Detailed explanation-1: -Why Is Balancing Your Arousal Level Important? If your arousal level is too high your muscles will tense up, your coordination decline and you can easily slip into anxiety. Too low and you won’t have the concentration you need and your lack of drive will lead to underperforming.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inverted U hypothesis This theory states that there is an optimal level of arousal (which will differ from sport to sport and athlete to athlete). Performance levels will be at their highest at the optimal point of arousal. If arousal is too low or too high performance will be lower.
Detailed explanation-3: -Research shows that moderate arousal is generally best; when arousal is very high or very low, performance tends to suffer (Yerkes & Dodson, 1908).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Yerkes-Dodson Law suggests that there is a relationship between performance and arousal. Increased arousal can help improve performance, but only up to a certain point. At the point when arousal becomes excessive, performance diminishes.
