    Area of Science:

    • Sport Science
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Anxiety can impact performance in various physical activities.
    • Understanding anxiety's role in learning new motor skills is crucial for effective training.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between anxiety levels and performance in beginner scuba diving students.
    • To differentiate the impact of anxiety on simple versus complex diving tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • Recruited 62 beginner scuba diving students.
    • Assessed student anxiety levels.
    • Measured performance on standardized Y.M.C.A. scuba diving training program tests, differentiating between simple and complex maneuvers.

    Main Results:

    • No significant relationship was found between anxiety levels and performance on simple scuba diving tasks.
    • A significant relationship was observed between higher anxiety levels and poorer performance on complex scuba diving maneuvers.

    Conclusions:

    • Anxiety does not appear to hinder the acquisition of basic scuba diving skills.
    • Managing anxiety is important for improving performance in more challenging scuba diving activities.
