The purpose of the present study was to find out the difference between pre–competitive anxiety and post–competitive anxiety in national level male and female yogic practitioners. Total sixty (N=60) national level yogic practitioners i.e. thirty male performers (Gr. M) and thirty female performers (Gr. F) were randomly selected from National level School Yogasanas Competition, held at Delhi, 2012. Data were collected from performers using a Sports Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT) consists of fifteen items which include 5 spurious items, 8 positive items and 2 negative items. The t–test was used to compare the mean of the anxiety level between pre and post competition. The level significance was set at p<0.05. The result of the study reveals that :– i) Pre–competitive anxiety of national level for both male and female yogic performers was higher than post competitive anxiety levels. ii) Significant improvement was observed between pre and post competitive anxiety of both national level male and female yogic performers. iii) Female yogic performers were significantly higher level of anxiety than male yogic performers.
