RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BASKETBALL PLAYERS' PLAYING ABILITY AND TRAIT ANXIETY
Abstract
This study sought to determine whether there was a relationship between basketball players' levels of anxiety and their
ability to perform. Using a purposive-random sample approach, the researchers selected 50 male basketball players
from the LNIPE, Gwalior region who had participated at the national level. The participants were between the ages of 18
and 23. The participants' trait anxiety was measured using the Sports Anxiety Scale, and three seasoned basketball
judges scored each participant's performance on a 5-point scale. The data was examined using the Pearson product
moment correlation to see if the dependent and independent variables were significantly correlated. The 0.05
significance level was chosen. SPSS version 20 was used to carry out the statistical procedures.
