Sport is a media product - so needs to be exciting/High scoring.

Inverted U Theory

Day 25 Face February Fighting


* As arousal increases so does performance.......
   up to
* an optimum point (Zone of Optimal Arousal)....
   then
* over arousal will lead to a decrease in performance.

The graph is modified because of these variables....

* Fine skills performed more effectively at low arousal (Archery shot) and Gross skills high arousal (Weightlifting)

*Cognitive stage - lower arousal better for optimum
  Autonomous stage - higher arousal better for optimum

* Introverts prefer lower arousal for optimum performance, extroverts higher arousal for optimum.

Examples

Under aroused - Rugby player half heartedly tackles
Optimum - Tackle is solid with good technique
Over aroused - Tackle is out of control, high tackle - give away a penalty

WAT - walking whilst on SSR.  1.8km.  Laps around the school!!!!
