Weinberg and Hunt (1976) demonstrated that high- and low-anxious subjects differed in their patterning of neuromuscular energy in performance under failure feedback. The present study extends these findings to conditions that involve success feedback. The Sport Competition Anxiety Test and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were administered to distinguish A-State and A-Trait subjects, while EMG indicated qualitative aspects of throwing. High-and low-trait anxiety subjects received either success, failure, or no feedback. High-anxious subjects performed best under success feedback, and low-anxious subjects performed best after failure feedback. High-anxious subjects used more EMG energy before, during, and after the throw in all conditions, and success feedback was beneficial for high-anxious subjects. The results are discussed in terms of the inter-relationships between efficiency of neuromuscular energy, motor performance, and state anxiety.
