Abstract

Aim of this study is to specify and compare the continuous anxiety level of athletes dealing with sports branches such as boxing, weight lifting, kickboxing and wrestling. There are a lot of factors negatively affecting athletes' performance. One of them is high anxiety. As long as anxiety levels of athletes increase, they can not put in performance that they wish. In order to determine continuous anxiety status of athletes, continuous anxiety inventory was used by Spielberger and his friends (1970) who developed it. Samples of research was formed with 55 male boxer, 72 male wrestler, 56 male weight lifter, 61 male kickboxer who joined to Turkey Championship in 2012 and were chosen by random sample method. In data analysis, SPSS 15 package software was used and “Kolmogorov-Smirnov” test was used to determine whether datas had normal distribution, ''Anova-Homogenety of variance” test was used to determine homogeneity and it was determined that datas had homogeneous and normal distribution. In analysis of datas, descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance for determining difference between variables which was more than 2 and tukey test for determining relationship between variables were carried out. At the end of the study, it was specified that anxiety level of wrestlers are less than other athletes. In terms of branches, as a result of continuous anxiety scores comparing, wrestle and kickboxing, a significant difference was found between wrestling and weight lifting, wrestling and boxing statistically significant (p<0,05).
