Estado psicológico de los corredores populares de maratón en los días anteriores a la prueba

Abstract

Psychological state of recreational marathon runners on the days prior to the race. The present study has investigated the psychological state of recreational marathon runners 65-12 hours prior to the event, considering three relevant variables: somatic state-anxiety, cognitive state-anxiety, and state self-confidence. Results have shown low scores in both somatic and cognitive anxiety and high scores in self-confidence, with negative significant correlations between self-confidence and somatic anxiety, and self-confidence and cognitive anxiety, and a positive significant correlation between somatic and cognitive anxiety. Likewise, a negative significant correlation was found between somatic anxiety and age, and between somatic anxiety and the previous experience of the participants. A positive significant correlation was also found between somatic anxiety and the best time in previous marathon races. Finally,significant differences were not found considering the proximity of the race, and a better psychological functioning was observed in subjects with higher previous experience and better previous performance.
