Answer 1

An increased sense of arousal in an athlete can lead to increased muscle tension as a result of improper training, and simultaneously leads to attention deficits in being able to focus on their work at hand. This would ultimately lead to a decrease in the performance level of any given athlete.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be Option-A

Explanation:

Arousal in human energy plays an important role in athletics as it increases or boosts up the confidence level to do work.

But over-arousal or too-much arousal in athletes shows the negative symptoms like it causes the rapid heartbeat, anxiety, nervousness, shallow breathing and the muscle tension. The muscle tension leads to problems while focusing and cause attention deficit and decreases the output or performance.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
