A Comparative Analysis of Pre-Competition Anxiety (somatic anxiety) in Female Inter College Badminton and Volleyball Participants: A Case Study of District Sargodha, Pakistan.

    This research focuses on the comparison of the level of pre-competition anxiety (somatic anxiety) between intercollegiate women’s badminton as well as volleyball players in district Sargodha. The 300 female players who participated consisted of 150 badminton female players and 150 volleyball female players chosen within the age range of 16 to 21 years where M=18.5 and SD=1.87. This empirical research was delimited to the teams of women colleges of District Sargodha who took part in the Sports Events 2015-2016 of PASBAN (Pakistan Army Sports Base Achievement Network) which were held in the District Sargodha. The comparison of the level of their pre-competitive anxiety in two different games was performed with the help of Revised Competitive State Anxiety Invertory-2(CSAI-2R). The method of inferential statistics is performed on the collected data with the help of Independent Samples t/test for getting the desired result. The result depicts that no major variation is found in the level of pre-competitive somatic anxiety of the inter-collegiate female badminton and volleyball players. However, the outcome demonstrated that the level of anxiety in the girls who played badminton is higher than the girls who played volleyball. Overall, the outcome of this research will be beneficial for the athletes, other researchers, and coaches of badminton and volleyball because of the detailed review of the complex idea of competitive sport anxiety, and compared the badminton and volleyball girl players’ somatic state of anxiety.
