The survey-based study is aimed at evaluating pre-competition anxiety levels of sixty-four under eighteen male track and field athletes from different rural areas of Sabah. The evaluation instrument used in this study is the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2). The findings showed that there was a significant difference in pre-competition anxiety levels between track and field athletes (t = 2.088, df = 62, p <.05), with a mean pre-competition anxiety levels of track event athletes (M = 2.713, SD = .529, n = 32) was shown to be higher than field event athletes (M = 2.461, SD = .432, n = 32). It was also demonstrated from the study that the cognitive and somatic anxiety subscales were also significant (t = 2.140, df = 62, p <.05), (t = 2.623, df = 62, p <.05). The mean level of cognitive anxiety of the track event athletes (M = 2.667, SD = .734, n = 32) was higher than that of the field event athletes (M = 2.302, SD = .625, n = 32). In addition, the mean somatic anxiety level track event athletes (M = 2,500, SD = .766, n = 32) were also higher than field event athletes (M = 2.042, SD = .623, n = 32). Nonetheless, it was shown that the differences were not significant with regards to the self-confidence scales (t = -.413, df = 62, p> .05) with the mean level of confidence in the track athletes to be (M = 2.972, SD = .623, n = 32) whilst the field event athletes (M = 3.038, SD = .654, n = 32). 2020-03-02T11:33:51Z 2020-03-02T11:33:51Z 2020 Article Movement, Health & Exercise (MoHE), vol.9(1), 2020, pages 141-148 2600-9404 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/64459 https://www.mohejournal.com/index.php/mohe other Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi (KPT), Malaysia
