Abstract

This research project was designed to study the relationship between the heart rate and trait anxiety of intercollegiate athletic coaches, as measured by telemetry and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The concept of determining the degree of emotional and psychological stress undergone by college coaches as reflected in the heart rate and trait anxiety level, has been an area of little consideration within the exercise physiology, psychology or medical fields...

The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between the heart rate and the trait anxiety level of college coaches of intercollegiate athletic teams, as measured by telemetry and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, respectively. The following subpurposes were also established:

(1) to determine the mean resting heart rates of each coach under morning (11:00 A.M.) and competition time (P.M.) conditions;

(2) to determine the mean and maximum heart rates of each coach under training session conditions;

(3) to determine the mean and maximum heart rates of each coach under pre-competition conditions;

(4) to determine the mean and maximum heart rates of each coach under competition conditions;

(5) to determine the mean and maximum heart rates of each coach under post-competition conditions;

(6) to determine the percent rank score of the trait anxiety inventory administered to each coach.
