Abstract In this era of modernization, performance is one of the stress factors that often trigger affective reactions of anxiety, as well as psychophysiological changes in the human autonomic nervous system. In the context of sports performance assessment, athletes experience high levels of anxiety which often have a negative influence on their performance as anxiety tend to be a typical phenomenon experienced by athletes across various sports disciplines. Anxiety can be understood as a negative affective variable associated with a low level of performance (Gómez‐Íñiguez, Rodríguez, & Cantero, 2021). Present study applied narrative review on the previous studies as the research method to examine the factors and effects of the anxiety on the athletes’ performance. By synthesizing the findings from multiple previous studies, this study also aims to provide a deeper understanding of anxiety in athletes' performance and offer insights for future researchers and all other parties who involved in sports. Present study concluded that internal factors are the crucial elements that contribute to the anxiety on the athletes’ performance, and anxiety level tend to be able to increase or decrease the athletes’ performance. In order to ensure the positive effects of anxiety, athletes have to aware and stay in their optimal intensity zone for them to maximize their performance. More research, interventions and application of technology in anxiety awareness and management are recommended for the future researchers.
