Técnicas de afrontamiento de la ansiedad por desempeño en deportistas de alto rendimiento.

Abstract

Developing and applying effective coping techniques are essential for athletes, coaches, and mental health professionals in the sports field. However, a primary challenge is the variability in the effectiveness of these techniques. This literature examines coping techniques for performance anxiety in high-performance athletes, addressing effective strategies based on scientific evidence. The methodology used was based on a detailed search in databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and SciELO. The selected articles were analyzed using a qualitative and descriptive approach. The results highlight that the most effective coping techniques combine cognitive and physical interventions; similarly, CBT and mindfulness have proven useful in restructuring negative thoughts and reducing stress. Furthermore, factors such as the athlete's experience, the type of sport, and the social environment significantly influence the effectiveness of interventions. This study offers a relevant theoretical framework for creating personalized strategies with a higher impact on managing anxiety in elite athletes. This study provides a relevant theoretical consolidation for creating personalized strategies with a higher impact index.
