What is the inverted U theory?
Yerkes and Dodson (1908) At low levels of arousal, performance will be below par, the athlete is not psyched up. As arousal increases so does performance, up to an optimal point. After this point, further increases in arousal lead to declines in performance. Each athlete has their own optimal level of arousal. Optimal arousal is higher for more simple tasks and lower for more complex tasks. Problems with inverted 'U' Theory * Critics question if optimal arousal always occurs at the mid-point of the curve. * One curve does not explain the different optimal levels of arousal needed for simple and complex tasks.

How does preparation affect sport performance?
preparation can effect performance in sport in many ways. first of all a warm is crucial to best performance and it is also used as mental preparation, getting 'syked' for the game or performance. you need preparation to reach optimum arousal. arousal is getting 'your head in the game' but getting to the optimum needs practice as you can be under aroused and over aroused which are both bad. metal rehearsal is when the performer plays over a successful performance in their head, this makes ready for their performance and gets rid of nerves. relaxation- massage, listening to music etc. and also zoning out- just clearing your head of everything and only focusing on your performance, this helps top reach optimum arousal and focus. if you don't prepare for your performance then the performance will be poor and deteriorate.
