<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the effect of anxiety on training motivation among adolescent swimming athletes in Semarang City. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 70 adolescent athletes selected using purposive sampling. Anxiety was measured using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory–2 Revised, while training motivation was assessed using the Sport Motivation Scale–II. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The results showed that anxiety was not significantly associated with training motivation (r = –0.101; p = 0.406). Regression analysis also indicated that anxiety had no significant effect on training motivation (β = –0.092; p = 0.406), with a coefficient of determination of 0.010, indicating that anxiety explained only 1% of the variance in motivation. The ANOVA test confirmed that the regression model was not statistically significant (F = 0.700; p = 0.406). Therefore, anxiety is not a primary factor influencing training motivation among adolescent swimming athletes in Semarang City, thus, coaching strategies should be directed toward other more dominant factors.]]>
