Abstract

Beach volleyball is characterized as an intermittent sport. Despite the technical-tactical indicators being important for the result of the game, sports performance is the result of several dimensions. Therefore, the objective of this research was to verify the effect of technical-tactical performance and competitive anxiety on the result of the game with young beach volleyball athletes, as well as the relationship between these variables. Sixteen young male beach volleyball athletes participated in the study (age= 17 ±2.44 years). Athletes were submitted to a game, following the official rules. Before the games, all athletes answered the Brazilian version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2R), reported their confidence in victory through a visual analog scale, and had their individual technical-tactical performance analyzed later by video. The percentage of points (d=1.432) and coefficient of post-defense attack performance (d=1.615), percentage of points (d=1.169) and attack effectiveness (d= 1.300), and confidence in the victory (d=1.523 ), were the variables with the greatest effect on wins. In addition, low cognitive anxiety can reflect positively on the attack. Winning athletes performed better in offense and post-defense offense. In addition to presenting greater confidence in victory and self-confidence, and less cognitive anxiety.
