Adaptation of ISRA-B to performance football players

This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the ISRA-B and confirm the factorial structure of the ISRA-B in a sample of 141 performance male football players with an age range between 14 and 24, The results indicate that the analysis factor confirmed tridimensionality in the manifestation of anxiety-cognitive, physiological and motor-. According to the factorial approach, the ISRA-B is reduced from 24 to 21 items. Besides, there is some variation of items due to the integration of the factors with respect to the original scale. We conclude that the adapted version of the ISRA-B is a valid and reliable instrument, so we recommend its use with performance football players when assessing anxiety responses.
