Abstract
In the last two decades extreme sports have been gaining popularity. Easy access to equipment and technological development affects a larger number of people practising such disciplines as rock climbing or skydiving. These disciplines are strongly associated with experiencing both positive and negative emotions. Research conducted in different sports disciplines clearly shows that emotions such as anxiety have a negative effect on the sport result. Unfortunately, we very often ignore the importance of emotions in recreational activities, which may be an omission in relation to extreme sports. The aim of this study was to find the relationship between the level of state anxiety and effectiveness of rock climbing, and the use of the phenomenon in educating outdoor trainers. The experiment was conducted in natural environment. The measurement of anxiety level was conducted using State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The results show the negative impact of anxiety on the effectiveness of rock climbing. Research analysis indicates a high possibility of using the test results in the process of educating outdoor trainers.
