"%22The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of pre-competitive anxiety on autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity and, further, to monitor the time course of ANS recovery as well as perceived fatigue during 24 hours of post-half marathon period in amateur runners. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability was used for evaluation the ANS. The ANS was assessed one week before competition and in the competition day. During the post-competition period was ANS measured at the 1st, the 12th, and the 24th hour. Precompetition anxiety was evaluated by modified Likert scale. Fatigue was scored by Borg scale. Perception of anxiety was significantly higher in the competitive day than one week before the race. No significant differences between any selected HRV variables at the 12th hour as well as at the 24th hour of recovery compared to both pre-competition levels were found. Fatigue remained significantly elevated up to the 24th hour of recovery. Study shows that elevated pre-competitive anxiety induced the sympathetic predominance in ANS particularly during standing. It is evident that the causes of soreness or fatigue do not markedly affect the ANS during a later phase of recovery." . . "8"^^ . . "187641" . . . . . "\u0160af\u00E1\u0159, Michal" . .
