Cel badań. Celem badań było ustalenie, w jaki sposób czynniki demograficzne, treningowe i społeczne wiążą się z odczuwaniem przez biegaczy startujących w maratonach symptomów lęku przedstartowego, a także z jego oceną na skali mobilizujący-deprymujący. Materiał i metody. Przebadano metodą ankietową 240 uczestników trzech największych maratonów w Polsce. Wykorzystano polskie wersje The Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2RD) oraz Social Support for Physical Activity Scale. Wyniki. Wśród wymiarów intensywności lęku wartości lęku poznawczego i somatycznego były wyższe u kobiet i młodszych biegaczy, natomiast wartości pewności siebie – u mężczyzn. Przewidywany czas bieżącego maratonu korelował z intensywnością lęku pozytywnie, natomiast staż treningowy – negatywnie. Po przeprowadzeniu serii analiz regresji prostej ze wsparciem społecznym rodziny oraz przyjaciół jako potencjalnymi predyktorami poszczególnych wymiarów lęku (zmienne zależne) stwierdzono, że jedynie dwa z testowanych modeli były istotne statystycznie – intensywność lęku somatycznego (wsparcie rodziny i przyjaciół) i intensywność lęku poznawczego (wsparcie rodziny). Niespodziewany okazał się jedynie dodatni kierunek tej zależności oznaczający, że poziom lęku odczuwanego przez osoby biegające w maratonach rośnie wraz z poziomem otrzymywanego wsparcia społecznego. Wnioski. Pewne grupy osób są szczególnie narażone na stres przedstartowy. Konieczność sprostania oczekiwaniom rodziny i przyjaciół może generować stres związany z nadmiernym jej zaangażowaniem w aktywność sportową biegacza. Uzasadniony wydaje się optymalny stopień zaangażowania oraz wyczulenie środowiska rodzinnego i przyjaciół na stan zawodnika. Określenie, w jaki sposób wsparcie rodziny i przyjaciół oceniane jest przez osoby uprawiające sport wymaga dalszych badań.

Background. The purpose of the study was to examine how demographic, training, and social factors were related to pre-performance cognitive and somatic anxiety symptoms and their interpretation among runners taking part in marathon races. Material and methods. A total of 240 participants of the three biggest marathons in Poland were surveyed by using the Polish adaptations of the Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2RD) and the Social Support for Physical Activity Scale. Results. The intensity scores for cognitive and somatic anxiety were higher for female and younger runners, while the self-confidence scores – for males. The expected time of the current marathon was positively correlated with the anxiety intensity; in the case of experience, the correlation turned out negative. Linear regression analyses with social support from family and friends as potential predictors of particular dimensions of anxiety revealed that only two of the tested models were significant: somatic anxiety intensity (support from family and friends) and cognitive anxiety intensity (support from family). Surprisingly, the marathon runners’ anxiety increased along with the level of social support. Conclusions. Certain groups of people are particularly vulnerable to pre-competitive anxiety. The need to meet the expectations of the supportive environment and its excessive involvement may be a cause of stress. It seems appropriate to provide a moderate degree of support and sensitize the family and friends to the condition of the runner. An important line of future research would focus on determining how social support is assessed by people practising sport.
