abstract = {The objectives of the present study were firstly to evaluate precompetitive anxiety and
self-confidence (SC) in padel players according to their playing level; and secondly,
to study the factors that influence the levels of precompetitive anxiety and SC. One
hundred padel players, all of whom were federated men (age: M = 27.6, SD = 7.5 years;
weight: M = 73.4, SD = 9.8 kg; height: M = 175.6, SD = 7.5 cm) participated in
the research. The CSAI-2 (Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2) questionnaire was
used and a one-way ANOVA and a two- and three-ways MANOVA were conducted.
The results show that the players from a better category had higher scores in SC and
lower scores in somatic anxiety (SA) (!2 = 0.10 and !2 = 0.12, respectively). Moreover,
the factors of category, body mass index (BMI) and experience, predicted 82% of the
variance explained by the SC of the player. As a conclusion, this study has made it
possible to ascertain that the playing category, understood as the level of the padel
players, determines the levels of anxiety and SC and represents a key factor for the
prediction of sports performance.},
