- Arousal Theories
- Drive Theory
- arousal is proportional to performance
- As arousal increases so should performance.
- quality of performance is dependant on how well the skill is learnt
- As arousal increases dominant responses often occur.
- High physical capability sports back this theory up.
- arousal is proportional to performance
- Inverted U-Theory
- As arousal increases so does performance until a certain point.
- this point is called the optimum
- If arousal is low so is performance
- Too much arousal will result in a poorer performance.
- At medium arousal levels, sporting performance peaks. This can be described as optimal arousal and might be experienced when a boxer gets themselves in the right 'zone' to perform at their best.
- As arousal increases so does performance until a certain point.
- Catastrophe theory
- highlights the relationship between cognitive and somatic arousal
- as somatic arousal increases performance will as well provided cognitive arousal stays low.
- if cognitive arousal and somatic arousal are both too high a performer will experience a catastrophe.
- If after this catastrophic effect, arousal decreases, then performance will once again improve but not back to its originally optimum level.
- Drive Theory
