Abstract: Anxiety represents a very important component, a fundamental element in professional sport, especially due to the fact that it can generate cognitive jams and determine direct somatic reactions which, implicitly, directly influence the way in which the athlete performs, the way in which decisions are taken, the relation to teammates, and resistance to stress and frustration in periods of training and competition. Anxiety is a natural phenomenon in professional sport, given the fact that any activity which implies a permanent surpassing of one’s own limits, also triggers an emotional imbalance and an intense state of stress. Anxiety depends on the one hand on the individual characteristics of the athletes, on the specificity of the sport being practiced, but also on the athletic activity’s level of performance. In this sense, the present article’s purpose is to circumscribe the specificity of anxiety in professional handball.
