The Effect of Swimming Abilityon the Anxiety Levels of Female College Students

Asian Social Science, 2013

This study aims to determine changes in the anxiety levels of female college students in relation to their swimming skills. The results of the study were obtained from 141 female college students enrolled at the University of Kebangsaan Malaysia. Breaststroke was used in order to evaluate their swimming skills, while Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to evaluate their anxiety levels. The analysis and observations confirmed a moderately strong correlation (r =-0.407, sig .000) between the level of anxiety (state anxiety) experienced in the water and swimming skills. The results showed that learning how to swim decreases the anxiety levels of female college students. We suggest that taking up this activity might have benefits for students with high levels of anxiety.

Acta Scientiarum. Health Sciences

This study analyzed the level of state-anxiety of swimming athletes based on sex, category, competitive specialty, competitive level and competitive experience. Participants were 178 male (n = 105) and female (n = 73) swimmers with mean age of 15.51 ± 1.9 years at regional, national and international levels. The Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CASI-2) was used as instrument. Data analysis was conducted using the independent Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation. The results showed higher levels of self-confidence in males (p = 0.02) and higher levels of cognitive anxiety in females (p = 0.019). Among the competitive specialties, there were differences between levels of cognitive anxiety (p = 0.045) and self-confidence (p = 0.041) of swimmers. Differences were also observed in levels of cognitive anxiety (p = 0.049), somatic anxiety (p = 0.001) and self-confidence (p = 0.047) between swimming competition levels. It was concluded that male swim...

Pre-Competition Anxiety Score among Elite Boy Swimmers in Iran

World Family Medicine Journal/Middle East Journal of Family Medicine

Introduction: The present study was performed to measure the precompetitive anxiety and its two subcomponents (somatic and cognitive) and its relationship with age, weight, height and body mass index. Methods: This is a descriptive study performed using a demographic questionnaire and sport competition anxiety test (SCAT) designed by Martens consisting of 15 questions. The study population consisted of 14 elite boy swimmers. The questionnaires were filled out by swimmers 30 minutes before competition. The data were analyzed by SPSS software, using pair t-test, student t-test and linear regression test. Results: The mean score of precompetitive, somatic and cognitive anxiety was 17.93±3.25, 14.71±2.95, 3.21±0.97, respectively. The percent of somatic and cognitive competitive anxiety was not significantly different. The results showed no significant relationship between precompetitive, somatic and cognitive anxiety with age, weight, height and body mass index of swimmers (p>0.05). Conclusions: Our study suggests that the swimming competition equally effects on somatic and cognitive components of anxiety.

The Effects of a Psychological Intervention Program in Swimming

Mission of the Journal of Excellence, 2008

The purpose of the investigation was to examine the effects of a Psychological Intervention Program (PIP) in swimming performance. The program included several psychological skills such as, relaxation, imagery, goal setting, concentration, and self-talk. The program was evaluated through the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) and the swimming performance of each participant. Participants were 14 young swimmers (10 male and 4 female) in the experimental group and 29 participants (15 male and 14 female) in the control group who completed the CSAI-2 before the simulated race. The experimental group followed a psychological intervention program for nine weeks and then both teams were retested after completing the CSAI-2 again. The results showed that there was a significant increase in performance and confidence in the experimental group after the nine-week intervention but no significant change in the cognitive and somatic anxiety when compared to the control group .

The aims of the research were to determine initial state of Police University students swimming skills and effect of swimming course on swimming performance. Research consisted of initial and final testing with 10 swimming classes between. The sample consisted of 255 subjects (160 males; 95 females). Initial testing showed for males: 25 (15.63%) belonged to nonswimmers, 78 (48.75%) to semi-swimmer (MSS) and 57 (35.62%) to good-swimmer group (MGS); for females: 14 (14.74%) belonged to non-swimmers, 72 (75.79%) to semi-swimmer (FSS) and 9 (9.47%) to good-swimmer group (FGS). ANOVA showed statistically significant differences between good-swimmer and semi-swimmer groups (F=27.505, p=0.000 for males; F=27.657, p=0.000 for females). The t-test results after swimming course showed that all groups achieved statistically significant better swimming times: MSS-F=3.444, p=0.001; MGS-F=3.594, p=0.001; FSS-F=12.373 and FGS-F=4.054, p=0.004, p=0.000, while ANOVA showed remaining of statistically significant differences between good-swimmer and semi-swimmer groups (F=51.508, p=0.000 for males; F=24.764, p=0.000 for females).

