O objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar o nível de ansiedade de pentatletas da seleção brasileira do Exército em relação às qualidades físicas e técnicas. A amostra incluiu 9 atletas masculinos (idade: 27,44±2,74 anos) e 6 femininos (idade: 26 ± 3,52 anos). Foram realizadas avaliações das qualidades físicas, a análise das qualidades técnicas pela pontuação dos atletas nas provas de pentatlo militar e a avaliação da ansiedade através da Escala de Ansiedade Esportiva SAS-2. Os resultados indicaram: 1) diferenças (p<0,05) no tempo de prática; pontuação em pista de pentatlo militar; natação; pontuação total; peso corporal; força e agilidade para o grupo masculino; 2) correlação forte e positiva entre tempo de prática e idade dos atletas masculinos (r= 0,701; p=0,035); 3) correlação forte e positiva entre flexibilidade e tempo de prática das atletas femininas (r=0,819; p=0,046); 4) correlações fortes e negativas da ansiedade somática com a pista de pentatlo militar (r= -0,890; p=0,018); e da preocupação com a pista de pentatlo militar (r= -0,819; p=0,046) e o arremesso de granada das atletas femininas (r= -0,817 ; p=0,047); 5) correlação forte e positiva da quebra da concentração com agilidade das atletas femininas (r= 0,866; p=0,026). A ansiedade somática, preocupação e quebra da concentração interferiram negativamente na capacidade motora e na competência neuromuscular das atletas femininas.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the anxiety level of pentathletes from the Brazilian Army team in relation to their physical and technical qualities. The sample included 9 male athletes (age: 27.44 ± 2.74 years) and 6 female athletes (age: 26 ± 3.52 years). The physical qualities were measured, technical qualities were analyzed using the athletes' scores in military pentathlon events and anxiety levels were assessed using the SAS-2 Sports Anxiety Scale. The results indicated: 1) differences (p<0.05) in practice time; military pentathlon track score; swimming; total score; body weight; strength and agility for the male group; 2) a strong, positive correlation between practice time and age for male athletes (r= 0.701; p=0.035); 3) a strong, positive correlation between flexibility and practice time for female athletes (r=0.819; p=0.046); 4) strong and negative correlations between somatic anxiety and the military pentathlon track (r= -0.890; p=0.018); and between worry and the military pentathlon track (r= -0.819; p=0.046) and the grenade throw for female athletes (r= -0.817 ; p=0.047); 5) strong and positive correlation between breaking concentration and agility for female athletes (r= 0.866; p=0.026). Somatic anxiety, worry and lack of concentration negatively affected the motor capacity and neuromuscular competence of female athletes.
