Psychometric evaluation of competitive anxiety. Psychometric evaluation was performed for Cognitive Anxiety (CA), Somatic Anxiety (SA) and Self Confidence (Self-C) in those who won (N = 28), and those who lost (N = 28) at 96 h and 24 h pre-official competition. The CA, SA and Self-C scores were assessed by CSAI-2. Those who lost showed higher CA scores at 24 h pre-official match than those who won. At the same time, losers athletes showed significantly lower Self-C score than winner at 24 h pre-official match. Data are expressed as means ± SD. Significance was obtained with repeated measures ANOVA (1 between the winner-loser factors; 1 within time factor) followed by the Bonferroni post hoc test. ^#p < 0.05 versus previous competition time point; *p < 0.05 versus winner athletes at the same time point.
