    The main objective was to reduce anxiety levels and strengthen self- confidence in athletes with an intervention in Mindfulness, in order to obtain better results in competition and improve their competitive levels. This project was launched due to the need for an intervention that would allow them to improve their performance since championships are constantly being generated in the different parishes of the city, it should be noted that the COVID-19 Pandemic generated a total stoppage in the activities of the athletes, which had an impact on their physical and mental state, being essential to intervene in young athletes. According to research at a global and national level, these research variables are among the main ones that affect sports performance in athletes from different sports branches. The research was carried out with a control group and an intervention group with 26 young athletes aged between 18 and 20 years belonging to neighborhood soccer leagues, an instrument was applied that measured both anxiety levels and self- x v confidence, the applied intervention was specialized for athletes in the field of Mindfulness which has been used in other sports research. The efficacy of the intervention was statistically verified with favorable and significant results for the athletes, in the control group they were not found significant. It was concluded that the intervention achieved significant results in the athletes when competing, reducing their anxiety before, during and after the competition; and the didactic material helped with the strengthening of selfconfidence. Emphasis is placed on the benefits that athletes will have in future competitions, obtaining greater sporting achievements and learning from failures, avoiding sports desertion.

    Adiestramiento en la relajación progresiva para disminuir la ansiedad precompetitiva en deportistas
    (Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-09-01) Céspedes Guachamboza, Danilo AlejandroPsc. Cl.; Larzabal Fernández, Aitor Lcdo. MSc.
    Pre-competitive anxiety is established as a factor that can affect an adequate sports performances (Vaca, 2017) generating the need to execute techniques aimed at reducing this pre-competitive anxiety, such as relaxation techniques and, especially, training in progressive relaxation (Parás, et al, 2017). This research project corresponds to a review on the effectiveness of training in progressive relaxation to reduce pre-competitive anxiety in athletes. This research has a quantitative and quasi-experimental design, in which the Revised Competitive Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2R) was applied to 26 athletes from the athletics and chess disciplines, who were between 18 and 19 years old, 30 minutes prior to the competition. Subsequently, 6 training sessions in progressive relaxation (PRA) were executed and finally, a post-test was carried out on the instrument in question. In this way, a statistically significant decrease in the levels of cognitive and somatic anxiety was found in the post-test of the experimental group, while in the control group, both pre-test and post-test did not present a statistically significant difference. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of self-confidence corresponding to the pre-test and post-test of the 2 research groups. Therefore, this technique denotes its effectiveness in reducing cognitive and somatic anxiety in athletes, prior to a competition. Finally, this contribution suggests more research in relation to the use of relaxation techniques in its different modalities in order to compare the effectiveness of the variants on these techniques aimed at reducing precompetitive anxiety.
