A condition in which an outside influence such as overwork or a mental or emotional state such as anxiety changes the working of the body and can affect the hormone balance (dict. Of sp. And ex. Sc. 2006, 200P.) Stress nervous tension or worry (dict. Of leis., Trav. And tour., 2008, 298P.) Stress 1. Any situation that has the potential for eliciting increased anxiety and arousal. 2. Unpleasant emotional reaction associated with arousal of the autonomic nervous system as a result of situational demands perceived as threatening. Involves the perception of an imbalance between environmental demand and person‟s capability to respond accordingly. Usually occurs under conditions in which failure to meet the demand is perceived as having important consequences, which in turn elicits heightened state anxiety. 3. Any behavior response of an organism to environmental stimulation. May be associated with feelings that are negative (distress) or positive (eustress) (dict.Of sp.And ex.Sc.1991, 146P) stress term for a general human reaction pattern to significantly increased physical and/or psychological demands. Stress, in the physiological sense, relates to the normal self-regulation process, i.E. The balancing principle no longer functions. Three levels of reaction are the result of stress: alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion. In sport stress is created particularly in connection with competition, especially in a » pre-start state, where the athlete assumes that he cannot reach the set goal. This stress situation deteriorates with irregular training and competition conditions, fear of the opponent, proneness to injury, assuming or being given the role as a favourite to win the competition, conflict with the coach and/or officials or teammates, difficulties in private and professional life, etc. However, physical sport activity in general also can make a positive contribution towards reducing stress.
