Abstract

The research aims at measuring the level of anxiety among students of the Middle Technical University in table tennis through measuring the anxiety rate and knowing the level of anxiety among students of the Technical Administration Institute. The researchers used the descriptive approach with the survey method. The researchers selected a sample of (60) male students, the first and second stages of the academic year 2023-2024, who play table tennis. The researchers use the Spilberger scale, which consists of (20) paragraphs. The results were mainly the high and different level of anxiety among university students from playing table tennis (severe anxiety - above average anxiety - normal anxiety – no anxiety) among students. Standard levels were set for a scale to measure the level of anxiety among students of the Middle Technical University in table tennis. Feeling tired and bored increase anxiety among students. Low self-confidence increases anxiety among the students. One of the most important recommendations was the importance of the use of the scale for measuring the level of anxiety among university students who play table tennis, working necessarily to remove the factors that may lead to anxiety among university students; and developing special programs to reduce the level of anxiety.
