BACKGROUND: Rhythmic gymnastics is characterized by an athlete’s early participation in training and competition. This participation can cause high levels of anxiety and may impact negatively on sports performance.
OBJECTIVE: To verify the precompetitive anxiety and performance responses in rhythmic gymnastics athletes.
METHODS: Two rhythmic gymnastics athletes, aged 11 and 12 years old, were evaluated in individual clubs and rope apparatus, during a simulated and official competition. Precompetitive anxiety was assessed by CSAI-2R questionnaire, and performance was assessed by the athlete´s perception and jury score for each presentation.
RESULTS: The descriptive data suggest that in the official competition, the athletes presented higher values of somatic and cognitive anxiety, followed by a greater perception of performance. For the jury score, the athletes presented higher values in clubs and lower values in the rope apparatus during the official competition than the simulated competition.
CONCLUSION: The results of the present study suggest that precompetitive anxiety tends to be higher in more stressful conditions (official vs. simulated competition), but this behavior does not seem to influence the performance of gymnasts in individual presentations negatively.
