Abstract

Subjects were 63 male and female athletes from Jordanian disabilities national teams ranging in age from 20 to 35. Based on a pre-assessment of subjects' anxiety and self-control scales, the experimental group assigned to experimental conditions VMBR. Post-assessment data for experimental performance was analyzed by means of two groups. A significant main effect for the experimental group was observed, indicating that, there was a significant improvement in self-concept and low anxiety from pre- to post-assessment.
