Pre-competitive anxiety may have an impact on performance in a tennis match during real life
competition. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a relevant biomarker reflecting cardiac
modulation by sympathetic and vagal components of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
This study will analyse, with non-invasive tools, the influence of competition and precompetitive anxiety on psychophysiological activation, as well as its impact on performance
outcomes. A sample of 30 players between 14-18 years will be monitored during two firsts
round matches and a training day (simulating a match play). RMSSD and High frequency
(HF)-HRV (often referred to as respiratory sinus arrhythmia), Revised Competitive State
Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2R) and score-match (outcome of good or bad performance) will
be assessed before the tennis match and during the match breaks. According to the literature
review, we expect that “losers” will show lower resting HRV and will score higher in anxiety
compared to “winners”. Based on our findings, an individualized training program will be
implemented in order to improve performance in tennis competition. [-]
