Emotions, heart rate and performance in archery

摘要

Background. A case study of an elite female archer was con- ducted to gain insight into individual psychopysical reactions accompanying an athletic event, and to test predictions of pre- performance emotions effects upon performance. good per- formance was expected when the actual pre-performance emo- tions resembled the recalled optimal emotion pattern. Con- versely, poor performance was expected when the actual pre- performance emotions paralleled the recalled ineffective emo- tion pattern.