EXAMINATION OF THE RELATION BETWEEN SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT STUDENTS' APPROACH TO LEARNING AND STUDYING AND TEST ANXIETY

In this study, the aim of this study was to examine the relation between school of physical education and sport students' approach to learning and studying and test anxiety. Students in departments of physical education and sport teacher (n=103), coaching education (n=155) and sport management (n=110) at Mugla Sıtkı Koçman University participated in the study (n=368). 145 of participant were female, 223 of them were male. Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI), developed by Speilberger (1980) and adapted to Turkish by Öner and Albayrak-Kaymak (1993) (cited in Erözkan, 2004), was used to identify students' test anxiety levels. Approaches to Learning and Studying Inventory (ALSI), developed by Hounsell, Entwistle, Anderson et al. (2002) and adapted to Turkish by Topyaka, Yaka and Öğretmen (2011), was used to identify students' approaches to learning and studying. ALSI consists of 18 items with 5 Likert. TAI consists of 20 items with 4 likert. One-Way ANOVA and Independent T-Test in SPSS 16.0 were used to analyze the collected data. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to find out whether used inventories were suitable for the sample. When the differences about approaches to learning and studying between departments were examined, while no significant difference was found in surface and deep approaches, significant difference was found in strategic approaches. No significant difference was found between grades. Significant gender differences were found in emotionality, worry and total test anxiety. Positive correlation was found between surface approach and emotionality, worry and total test anxiety. Consequently, it was found that students who adopt surface approach have high-test anxiety, because it was found that while adopting surface approach, students could have high-level of emotionality and worry. It is important to create learning environment that discourage students to adopt surface approach.

https://www.ijrrjournal.com/IJRR\_Vol.9\_Issue.7\_July2022/IJRR-Abstract63.html, 2022

This research was based on the observations and experiences of researchers, which most children have dared to come in the water but in doing the correct movement for the freestyle, they still need direction. Therefore, the sports physical Education and health (PJOK) coach or teacher played an important role in directing good and correct swimming lessons. In this study, there were two ways to learn freestyle swimming they were using a float (swimming board) and with the help of friends so that the implementation of freestyle swimming can be achieved. The problems of this researcher are (1) How much was the effect of the exercise method using the swimming board on the 25 meter freestyle swimming technique? (2) How much influence did the training method with the help of a friend have on the 25 meter freestyle swimming technique? (3) Which was better the training method using a swimming board or a friend's help for the 25 meter freestyle swimming technique? This research was a type of quasi-experimental research (quay experiment) with a quantitative approach. Experimental research was a research conducted strictly to determine the causal relationship between the variables. The conclusions of this study are: (1) In this study, there was an effect of exercise using a swimming board in a 25 meter freestyle swimming speed. From the initial test/pretest the fastest time was 01.29, while the final test/posttest got the fastest time of 01.11. Based on the research problem formulation and research results, there were significant differences in freestyle swimming using a swimming board and the help of friends. It was proven from the results using the SPSS calculation where the significance of the swimming board was 0.017 < 0.05, so there was a difference between the pretest and the posttest which the sig was less than 0.05. (2) The effect of swimming exercise with the help of a friend in a swimming speed of 25 meters. From the initial test/pretest the fastest time was 01.31, while the final test/posttest got the fastest time of 01.27. Then from the results of the freestyle swimming research using the help of friends, the results were 0.084> 0.05, so there was no significant difference from the results of the pretest and posttest using the help of friends. (3) So, it could be the concluded that there was a significant difference between using a swimming board and using a friend's help. In this study, the method of using the swimming board was better than the 25 meter freestyle swimming. It was proven from the results using the SPSS calculation where the significance of the swimming board was 0.017 < 0.05, so there was a difference between the pretest and posttest which at sig was less than 0.05. , then there was no significant difference between the results of the pretest and posttest using the help of friends. Based on the conclusions of this study: (1) For swimming students, they can use and run an exercise program with methods, either using assistive devices or not using assistive devices to increase the speed of the 25 meter freestyle swimming correctly. (2) For swimming coaches, in order to be able to innovate more in developing training methods, either using assistive devices or not to get the best results.
