Inverted-U theory by

Inverted-U theory by https://padlet.com/1064641/invertedUtheory The inverted U hypothesis differs from the drive theory. The inverted U hypothesis states that at optimal arousal levels, performance levels will be at their highest, but when arousal is either too low or too high, performance levels will be lower. It argues that at lower levels of arousal, performance will not be as high as it should be because the athlete is neither physiologically nor psychologically ready (e.g. heart rate and concentration levels may be too low). As arousal levels increase, so does performance, but only up to an optimal point. At this optimal point of arousal (normally moderate levels of arousal), the athlete’s performance will be at its highest. After this optimal point performance levels will start to decrease gradually en-us 2017-11-03 10:13:51 UTC 2025-12-30 21:29:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Growing.png image 1064641 https://padlet.com/1064641/invertedUtheory/wish/203219400

It is an extreme form of nervousness that negatively affects performance. It can be more apparent in the presence of significant others (e.g. parents, peers) or large audiences. ]]> 2017-11-03 11:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/1064641/invertedUtheory/wish/203226293 Athlete who got over aroused 1064641 https://padlet.com/1064641/invertedUtheory/wish/203227390 Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals will always stick with Steph Curry.

The mouth guard throwing menace shot just 6-of-19 from the field and was forced to watch as the Cleveland Cavaliers completed the biggest comeback in finals history.

And the expectation couldn't have been higher. The Warriors had won a record 73 regular season games and Steph had corralled his second consecutive MVP award. That was forgotten though, and what's remembered is the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

However, there has been some question over the type of curve demonstrated: does it give an optimal point, or do some athletes experience optimal arousal for a longer period of time? ]]> 2017-11-03 11:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1064641/invertedUtheory/wish/203229527 andymotch https://padlet.com/1064641/invertedUtheory/wish/203235108 The inverted U hypothesis differs from the drive theory.
