Description

Decrement in performance under psychological pressure (i.e., choking) is a major concern for athletes and coaches. Most athletes therefore must cope with psychological, physiological, behavioral, and performance related symptoms that occur under pressure. Firstly, we reviewed investigations and intervention studies on coping with choking with respect to several different motor skills of athletes, musicians, and speakers. Then, we focused on intervention studies that have used performance routines for against choking. These studies have investigated the effects of pre- and post-performance routines on motor performance under pressure. We concluded that many athletes, musicians, and speakers practice cognitive and behavioral coping skills. Furthermore, performance routines lead to the development of effective skills, resulting in optimal cognitions and performance under pressure. It is suggested that future studies be conducted in different fields to examine the detailed effects of practicing coping methods against choking.
