Abstract

This study aimed to measure the sport emotion among Afghan martial arts and non-martial arts athletes. A total of 50 athletes from different sports (aged 18-30 years) were selected for this study. The Sport Emotion Questionnaire (SEQ), which was developed by Jones et al. in 2005, served as the research instrument for this study. The research found a significant difference in sport emotion among Afghan athletes in Nangarhar Province. The results showed that the mean scores for happiness emotion and excitement emotion were the highest among all emotions in Afghan athletes in Nangarhar Province. Among negative emotions, Afghan athletes had the highest scores in anxiety emotion and the lowest score in anger emotion. The outcome of this study can help Afghan sportsmen achieve better results in future sports events and tournaments.
