Method: 10 non-elite dressage, aged between 21-26.
Results: positive effect on performance.
Implications: mental skills training was effective.
Criticisms: Only looking at non-elite, small sample size - good quality of training, difference in competitive experience, maybe different judges.
Future research: Somatic anxiety effects the riders ability- how to deal and cope with SA. Coping strategies for SA.

Method: 40 riders completed the Revised Competitive Sport Anxiety Inventory 2  
Results:
-Lower somatic arousal and higher self confidence in elite riders compared to non-elite.
-Negative correlations between cognitive arousal and higher self-confidence were found among elite riders.
Implications: That elite riders may have a certain set of skills that enable them to cope with stress and anxiety more efficiently.
Criticisms: wide variety of disciplines, unbalanced number of male to female riders.
Further research: investigate the effects of cognitive and somatic arousal on competitive performance; and how self confidence affects how a person interprets their anxiety.

Method: 23 collegiate athletes from football, womans basketball and mens basketball teams were tested for som and cog anxiety 45 mins before competition 
Results: No relationship found between som or cog anxiety and performance. Positive linear correlation between cog anxiety and performance for basketball players.
Criticisms: 
- Findings are inconsistent with previous research.
-Relatively small focus group.]]> 2016-12-15 09:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/143790211 Jones, Swain and Hardy 1993 vbarker https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/143791350 Good performances on the balance beam have been associated with gymnasts interpreting cognitive anxiety as faciliative.]]> 2016-12-15 09:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/143791350 Jones and Swain 1992 vbarker https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/143791592 Elite swimmers have reported both cognitive and somatic anxiety as more facilitative and less debilitative than have nonelite swimmers. In addition, researchers have found that  elite swimmers were able to consistently maintain a facilitative interpretation of anxiety, especially through using psychological skills such as goal setting, imagery and self-talk (Hanton and Jones, 1999, Wadey & Hanton 2008).]]> 2016-12-15 09:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/143791592 jdfbsmjdbfsj johnandvickie https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/209416738 2017-11-22 11:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/vbarker/stressproject/wish/209416738
