title: Scores on trait and state anxiety of female karateka before the commencement of Shotokan karate training.
abstract: The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered to 17 female karateka immediately prior to Shotokan karate practice. As no difference between mean Trait and State Anxiety scores was found, it was suggested that this may be seen as a reflection of the changing times.
