Abstract
The authors discuss the therapy of pre-start anxiety in the context of athletic preparation, using a technique known as biofeedback training. This therapeutic technique applies the theoretical principles of biofeedback by means of an electronic device, the stress reduced. Based on the findings of research studies in this field, the authors conducted an experiment on a handball team and were able to confirm that biofeedback training in the self-control of anxiety was able to decrease pre-competition anxiety. This result lends support to the hypothesis of a psychophysical genesis of the syndrome. Verf.-Referat
