A Comparative Study Of Pre-Competition Anxiety Among South West Zone And North East Zone Athletes

The study aimed to compare the pre-competition anxiety levels between male athletes from the South West Zone and North East Zone Inter University competitions. The study selected 48 athletes from both zones. The descriptive statistics, including the mean and standard deviation, were likely calculated for each group separately to summarize the pre-competition anxiety levels. The main analysis conducted was an independent t-test, which compared the anxiety levels between the South-West Zone and North-East Zone athletes. The results of the t-test indicated that there was no significant difference in pre-competition anxiety levels between the two groups. The p-value obtained from the t-test was 1.86, which was compared to the significance level (alpha) of 0.05. Since the p-value (1.86) is greater than the significance level (0.05), it suggests that the difference in pre-competition anxiety levels between the South West Zone and North East Zone athletes is not statistically significant. Based on these results, you can conclude that there is no significant difference in pre-competition anxiety levels between the South West Zone and North East Zone inter-university athletes
