dynamics of emotions in sports

According to a new theory for the development of affective processes in sport, emotions are a driving force behind the performance of athletes. The theory states that the five components of emotions - from triggers to physiological reactions to higher cognitive processes - interact with each other in a circular process. In competitions, athletes can be affected by extremely positive and negative emotions, which makes sporting experience fascinating for both spectators and athletes. This dynamics of the affective processes have a direct impact on sporting performance and places the relationship between emotions and performance in a context that can improve understanding of human behavioral regulation, such as pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov explained.

Research in this area shows that the emotional climate can significantly influence athletes during a game. It is suggested that emotions can influence the performance positively or negatively by specific mechanisms such as attention, physiological arousal and even expression behavior. This makes it clear how important it is to regulate the emotional states of athletes to maximize their performance and to avoid emotional setbacks in critical moments.
