Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the temporary anxiety level among the Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) football players during the Higher Education Institution (IPT) Championship League 2018. The inventory for this research is ‘Competitive State Anxiety Inventory– 2 (CSAI – 2)’ which has been implemented on 25 people. Their anxiety level is obtained through the mean value and the standard deviation using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test from the ‘Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences Version 11.5 (SPSS+11.5)’. The findings of this research show that the temporary anxiety level of the Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) football players increases when it is closer to the match. 7 days before the actual match, the mean score range which is the anxiety cognitive mean is 21.36. The anxiety somatic mean is 17.80 and the self-confidence mean is 25.20. An hour before the match, the mean score shows an increment on the mean anxiety cognitive range which is 21.84. The anxiety somatic mean is 18.36 whereas the self-confidence mean is 21.84. This clearly shows that the anxiety level of all players has increased immensely an hour before the match. The temporary anxiety of the players can be affected by age factor, experience on the field, frequent practice, level of competency, surroundings, mental strength and the unity of the team.
