Abstract

Anxiety is one of the psychological factors that can affect athletes’ performance during competition. In taekwondo athletes, anxiety may manifest through motor, affective, somatic, and cognitive symptoms that have the potential to disrupt concentration and decision-making. This study aimed to determine the anxiety levels of male and female kyorugi taekwondo athletes at Jala Dewa Taekwondo Club Dojang.

This study employed a quantitative approach using a descriptive quantitative survey design conducted on December 20–21, 2025, at Pancasila Sports Hall, Surabaya. The study population consisted of 60 athletes, while the sample comprised 20 athletes selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Sport Anxiety Scale developed by Nyak Amir (2013), consisting of 22 statement items, and were supported by observation and documentation. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 25. The results showed that the athletes’ overall anxiety level was categorized as relatively low and fairly well-controlled, with a mean score of 39.00. A total of 65% of the athletes were classified in the relatively low anxiety category, while 35% were categorized as having relatively high anxiety. The somatic aspect emerged as the most dominant dimension of anxiety. Furthermore, the comparative analysis revealed no significant differences in anxiety levels based on gender. Therefore, particular attention should be given to several athletes, and coaches are advised to implement structured anxiety management training programs.
