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.
What causes arousal in sport?
The effect on sport is that your arousal levels different depending on what outcome you are willing to achieve. If your arousal level are high, then you will be more motivated to win and if you win it will increase the meaning of that win. If your arousal levels are low then it means that you are more likely to not perform as you normally can. Arousal is mental and physical. It is psychic energy-the activation of certain parts of the central nervous system that leads to physiological and behavioral changes. You can partially control arousal and thereby improve your functioning as an individual as well as an athlete. Keep in mind that over arousal can negatively affect an athlete's ability to focus, and control muscle tension which can impair performance
Which hormone plays a big part in arousal in the sports athlete?
It depends on what you mean, If you mean "What hormone increases the performance of an athlete" then the answer is testosterone. This hormone is naturally secreted in much bigger quantities in men than in women, but both men and women secret testosterone. When an athlete demonstrates overwhelming joy (from winning/scoring a point/game/match) it is usually the testosterone kicking in, that is why the athlete usually fists the air and/or shouts enthusiastically.
What is Donald Hebb's theory of optimal level of arousal?
Medium arousal is optimal for performance. Too much or too little arousal hampers performance.Optimal Levels: For easy tasks- at the higher end; For harder tasks- at the lower end (since too much arousal causes anxiety)

What is optimum Arousal in sport?
Arousal level applies to the focus and stimulation of a person to or by a task. for example, if somebody was hitting in baseball, a very low arousal level would see the hitter feeling bored, tired or not caring, and would most likely lead to a poor result. somebody with a high arousal level would be very nervous or worries and concentrating too much, and would also be likely to lead to a poor result. for the best result, the hitter must find the medium between being too aroused, and barely or not aroused by the task. for a closed skill, one that has no outside influences eg. weather, environmental conditions etc., arousal level needs to be higher than medium to ensure the best result. for an open skill, arousal level needs to be lower than medium.
