Final Test Flashcards
Often part of a pre performance routine. Not total relaxation but just removed unwanted tension
Momentary relaxation
A muscle to mind technique
Progressive muscle relation
Obtaining total relaxation. Helps athletes become aware of and later recognize and release even small levels of tension
Zero activation level relaxation
Inhale 4 count exhale 8 count
1:2 ratio
A momentary relaxation technique that is an abreviated version of passive progressive muscle relaxation
Quick body scan
A mind to muscle technique
Visualizing
Developed progressive muscle relaxation
Jacobson
All out contraction followed by relaxation. Next contract the muscles to half tension followed by relaxation. Finally, create just a small amount of tension followed by relaxation
Differential progressive muscle relaxation
Trying to relax actually increases anxiety and tension
Ironic processing
A nonspecific response of the body to any demand placed upon it pleasant or any unpleasant.
Stress
Good stress is?
Ustress
Bad stress is called?
Distress
A negative emotional state is?
Anxiety
A general predisposition to perceive many situations as threatening and to respond with high anxiety.
Trait anxiety
A non directive generalized body reaction
Arousal
A general (non sport) self report questionnaire measure of anxiety
STAI
What does STAI stand for?
State trait anxiety inventory
This requires a passive additude and training consists of a series of self suggestions designed to produce sensations of warmth and heaviness
Autogenic training
This is the most critical factor prior to performance that can effect how you play. This is non directional!
Arousal
This is a non specific response of the body to any demand made upon, whether pleasant or unpleasant
Stress
This is a negative emotional state by unpleasant feelings of intensity, preoccupation, worry, or apprehension
Anxiety
This is a type of anxiety where it is pre disposed to perceive many situations as threatening
Trait anxiety
This is type of problem is more likely to happen in situations where you think you cannot meet the demand
Anxiety
This is a type of anxiety that is based on the anxiety at a particular moment
State anxiety
Physical component reflecting perception of physiological responses such as heart rate, respiration, and muscle tension
Somatic anxiety
Thought component of fear worry and your concentration is disrupted
Cognitive anxiety
This measurement of anxiety measures competitive trait anxiety and is specific to sports.
Scat
What does scat stand for?
Sports competition anxiety test
This is the type of arousal theory where the more arousal is better. What kind of relationship does arousal have with performance?
Drive theory
This is the type of arousal theory where it believes that arousal is increased through drowsiness to alertness. Once arousal increases past alertness levels performance starts to drop
Inverted U
In inverted U, does fine motor skills need more arousal to reach it’s peak performance arousal rate or does gross motor?
Gross motor
What is a problem with the inverted U?
Doesn’t individualize the experiment. Some individuals may do better in low arousal places
This is the type of arousal theory where it extends the inverted U theory by incorporating individual studies into it.
Izof
This is an individual rating of of what arousal makes you perform best?
ZOF
This is the type of arousal theory where cognitive and somatic anxiety correlate, but are different constructs
Multidimensional anxiety theory
This was one of the studies that proves the multidimensional theory it was one somatic trait anxiety scale and then 2 cognitive trait anxiety scale
SaS
This is the type of arousal theory where challenges multidimensional anxiety theory for predicting performance by examining somatic anxiety and cognitive anxiety in isolation
Catastrophe theory
Heavy muscles slow reactions and low heart rate and energy are all signs of??
Under activation of the body
Being bored, in attentive, lethargic, not up, over confident, are?
all signs of under activation of the mind
Muscle tightness, sweating, pounding heart, frequent urination, and butterfly’s in stomach are all signs of?
Over activation of the body
Anxiety, frustration, negative self talk, and focusing on the wrong things are all signs of?
Over activation of the mind
This interferes with performance by preventing appropriate movement coordination. Makes you stiff
Bracing
This is the fact that you need a little buoy of tension in your muscles to perform well
Differential tension
This is known to be effective in releasing tension
Relaxation
Breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and massage are all ____ to ____ techniques
Muscle to mind
Meditation, visualizing, Autogenic training, and Autogenic training with visualizing are all ____ to ____ techniques
Mind to muscle techniques
This is when you breath all the way in and all the way out
Complete breath
This is when you relax while breathing in. At each breath from 5 all the way down to 0 you are more relaxed after each step closer to 0
5:1 count
This is the same as active muscle relaxation where you tense a certain muscle group for 30 secs as hard as you can and then relax for 30 then repeat but it is only tightened less than half way
Abreviated active potential muscle relaxation
This is the same as active muscle relaxation where you tense a certain muscle group for 30 secs as hard as you can and then relax for 30 then repeat but it is only tightened half way
Differential potential muscle relaxation
This is tensing anything and just relaxing your body to relieve tension
Passive potential muscle relaxation
This is the most portable of the muscle relaxation tests where you identify where your tight and then focus on loosening it up
Quick body scan
This is when the relaxation techniques actually tense you up
