Abstract

In the growing population of Spanish and Mexican route runners we analyze their precompetitive anxiety and its main features bio-socio-demographic characteristics. We also analyze the influence of these variables on the cognitive anxiety score, somatic anxiety and self-confidence, both in the Spanish sample route corridors, as in Mexican sample. Valuable descriptive data were obtained of their anxiety and bio-socio-demographic characteristic, and concludes that runners have a moderate route precompetitive anxiety, cognitive or somatic, without significant differences between sexes or between Spanish and Mexican samples. However, the score obtained in confidence are high in the Spanish sample and very high in the Mexican sample, in both cases with significant differences in favor of males. Finally, the influence of bio-socio-demographic variables scores in cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence, there are many significant differences, both by gender and between Spanish and Mexican samples
