Description
Summary:Anxiety is established as a factor that can and/or affects the performance of athletes of different categories, so proposing psychological interventions focused on relaxation techniques and cognitive modification, aimed at reducing the anxiety present in this population becomes necessary. Therefore, the present study was developed with the purpose of executing an intervention plan for the management of anxiety levels in athletes belonging to the category of time and brand of the Loja Provincial Sports Federation. In this way, an experimental design was carried out in which athletes from the categories of athletics, swimming, cycling, weight lifting and skating participated. The instruments used were the State/Trait Anxiety Questionnaire (STAI) and its version adapted for children from 8 to 15 years of age, in addition to the psychotherapeutic intervention plan. The results obtained showed that a psychological intervention focused on the athlete's relaxation and cognitive modification techniques yielded positive results in the reduction of state anxiety. Regarding anxiety as a post-intervention trait, there was no statistically significant difference in said levels. Finally, this contribution suggests that there should be more research and variety of techniques to determine their effectiveness in reducing anxiety
