Many Japanese canoe sprinters have problems starting from automated canoe-starting machines because they lack practice in using them. We developed a simple automatic canoe-starting machine for canoe sprinters and deployed it in everyday practice environments. We investigated the effects of start training on reaction times and state anxiety of canoe sprinters in the starting phase. Female university student canoe sprinters participated in this study (N＝16). The participants conducted 24 starting trials in the pre-test, and their reaction times were measured. The state anxiety when they imagined the start phase of a competition was assessed by using the State Anxiety Inventory. The start training consisted of 72 trials (24 trials per day). After the start training, the reaction times and state anxiety were measured in the post-test, similar to the pre-test. Results indicated that the reaction times decreased significantly from the pre- to the post-test. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the inter-trial variability of reaction times during the post-test compared to the pre-test. The state anxiety also decreased significantly from the pre- to the posttest. These results suggested that the start training using a simple automatic canoe-starting machine is useful for psychological condition and performance during the start phase of canoe sprint competitions. |
