± 2.34 vs. 1.96 ± 2.38, p = 0.964, eta2 < 0.001).), somatic state
anxiety (15.36 ± 3.23 vs. 16.35 ± 3.25, p = 0.384, evl- = 0.021), cognitive state anxiety
(17.50 ± 7.41 vs. 19.48 ± 7.74, p = 0.455, eta2 = 0.015) and self-confidence (32.83 ± 5.36
vs. 32.15 ± 6.97, p = 0.764, eta2 = 0.002). The successful taekwondo-in showed a
statistically significant relationship between pre-competition tension and depression (p =
0.028), tension and fatigue (p = 0.046), as well as tension and confusion (p = 0.014). For less successful taekwondo-in, there was a statistically significant relationship between precompetition
tension and depression (p = 0.003), tension and anger (p < 0.001), tension and
fatigue (p = 0.003), as well as tension and confusion (p < 0.001). The mood profile of
young Kelantan taekwondo-in did not resemble the iceberg profile. Successful young
Kelantan taekwondo-in score higher in depression (1.67 ± 2.35 vs. 1.00 ± 1.27) when
compared to their less successful counterparts (p = 0.256, eta2 = 0.035). There was a
statistically significant difference between the non-depressed and depressed mood
participants in somatic state anxiety (14.60 ± 2.28 vs. 17.28 ± 3.47, p = 0.008, eta2 =
0.174). Fatigue was moderately higher in the depressed mood taekwondo participants (p <
0.001, eta2 = 0.342), while the difference in depression was also moderate (p < 0.001, eta2 =
0.456). In the non-depressed mood taekwondo-in, there was a significant association
between anger and confusion (p = 0.001). The results tend to follow the conceptual model
postulated by Lane and Terry. |
