ABSTRACT:
The present investigation examined relationships between figure skating performance and perceived stress from daily hassles and skating-specific stressors. Results from 13 young, female figure skaters showed that higher levels of daily stress, skating-specific stress, and total stress were related to poorer skating performance. Our study, although very limited, was consistent with theory-based predictions. We also provide a discussion of the different approaches generally taken by sports psychologists and stress researchers in studies relating stress to athletic performance and suggest that these may be combined to more fully evaluate stress-performance relationships in sport.
