ANALYSIS AND RELATIONSHIP OF SELF-CONCEPT AND ANXIETY IN PADDLE PLAYERS

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze and study the anxiety and self-concept of the paddle players. The study involved 118 subjects, of average age 31.86 years (SD = ± 8,959). The instruments used to measure these constructs have been the State-Trait Anxiety Questionnaire (STAI) and the Self-concept Questionnaire (AF5). The analyzes have shown the inverse relationship between anxiety and practice time of this sport, in addition to the inverse relationship between the self-concept and anxiety-trait dimensions. The results indicate that padel is a sport that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of the participants due to its positive relationship with anxiety and self-concept.
