- Resting heart rate
5
Q
Anxiety and arousal
A
- Trait and state anxiety
- Sources of stress
- Optimum arousal
6
Q
Nutritional considerations
A
- Pre-performance (carbohydrate loading)

- Performance elements (decision-making, strategic and tactical development)
- Practice method (part, whole, distributed, massed)
- Feedback (internal, external, concurrent, delayed, knowledge of results, knowledge of performance)
12
Q
Assessment of skill and performance
A
- Characteristics of skilled performance (kinaesthetic sense, anticipation, consistency, technique)
