Definition of arousal in sport

Answer 1

arousal in sport is your state of readyness before a match or a race if you ever have the feeling of needing a wee before a race thats arousal its a phsycological affect that is neither negative nor positive

Answer 2

This is the stimulating of the senses before or during a sporting event which can have positive or negative effects on your sporting performance ,

This can be analysed by :

Drive theory - This is linear and never reduces performance

Inverted U theory - This states too much arousal reduces performance and it is a steady decrease

Catastrophe theory - This is the same as inverted u theory but rather than steady drop it is a steep drop straight down but later does improve performance again.
