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.
