We analyze these relationships using a multidimensional anxiety perspective.</p><p><strong><em>Method: </em></strong>A sample of 128 judokas from amateur to high performance level participated in our study. The intensity and directional somatic anxiety, cognitive anxiety and self confidence of the CSAI-2 were measured.</p><strong><em>Results:</em></strong> The results show that the questionnaire administered showed acceptable psychometric properties, and there are differences in directional somatic and cognitive anxiety for age, and in intensity self confidence for sport level.
