How does arousal affect a sports performance?

Answer 1

speaking as a man. The more aroused you are the more testosterone (sex hormone) you have flowing through you which is also used as sporting juice..gives you that extra kick its a good thing!

And the bonus is after a heavy training session Im so horney and aroused and seekin out my woman!

In fact they say if you have sex/masturbate less than 8hrs before an important event your testosterone is actually a little depleted...so arousalis great for sporting performance.

Answer 2

Well it ofcourse matters here which sport you are playing. But generally speaking, if you are playing it professionally or seriously or if you are passionate about it, you will probably get lost in playing rather than thinking about other things.

Answer 3

Well, i think that the more aroused a person is the better they perform as they are more exited about the sport. However a person can have an extremely high level of arousal meaning that it is hard for them to concentrate as they are to excited and so can't make sensible decisions. However a player can also have an extremely low level of arousal where they are virtually sleeping. Therefore it is important to know the correct amount of arousal you or the people around you need to ensure everyone performs to there best.
