ABSTRACT:
The main goal of the investigation was to test predictions derived from the Individual Zones of Optimal Functioning (IZOF) model comprising facilitating and inhibiting emotions. The IZOF model suggests that an athlete is most likely to achieve best performance when prestart emotion intensities are close to the emotion intensities related to recalled optimal performances. Conversely, poor performance is expected when pre-start emotion intensities are near to the emotion intensities linked to recalled ineffective performances. To test this hypothesis, a single-subject study was carried out on an elite female archer during practice and competition at the 1995 world archery championships. A multidimensional approach was chosen incorporating emotions, heart rate pattern, and performance measures. Intraindividual analyses revealed that most emotion scores were near to recalled poor performance scores, particularly before competitive events. The dysfunctional pre-start emotion pattern was followed by non-optimal heart rate pattern, dysfunctional behavior, and poor shooting scores. These findings gave support to the IZOF-based predictions of emotion-performance relationships.
