Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and self-confidence will differentially influence sports performance. This systematic review included 78 studies that involved 9010 participants. Results indicate that more athletes experience low self-confidence in athletic performances followed by cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety. It is posit that low levels of self-confidence and cognitive anxiety can have a positive effect on performance; however, low levels of somatic anxiety can have a negative effect on performance. The melding of cognitive anxiety along with somatic anxiety producing a high level of anxiety can have the greatest positive effect on performance.
