dc.description.abstractThe purposes of this study were 1) to assess mood and state anxiety in young Malaysian taekwondo athletes prior to competition and 2) to compare mood and state anxiety of successful and less successful athletes prior to competition. The subjects were recruited from the Kelantan taekwondo athletes that participated in the 28th National Remaja Taekwondo Championship 2008 which was held in Penang. The young taekwondo athletes (22 males, 12.86 ± 2.44 years and 17 females, 14.29 ± 2.47 years) were divided into successful and less successful athletes based on the tournament win-loss record. The Brunei Mood Scale (BRUMS) and Competitive State Anxiety Inventory 2-Revised (CSAI- 2R) were administered on the night before the competition day. Independent t-tests ware used to compare mood and state anxiety of successful and less successful taekwondo-in within gender. Pearson correlations were employed to assess the relationship between mood subscales. The present study found that there were no statistically significant difference between successful and less successful taekwondo-in in tension (3.00 ± 1.48 vs. 2.93 ± 1.92, p = 0.906, eta2 < 0.001), depression (1.67 ± 2.35 vs. 1.00 ± 1.27, p = 0.256, eta2 = 0.035), vigor (10.33 ± 3.26 vs. 10.33 ± 3.04, p = 0.999, eta2 < 0.001), anger (1.25 ± 2.86 vs. 1.19 ± 1.71, p = 0.930, eta2 < 0.001), fatigue (2.92 ± 3.48 vs. 2.89 ± 2.76, p = 0.979, eta2 < 0.001) and confusion (2.00 ± 2.34 vs. 1.96 ± 2.38, p = 0.964, eta2 < 0.001).), somatic state anxiety (15.36 ± 3.23 vs. 16.35 ± 3.25, p = 0.384, evl- = 0.021), cognitive state anxiety (17.50 ± 7.41 vs. 19.48 ± 7.74, p = 0.455, eta2 = 0.015) and self-confidence (32.83 ± 5.36 vs. 32.15 ± 6.97, p = 0.764, eta2 = 0.002). The successful taekwondo-in showed a statistically significant relationship between pre-competition tension and depression (p = 0.028), tension and fatigue (p = 0.046), as well as tension and confusion (p = 0.014). For less successful taekwondo-in, there was a statistically significant relationship between precompetition tension and depression (p = 0.003), tension and anger (p < 0.001), tension and fatigue (p = 0.003), as well as tension and confusion (p < 0.001). The mood profile of young Kelantan taekwondo-in did not resemble the iceberg profile. Successful young Kelantan taekwondo-in score higher in depression (1.67 ± 2.35 vs. 1.00 ± 1.27) when compared to their less successful counterparts (p = 0.256, eta2 = 0.035). There was a statistically significant difference between the non-depressed and depressed mood participants in somatic state anxiety (14.60 ± 2.28 vs. 17.28 ± 3.47, p = 0.008, eta2 = 0.174). Fatigue was moderately higher in the depressed mood taekwondo participants (p < 0.001, eta2 = 0.342), while the difference in depression was also moderate (p < 0.001, eta2 = 0.456). In the non-depressed mood taekwondo-in, there was a significant association between anger and confusion (p = 0.001). The results tend to follow the conceptual model postulated by Lane and Terry.
