BACKGROUND: Anxiety trait in sport field is wildly studied in sport psychology researches. However, pre-competitive emotions and anxiety traits are main factors that may influence the sportive outcomes. This study aimed to examine the correlation between anxiety and pre-competitive emotions and physical performance among Tunisian students in final practical exam.METHODS: Fifty Tunisian students participated in this study (21 males; 29 females; age 18.34±0.77 years) they were subjected to two questionnaires, the CSTAI-2r and the PANAS-D to assess anxiety traits and precompetitive emotions. The physical performance was obtained from the evaluation of their last practical exam (national exam).RESULTS: The statistical analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between anxiety traits and performance (r=-0.817; P=0.000) and a strongly positive correlation between cognitive and somatic anxiety (r=1.00; P=0.000) However, our results suggest that both of gender and experience level have a significative effects on anxiety and pre-competitive emotions and performance.CONCLUSIONS: The highest performing boys are the oldest and least anxious than the others and who maintain a more positive emotional state before competition than the girls do.

BACKGROUND: In the literature, the relationships between the constitutional biotype endomorphic, mesomorphic and ectomorphic and the hormone concentrations of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and cortisol at rest and after exercise resistance training in active persons and athletes seem not to have been analyzed analytically. The aim is to examine the relationship between the constitutional biotype and the aforementioned hormone concentrations at rest and after exercise against resistance at exhaustion and on speed variations.METHODS: The study lasted approximately one month, with seven meetings in total, two familiarizations and one analysis tip: familiarization 1 (first day), familiarization 2 (second day) Test 1RM, Training 1, Training 2, Training 3, final protocol. Ten active male students aged between 18 and 30 who had a minimum of 3 years’ experience in resistance training were enrolled.RESULTS: Lean-mass-adjusted cortisol is highest in the mesomorph group at time Post30. Lean-mass-adjusted DHT is highest in the endomorph group at basal time and tends to decrease at Post, Post15 and Post30 times becoming lower at these times than in the mesomorph group. Lean-mass-adjusted testosterone is higher in the mesomorph group at all times than in the endomorph group; in both groups there is a linear decrease in testosterone levels at all times.CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the data obtained, we can therefore hypothesize that constitutional biotypes may respond to training, particularly in resistance training, in different forms under the physiological, hormonal and probably under the psychological aspect.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze the effects of different arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) percentages of blood flow restriction (BFR) training combined with squat exercise (SQ) on acute exercise.METHODS: Seventeen male volunteers (24.94±5.64 years) were included in the study. Participants underwent adaptation sessions and a one-repetition maximum (1-RM) test. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: resistance training (RT) only without blood flow restriction (BFR 0%) and two different AOP groups with BFR (80% and 150%) applied to the lower limb; the groups were termed BFR0, BFR80, and BFR150, respectively. SQ was applied as a back semi-squat in all exercise sets. The acute effects of the exercise on strength and endurance performance were evaluated by repetition number, mean and peak power, mean and peak velocity, and rate of perceived exertion (REP).RESULTS: BFR0-150 had the highest scores in terms of repetition number, mean power, mean velocity, and REP among all three groups (P≤0.05). The number of repetitions, mean power, and mean velocity were significantly higher in the BFR80 and BFR150 groups than in the BFR0 group (P<0.05). However, REP was significantly lower in BFR80 compared to the BFR150 and BFR0 groups (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS: Performing back squat all-out exercise with BFR150 resulted in the best acute exercise effects. This suggests that BFR training can provide trainers and athletes with more benefits in performing sports programs in terms of the number of repetitions with the same loads and power outputs as traditional strength training.
