elite sportspersons, those who participated in the “31st National Games held in
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP), Pakistan. A sample of (n=126 males= 86; females=
40) aging 18-27 participated in the survey. The pre-competition anxiety scores
were measured using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2). After
the competition, the sports performance scores of the athletes were accordingly
measured and then processed through computer software SPSS, version 24. The
analyzed data have shown a mild negative association between anxiety and
success in sport (r= -0.56, -0.67 & -.66). Additionally, the statistically inferences
revealed that different types of anxiety (trait, somatic and cognitive) have
produced significant on sports performance of athletes (p < .05). As for gender
differences, the analyzed inferences indicated significant differences between
male and female athletes pertaining to anxiety levels (p>0.05). In addition, athletes
who took part in team sport recorded higher score on Competitive State Anxiety
Inventory (CSAI-2) compared to individual sport-participants (p<0.05). These
