Purpose: Athletes' subjective responses to competition are dynamic and complex states, most often encompassing more than one emotion associated with specific types of appraisal and action tendencies, and mediated by various situational and personal factors. This study investigated the mediating effects of emotions in the relationship between adolescent boxers' cognitive appraisals and performance strategies in a pre-competition setting. Methods: The participants were 165 male and female boxing athletes aged from 13 to 19 years. They completed a multi-sectional questionnaires measuring the types of cognitive appraisals, emotions, and performance strategies. For data, descriptive statistics, correlations, and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Results: Athletes' positive emotions partially mediated the relationships between challenge appraisal and self talk, as well as challenge appraisal and conditioning in a pre-competition setting. But Athletes' negative emotions didn't mediate the relationships threat appraisal and performance strategies. Conclusion: It was concluded that athletes' challenge appraisal, positive emotion, and performance strategies are highly related constructs. It is also important that coaches should have a greater understanding of the experience of adolescent boxing athletes in stressful competition in order to develop efficient performance strategies.
