El grupo (G1) estuvo formado por 8 gimnastas de la Selecci車n Nacional de Gimnasia Art赤stica Masculina y el grupo (G2) por 8 gimnastas de nivel nacional de Gimnasia Art赤stica Femenina. Se administr車 una versi車n reducida del Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) en tres competiciones, dos importantes para cada grupo (G1 y G2a) y la tercera de menor importancia para el grupo 2 (G2b). Los gimnastas del G1 tuvieron mayores niveles de autoconfianza e interpretaron dichos s赤ntomas como muy facilitadores para su rendimiento competitivo e interpretaron los s赤ntomas de ansiedad cognitiva m芍s intensamente que los del G2. No encontramos diferencias significativas entre niveles e interpretaci車n de ansiedad y autoconfianza en G2 cuando se eval迆an en dos competiciones de diferente importancia.Abstract The purpose was to describe the intensity and directional interpretation of anxiety and self-confidence in gymnasts of different ages, gender and competitive level in a major competition and analyze their differences in two meeting of very different importance in minor-level gymnasts. Were evaluated eight elite men gymnasts (G1; International level) and 8 national level female gymnasts (G2; National level). We administered a shortened version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) in three competitions, among which two were most important in the season for each group (G1 and G2a) and the minor third for the group minor-level (G2b). The G1 have higher levels of self-confidence that G2. Moreover their interpretation of symptoms of anxiety as facilitators for their competitive performance was very high. The G1 had interpretations of the cognitive symptoms of anxiety higher than G2. No significant differences between intensity and directional interpretation of anxiety and self-confidence in G2 when evaluated in two competitions of different importance.doi:10.5232/ricyde2011.02301 %K ansiedad %K autoconfianza %K percepci車n direccional %K gimnasia art赤stica %K anxiety %K self-confidence %K directional perception %K artistic gymnastic. %U http://www.cafyd.com/REVISTA/02301.pdf
