TEMBE, Vicente A. et al. Pre-competitive in basketballs of national undee-16 selection. PsychTech [online]. 2020, vol.4, n.1, pp.3-9.  Epub Sep 29, 2021. ISSN 2184-1004.  https://doi.org/10.26580/pthj.art25-2020.

The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of pre-competitive anxiety factors in the national team of Mozambique U16. The sample consisted of 12 athletes, aged 14 - 16 years, of which 4 aged 16 and 8 aged 14 years. The instrument used was the “List of Stress and Pre-Competitive Symptoms (LSSPC) developed by Chagas (1995). The results showed moderate levels of pre-competitive anxiety in the six games played with an average sum of 56.92. In the six games played, basketball players presented at the level of somatic anxiety the following scores: 59.16; 53.34; 59; 61.5; 56.17, and 55.4. The athletes valued somatic anxiety relatively in the six games with the following values: 3.71; 3.09; 3.82; 4.12; 3.58 and 3.69. The conclusion is that basketball players participating in the 2017 African Under-16 Basketball Championship were dominated by moderate to high cognitive and somatic anxiety.
