Relaciones entre ansiedad-rasgo y ansiedad-estado en competiciones deportivas

En esta investigacion se pretende comprobar la teoria de la interaccion de Spielberger (1972) en el ambito de la competicion deportiva, analizando las relaciones entre ansiedad-estado y ansiedad-rasgo en la competicion, segun las dimensiones somaticas y cognitivas de la ansiedad-rasgo y ansiedadestado. Para evaluar ambos constructos se utilizo la version alemana de los cuestionarios WAI-T y WAI-S, en una muestra de 135 deportistas de Luxemburgo. Los resultados obtenidos senalan que se pueden confirmar las hipotesis de Spielberger (1972), sobre la interaccion entre ansiedad-rasgo y ansiedad-estado, ampliandose su validez en el ambito de las competiciones deportivas. Asimismo, se comprueba la necesidad de separacion multidimensional en las componentes somaticas y cognitivas de la ansiedad para el registro de la ansiedad-rasgo competitiva y la ansiedad-estado competitiva.

Alimentación y consumo de sustancias (alcohol, tabaco y drogas) del alumnado universitario. Análisis en función del género y la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva University students' eating habits and substance consumption (alcohol, tobacco, and drugs) according to gender and sport practice

The aim of this study is to assess university students’ eating habits and unhealthy substance consumption (alcohol, tobacco, and drugs) as well as to determine the relationship between these factors, physical activity practice, and gender. Therefore, a descriptive inferential study was done by having 1085 students from the University of Seville complete a validated questionnaire. The main results showed proper and healthy eating habits by students. Alcohol is the substance that was most consumed, mainly during the weekend. Tobacco is the most consistently abused substance, and other drugs are consumed very little by students. Regarding gender, males regularly drink more alcohol than females, while females smoke more than males. Alcohol consumption is similar between active and sedentary students, but physically active students drink more alcohol on occasion and during the weekend than sedentary students. Likewise, the physically active students smoke at similar percentages to sedentary students over the weekend. Therefore, results suggest there is no relationship between physical activity practice and the different healthy habits taken into consideration in the present study.
