With respect to the fact that every sport field has its own special nature, the aim of present study was to compare competitive state anxiety among team sport and individual sport athletes of Chaudhary Charan Singh University Meerut. Study include 100 male athletes, 50 athletes in individual sports (boxing,weightlifting) and 60 athletes in team sports (football,Kho-Kho). The research instrument employed was Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2).This inventory was distributed among the subjects about 30 minutes before the first competition. Finally by one-way ANOVA data was analyzed. The results indicated that the mean score of somatic anxiety and cognitive anxiety among individual sport athletes was significantly higher than that of team sport athletes (p0.05). It seems the being part of a team alleviates some of the pressure experienced by those who compete alone. It seems the individual sport athletes may be more exposed to evaluation and more engaged in their own skills and abilities than team sport athletes given that responsibility for performance is not distributed across several performers.
