Figure skating is a complex sport, involving psychological demands including fear of failure or injury coupled with the physical demands of multi-revolution jumps, flying spins and extreme flexibility moves. To understand how these demands affect performance, this study employed a multifaceted examination of stress and anxiety variables. Multidisciplinary field studies of stationary sports have included monitoring of stress and anxiety variables such as heart rate, salivary cortisol levels, and state anxiety. Recent technical advances involving integration of heart rate and performance video have led to multidisciplinary field studies of ice hockey, fencing, and golf (Smith and colleagues, 1998, 2000, 2001). To extend Smith's work to a dynamic sport, this study examined the influences of psychological, physiological and situational variables on performance in adolescent competitive figure skaters. Fifteen skaters aged 11-17 years (M=14.6) were interviewed about sources of enjoyment and stress and asked to recall details associated with their previous best performances. Measures of state anxiety, positive states of mind, heart rate and salivary cortisol were evaluated in baseline, practice and competition situations. Performance measures were gathered in practice and competition by using a unique scoring system of weighted values for each jump and spin element in skaters' competitive programs. Although variability within and between skaters on all measures was marked, the group mean scores demonstrated a nonsignificant trend toward increases from baseline to practice to competition in A-state (STAI 32.5/37.6/40.3), heart rate (BPM 81/166/178), cortisol (.260/.468/.582), and from practice to competition in performance (62.7/66.9). Skaters' A-state scores were frequently inconsistent with physiological anxiety indicators. The competitive situation stimulated the physiological stress response, defined as cortisol levels more that 2.5 times baseline, in 8 skaters. Inductive qualitative analysis of interview transcripts showed that these athletes described highly individual pre-event arousal profiles. Advanced skaters demonstrated more evolved coping strategies to manage their arousal. Skaters described their best performances using language associated with a flow state. Enjoyment of skating was high among all athletes but enjoyment of competition was highest among the most successful competitors.
