Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of routine training on competitive state anxiety and the perceived performance of a university baseball player. The participant of this single-case experimental study was a university baseball player. Three measures (competitive state anxiety inventory-2, perceived performance inventory, and interview) were utilized to verify the effectiveness of the routine training program. The routine training was applied to the participant on 3 times a day, 3 times a week for 3 weeks (9 sessions). Competitive state anxiety and perceived performance were measured before/after 3-week performance routine application training. The results of this study were as follows. First, the routine training decreased the intensity of cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety of the participant. Also, the routine training increased the intensity of self-confidence of the participant. Second, the routine training positively changed the direction of cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and self-confidence of the participant. Third, the routine training increased the perceived performance of the participant. Lastly, the participant positively recognized competitive state anxiety and perceived performance through routine training.
