Physiological, biomechanical and psychological factors which optimise performance
Arousal
Arousal is the energised state of readiness of an individual to perform a task, motivating them to direct their behaviour in a particular manner.
The primary aim of the performer is to maintain their arousal at an optimum level suitable for the activity undertaken so that concentration and decision making are not impaired. For example, Sally Gunnell may become aroused before she starts a race, this may cause increased heart rate and anxiety levels. Sally will need to focus and get in ‘the zone’ so that it won’t affect her overall performance.
