on competition anxiety in female football players. 83 female football players in Premier League division of Turkish

determine sport ability, physical condition, body attractiveness, strength and general physical competence.
According to the results of Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, competition anxiety was negatively
correlated with sport experience (r=.-218; p<0.01), sport ability (r=.-486; p<0.01), physical condition (r=.-461;
p<0.01), strength (r=.-283; p<0.01), and general physical competence (r=.-360; p<0.01). On the other hand age
was significantly correlated with sport experience (r=.697; p<0.01), sport ability (r=.327; p<0.01), physical condition
(r=.461; p<0.01), body attractiveness (r=.551; p<0.01), strength (r=.224; p<0.05), and general physical competence
(r=.475; p<0.01). Similarly sport experience was significantly correlated with sport ability (r=.528; p<0.01), physical
condition (r=.519; p<0.01), body attractiveness (r=.280; p<0.01), strength (r=.299; p<0.05), and general physical
competence (r=.415; p<0.01). As a result of Stepwise Multiple Regression Analyses; age, sport experience, sport
ability, physical condition, body attractiveness, strength, general physical competence has caused 37.5% of the
