This study investigates the correlation between reactive stress tolerance and anxiety among 22 male archers aged 18-25 from a private sports academy. Utilizing the Determination Test and Eysenck's Personality Profiler within the Vienna Testing System, data were collected and analyzed using Spearman's rho correlation. Results indicate a moderate negative correlation (-0.525) between anxiety and reactive stress tolerance, suggesting that athletes with higher stress tolerance experience lower anxiety, thereby enhancing performance in archery. The mean scores of 6.18 for anxiety and 160.64 for reactive stress tolerance highlight a favorable psychological profile for these athletes. Despite the small sample size, the study underscores the importance of psychological factors in sports performance and adds to the literature on sports psychology. Effective interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, biofeedback, neuro feedback, physical conditioning, and social support are discussed as strategies to manage anxiety and improve stress tolerance. The findings emphasize the need for personalized approaches in enhancing athlete performance and mental well being, and suggest further research to explore long-term effects and individual differences in these interventions.
