Over the past few decades, there has been a rise in athletes with disabilities competing in adapted sports. This trend has led to improvements in sports performance and new requirements for athletes' preparation. In addition to physical, technical, and tactical training, it is also important to consider the psychological factors that affect athletes during the preparation process. Managing the demands and pressures inherent in competitions is crucial. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the levels of trait anxiety and state anxiety in male athletes who practice sitting volleyball. Participants included 11 male athletes with an average age of 37,6 years (± 8,07 years) and an average experience of 4,18 years (± 3,06 years) in the sport. They completed an assessment protocol consisting of three instruments, including a demographic data identification form, the Competitive Trait Anxiety Scale (SCAT), and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2) questionnaires. The results showed that the athletes had medium and low levels of trait anxiety, cognitive state anxiety, and self-confidence, but individual scores revealed that some athletes had high levels of trait anxiety and cognitive and somatic state anxiety. As competition periods approach, changes in these parameters may occur, so it is recommended to implement psychological preparation in training.
