A physiological response to a stimulus.
state of alertness, anticipation and complete readiness.
Arousal levels refer to a person's motivation to react with a high or low level of arousal.
Arousal And Sport Performance
for peak performance, tasks requiring high degrees of concentration and fine motor movements necessitate lower levels of arousal (called control sports).
Moderate levels of arousal are required for sports demanding moderately high levels of strength, speed, and coordination (known as speed-plus-control sports).
example, putting in golf/ executing
difficult shot in billiard
example, running bases in
softball/ catching ball (netball)

Post-competition anxiety: based on an athlete's residual anxiety caused by a previous individual or team's poor performance in a competition
The Inverted U-Theory
developed by Yerkes and Dodson (1908)
When arousal is very low, performance of an athlete in competition will also be low
When an athlete's arousal is at its peak, he or she will give his or her best performance.
Drive Theory
developed by Hull and Spence is to explain the influence of arousal on performance.
Performance is viewed as a function of motivation (arousal) and athletic skill.
The elicitation of dominating responses is assumed to be aided by increased (drive) arousal (correct responses).
