Resumen
Precompetitive anxiety and human mood have been studied extensively in sport
psychology. However, there is a shortage of studies carried out in combat sports, especially in
judo. The objective of this research was to analyze the main bibliographic sources on the profile
of human mood and precompetitive anxiety in judo players. It was carried out a systematic
analysis of the literature research published in the databases Dialnet, Scielo, Redalyc, Scopus,
Journal of Sport and Health Research, in digital magazines such as “EF Deportes”, “Revista de
Artes Marciales” and “Revista de Psicología Deportiva”. The research criteria were the
descriptor “anxiety in judo players”, “human mood in judo players” and its translation into
English. 11 scientific articles were collected developed between 2000 and 2019. Different
theories were identified that relate precompetitive anxiety to sports performance, as well as the
use of the iceberg profile concept to name the optimal human mood of an athlete. Revised
articles were grouped into three categories for better understanding, the first corresponding to
the definition of precompetitive anxiety, of which two subscales called somatic anxiety and
cognitive anxiety are prolonged. The second category that involved the concept of human mood
and a third that included all those studies that were carried out using instruments or
questionnaires that allowed the measurement of the variables anxiety and human mood.
Precompetitive anxiety and human mood are factors that influence sports performance
positively or negatively. When the athlete is able to use that anxiety in his favor and achieve
favorable results, there is talk of a positive effect on sports performance; usually it occurs with
the most experienced athletes. By the count, whether anxiety or human mood negatively
influences the athlete causing either negative thoughts or physical signs of anxiety such as
sweating, tremors, etc. the effects of these variables on performance will cause a low
performance that can even trigger in sports abandonment. Although, everything depends on the
form of evaluation (subjective or objective) that is given to performance as well as the ability
of the athlete to face these variables either before, during or after a fight or training
