Resumo

Introduction: Currently, there is an increase in mental health problems worldwide. However, as has been shown, physical activity can alleviate these diseases, highlighting anxiety among them. Anxiety is a negative emotional experience that occurs at both cognitive and somatic levels. At the sports level, competition can be presented as a challenge, being able to perceive it as a source of activation or the origin of alterations for the athlete. Aim: The main objective of this study is to analyze whether participants in the MiniOlympics suffer from competitive anxiety. Methods: Methods: The sample consisted of 153 participants aged between 10 and 13 years. The Competitive Anxiety SAS-2 Questionnaire (Ramis et al., 2010) was used, which uses a Likert scale 1-4 to assess somatic anxiety, worry and distraction. Results & discussion: Results and discussion: The results indicate that MiniOlympics participants suffer from competitive anxiety, presenting the highest values in the worry component. In addition, boys have higher values of competitive anxiety than girls. Thus, a proposal for activities is made to try to alleviate competitive anxiety with 10 weeks of intervention. Conclusions: This work provides a clear vision about the possibilities of improvement of the MiniOlympics inducing healthy benefits among its participants. In addition, an intervention proposal is presented that could generate an improvement in anxiety and allow students to enjoy the competition or not, so an evaluation would have to be carried out after the intervention to determine its impact.
