Abstract

Background: Many BMX cross athletes experience high levels of anxiety before competing. While there is a wealth of research on anxiety in other sports, research specifically examining anxiety perceptions in BMX cross-athletes, taking gender and competition level into account, is limited. Objectives: This study aims to analyse the perception of anxiety of BMX cross-athletes in competition, viewed from gender and competition class. Methods: The method used is quantitative descriptive using the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2), which consists of 15 items and is divided into three main subscales, namely somatic, worry, and concentration disorders. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS Version 29 to determine the percentage of anxiety perception and differences in each gender and competition level. Subjects involving 18 BMX cross athletes in Bandung City aged 16.94 ± 3.404 years. Data analysis was carried out by presenting the percentage of results. Results: The results showed that BMX Cross athletes had a moderate level of anxiety, with a mean score of 2.43 ± 0.58 based on the SAS-2 scale (1–4). Descriptively, female athletes showed slightly higher mean anxiety scores than male athletes. Based on competition class, athletes in higher categories (U-23 and elite) tended to have higher mean anxiety scores compared to junior and challenge levels. However, these findings are descriptive only and should be interpreted with caution. Conclusion: This study concluded that BMX cross athletes have moderate levels of anxiety. Coaches and sports psychologists are encouraged to implement mental management training to further support athletes in stressful situations. Future studies should include larger, more diverse samples and examine additional factors to deepen our understanding of anxiety in BMX cross athletes.

Abstract

Background: Attentional control is a critical psychological factor influencing performance in combat sports such as taekwondo. However, limited research has examined attentional characteristics of junior athletes during the training phase, particularly within the Indonesian context. Objectives: This study aimed to describe the attentional characteristics of junior taekwondo athletes during training. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed involving 30 athletes aged 14–16 years. Attentional characteristics were assessed using the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), and gender differences were explored descriptively. Results: Male athletes demonstrated slightly higher scores in the information processing dimension (M = 56.29, SD = 11.66) compared to female athletes (M = 52.20, SD = 11.05). However, overall differences between groups were small, indicating relatively comparable attentional profiles. Across dimensions, most athletes demonstrated moderate levels of attentional control. Conclusion: Junior taekwondo athletes exhibited generally moderate attentional characteristics during the training phase. Although minor differences were observed between genders, these were not substantial. Future research should employ larger samples and inferential analysis to better understand factors influencing attentional development.
