This maybe as a result of the cognitive and somatic effects they have had and how the effected their performance. On the other hand if they were to perform well they may see competition as a stressful situation they feel pleasure from taking part in competition. An athlete, who fears competition and does not perform well, will see this competition as a stressful situation in the future. Behavioural effectsĮach athlete will deal with stress differently, either in a positive or negative manner often depending on their previous experiences. 'I know I am not going to win', 'the other team are much better than ours', have a negative effect on performance and cause the athlete to feel somatic effects such as heavy breathing and sweating. 1 2 The somatic nervous system consists of sensory nerves carrying afferent nerve fibers, which relay sensation from the body to the central nervous system. Neurons are composed of a soma that contains the nucleus of the cell a dendrite. The somatic nervous system ( SNS ), or voluntary nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. Neurons are the cells in the nervous system. Cognitive effectsĬognitive stress relates to the negative thoughts that athletes' have. The body is controlled by the nervous system, consisting of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the endocrine system, which is made up of glands that create and control hormones. When they no longer feel stressed the parasympathetic nervous system takes over, having the opposite affect of the sympathetic nervous system. When athletes' become stressed this activates the sympathetic nervous system which increases adrenalin. This stress reaction is caused by adrenaline, and other stress hormones, and is known as "The Fight or Flight Response".
Somatic stress relates to the physical effects that happen within the body. The somatic nervous system is made up of sensory receptors that. Somatic, cognitive and behavioural effects of stress Somatic effects The somatic nervous system maintains communication between the CNS and the outside world.
