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.
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.
The activation-information-mode model suggests?
that performance in a task is influenced by the level of arousal and the dominant mode of information processing. High arousal levels can lead to better performance with a heuristic processing mode, while low arousal levels can lead to better performance with a systematic processing mode.
Is the wetness from arousal sticky?
Yes, arousal can lead to increased vaginal lubrication which may feel wet or slippery. The texture can vary from person to person.
What causes arousal in sport?
Arousal in sport can be caused by a combination of factors such as competition, adrenaline, excitement, desire to win, and the physical and mental demands of the sport. Factors like crowd noise, pressure, and the importance of the event can also contribute to arousal levels in athletes.
How does arousal relate to emotion?
Arousal refers to the level of physiological activation in response to a stimulus, which can influence the intensity of emotions experienced. High arousal can sometimes lead to heightened emotional responses, while lower arousal may result in more subdued emotional reactions. The relationship between arousal and emotion is complex and can vary depending on individual differences and situational contexts.
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)
A trained athlete differs from a couch potato in that an athlete has?
An athlete is much fitter than a couch potato and much more thinner and faster.
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.
What is sexual arousal disorder?
Sexual arousal disorder is a condition where an individual consistently has difficulty becoming sexually aroused or maintaining arousal during sexual activity. This can lead to distress or problems in relationships. It may be caused by physical or psychological factors and can be treated through therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes.
